Hi Kevin,

Pictures would be interesting! It's out of my price range, but indeed very cool!

If you have a digital camera and want to post pics, you could use classictesla.com to do it. Just send me some pictures. I'll set up a page where people can view what it is your selling.

Take care,
Bart

I am thinking of selling my jet turbine powered APU and xfmrs. It was used in the tail of a KC-135 tanker jet to power everything and heat the jet. It is a Solar turbine engine, powering a 30KW 3 phase 115v 400hz generator. It's exhaust goes through a heat exchanger with a circulation motor built in. It would heat the interior of the jet. At 36000 ft it is -65 out, so you can get a lot of heat out of it if you want to double it up as a garage heater. I have a full manual for it.

You can use just one leg at 10kw and power a 60hz pig for a normal system.

The thing sounds pretty awesome running!

I have 2 radar (about 15kw each) transformers that were used at a NORAD
base. Just so happens they take 115v 3 phase and put out 24kv DC. (there are
sockets for rectifier tubes on top but you could use diodes instead) They
will match up perfectly with the generator.

I also have a second turbine exactly like the firs one, it also for sale.
This could be used as a backup. You will always have spare parts this way if
you want.

I am asking $2500 for the turbine, $3000 for the turbine and transformers.
$2000 for the backup turbine.

This would make for one heck of a portable dc based tc system. I am guessing
3 phase 400hz rectified to dc would be interesting in it's self to work
with.

Contact me off list if you are interested.
