Re: Has anyone ever heard of Turbonique?
This dragster Odessey was a Turbonique rocket turbine that was raced in the day. The dragster went fast enough the problem was it kept burning up the turbine blades.

Re: Has anyone ever heard of Turbonique?
Hello,
I am looking to reproduce the turbonique engines and no plans exist for the turbonique drag-axle, (as far as I know) so I am looking for someone who has one and would be willing to lease it to me so I could reverse engineer the design. Any leads would be welcomed. |
