or you could connect the engines end to end making a v12.
mmmm logic.

they are similar in the same way that they are similar to a fan. which really doesnt mean anything.

d'oh.

excuse stupidity... i'm starting to go insane

Im gonna hate the day when Petrol does not run our cars. Imagine losing the sound we are so used to hearing now in powerplanted cars.

well, i hate to prove you wrong...
have you ever heard of a tesla turbine?
varioius projects have been completed turning a turbo-charger into a tesla-style turbine engine...
more information about telsa turbine theory is here

Yeah, its actually incredibly easy to make a jet engine from a turbocharger. Just whack a combustion chamber between the compressor and the turbine, pass high pressure high mass flow rate air through the comressor entrance, feed fuel to the combustion chamber, spark her up, and away you go!
A gas turbine engine is an Axial version of an automotive centrifugal turbocharger with the combustion chamber in the middle, and usually a series of compressor and turbine stages.

Eat your words saadie, you just jumped off the deep end with no fucking arm bands!

i dont belive a jet engine has any moving parts, it just compresses air to a very highpressure and temperature and shoots it out the back. pardon my stupid explanation. :roll:

ram-jets have no moving parts, and require special fluid dynamics upon start-up... and have higher efficiancy at speed then a turbine engine.
a turbine jet engine is an axial compressor, which is how they generate mroe then just thrust based power.

ill scan in some material for you...

At first I was thinking that this made no sense, but then it occured to me that if you combusted fuel on the exaust side of the turbine, then you do have something similar to a gas turbine engine, I supose..
