I think you are going to have some serious problems.  Not only will the AC
waveform be a problem, you'll probably thermally destroy any motor you try
to run at those speeds.

In my opinion, i'd say look elsewhere for a powersource, or perhaps look
elsewhere for another application to use your jet.

You would probably be much better off using this jet as a propulsion device
for a jet powered scooter, bike, or skateboard.  Be much more fun!
Or hell, just attach it to your car.

Hello all

Surf on over to this web page and check out the Turbo Jet I'm emulating.
http://www.gas-turbines-dot-com/

The Idea is to generate electricity with the jet and use it to power the
coil.
I'm shooting for 1000 watts. We will see.

Hear is my question
I'm designing my own generator that will be able to take the huge RPM that
the turbo spins at. It red lines at 70,000 RPM but I don't think the
alternator will see more than 50,000 RPM. So if I'm spinning a magnet
surrounded by wire at such great speeds, will the AC waveform be a problem?
I don't expect it will be as slow as 60hz. I'm wondering if it would be a
hassle for a spark gap design, Or coil operation in general of that mater.
What say you?

Read you later
Josh
