Default DIY Turbine?

Anyone willing to take a chance on a home made turbine? Maybe this is what's left of the infamous Hobby King Turbine project?

Check this out.

Here's a good one. It's actually a Jet Joe that he is trying to break in. (or maybe he is trying to burn his house down).

This has been shown before, but I'm sure some of you haven't seen it.

Not worth it. By the time you buy an ECU, Valves, Pump, and other odd's-n-end's... you will be at the price of a basic King Tech.

I didn't realize you have to "break in" your turbine. I guess you have to get those piston rings seated somehow, right? LOL
