Wraping it with some kevlar would be cheap insurance.



Ok how about wiring.....Pictured below is a voltage regulator for the 24 volt anyone care to comment on how this is wired?

The rest is pretty straight forward.
The picture with the three contactors The middle is the reverse current relay the two outsides are 600 amp
start contactors.
I will have a switch to throw to engage the 24 volt charge
wired to the reverse current.
The start relays are easy they can go right to the crank
Key ignition.
Some other features we will employ will be a seperate switch
for the start fuel. This willl help in the event of a hot start
if the pyro is climbing to high on startup you will have the ability to cut the x-tra start up fuel. This should reduce the
pyrometer temp.

Gerry, change your avatar That one is history already.

Wait until you start those puppies up the first time on a hose. You will be looking for some open water to splash that thing in January.

Some pre machining was required. They will be sent out for metal spraying then remachined to tollerance.

This just in from our Cad design center.


Its basicaly what came to me while at a bar written on a
cocktail napkin with a crayon.


Anyone care to modify it?

It is the water setup for the engines.
I have got dry exhaust and the only water it basicly
needs is oil cooler and maybe power steering.

Im thinking this pump.http://www.jabsco.com/products/marin...2098/index.htm

Why not use a heat exchanger and make it a closed system ?

That way you can control the oil temp. and not worry about the salt water. Not sure on turbine how important that is.

My thoughts at first was the same However,
The canton oil stats I used for the Pistons
run at 215 this is close to the Recomended Turbine
oil Temp.

This in combo of what I illistrated should work.
