    there are other brands too and they are not uncommen in RC planes.
    sometimes you find them on e-bay and a deeper search may even show model turbine boats..

    I think the diagram is helpful. It is also an insiration. Now the next step is to get the materials and I hope I can gain some ground sometime. Thanks for refering me to ebay about the turbines. I will check it out.

    I haven't followed the thread But when i saw that you where dealing with gasturbines for marine applications i would like to name a swedish company that works with (among other things) gasturbine control systems, www.nira.se.
    The system is in use in a couple of ships, fast going.

    NIRA is the company that developed the Volvo Penta EDC and started CPAC systems that now makes the VP EVC.

    Maybe you have this all covered already:

    searching the net for turbines i see Jeff placed this link allreadeady 3 years ago. running on jetA or diesel most turbines only seem to be more thirsty than diesels at stationair. water injection isnt used much since jets hate to cary extra load, steam flashing is used however forexample only when jump jets start and land since it considerably improves thrust. how is that with boat turbines?

    Thanks for the input

    Whoever sent the e-mail about the Arneson surface drives with turbine application, I thank for sharing my interest for gas turbines.
