Thanks a lot Stoffe!  It feels good to enter the third decade, we were a whole bunch of friends (mostly Speed Weekend racers) who went away for the holiday to a cabin in Åre to celebrate.  Along with the beer and grog we brought a gas turbine and a pedal driven wanking machine so you can rest assured that we had tons of fun, Olle even managed to break one of my ribs so now I know what it feels like to get old... ;D  |

Not sure, but it revs so hard that it scared the hell out of us. One guy actually tried to use it late one night but fortunately for him he couldn´t get in the right condition for it to work... ;D

heh that's f'd up. I wrote into Howard Stern a while back offering to fit a Wren WM54 turboshaft into a Sybian which is an electric device used to make girls happy (really really happy). The Sybian was a regular part of the Howard Stern show and it was only rated at .08 horsepower! OK the Wren is 8 horsepower and while that's out of the question we could start at say .09 horsepower and see what we see.... Hell the fire and noise alone would get it done! they never wrote back..............  |

OK, my Youtube account needs more traffic. I have a bitchin camera, any volunteers for some destructive testing on that there wanking machine? I'll be a nice guy and donate any horsepower motor needed. Hell, I'll donate all the metal parts!

OK, I designed a wanking machine that uses 767 horsepower but due to mechanical losses it's only 584 horsepower at the "output shaft" Screw that I aint building it. Hey, I play with turbines because i wanted to get away from cranks and other monkey motion crap plus my wife is sexy.
