Maybe it&#8217;s time to upgrade to a Steve Saunders-esque V8 Corvette. Or maybe you want to drop some serious cash and get the 16 cylinder Veyron (with its <a href=\"http:\/\/auto.howstuffworks.com\/bugatti1.htm\" target=\"_blank\">four turbochargers<\/a>). But no matter how many cylinders it has, your car won&#8217;t ever be as cool as one powered by a turbine jet engine.<\/p>\n<p>Typically thought of for airplanes, <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/General_Electric_T700\" target=\"_blank\">helicopters<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Gas_turbine-electric_locomotive\" target=\"_blank\">locomotives<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Honeywell_AGT1500\" target=\"_blank\">army tanks<\/a>, turbine engines have some interesting advantages over internal combustion: lower weight, increased horsepower and torque, and you can feed them almost anything &#8211; the ones I&#8217;ve played with were filled with kerosene, diesel, and anything else highly flammable we could find in the garage. They&#8217;re reasonably simple machines, mechanically less complicated than a car&#8217;s gas engine. But they also come with an hefty thirst, and generate crazy amounts of heat.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1483 aligncenter\" title=\"JunkyardJet\" src=\"http:\/\/mikesenese.com\/DOIT\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/JunkyardJet.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mikesenese.com\/DOIT\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/JunkyardJet.jpg 475w, https:\/\/www.mikesenese.com\/DOIT\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/JunkyardJet-145x103.jpg 145w, https:\/\/www.mikesenese.com\/DOIT\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/JunkyardJet-285x202.jpg 285w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For the past ten years, Michael Davis has been <a href=\"http:\/\/www.junkyardjet.com\" target=\"_blank\">building his own turbine jets from parts that he sources online and in junkyards<\/a>.

Back in the early 1960&#8217;s, Chrysler focused a lot of resources on creating a viable turbine jet engine car. The high point of their push was in 1963 when they released 50 cars to a group of &#8220;average&#8221; people for real world testing. The results were good, and <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Chrysler_Turbine_Car\" target=\"_blank\">according to the car&#8217;s wikipedia page<\/a>, the cars logged 1.1million miles over the testing phase and only had 4% downtime. But, hilariously, they were described as sounding like giant vacuum cleaners, a negative point that helped kill the program. Ultimately and unfortunately, the whole program died during the government bail out in the 1970s.<\/p>\n<p>Chrysler also produced a promotional video for the turbine program in classic early-60&#8217;s style. Check out the proving grounds they test their cars on &#8211; that&#8217;s an unusual amount of winding dirt trails for your &#8220;average&#8221; Chrysler driver, right? If it still exists, I would love to bring a few cars there to test out myself.<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"640\" height=\"505\" classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/jUf42Nv5GZY&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1?rel=0&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999\" \/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><embed width=\"640\" height=\"505\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/jUf42Nv5GZY&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1?rel=0&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999\" allowFullScreen=\"true\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" \/><\/object><\/p>\n<p>Other turbine engine cars pop up from time to time, most recently a few weeks ago on eBay when someone was unloading a Boeing T-50 powered Porsche 928.
