Tim Pentecost Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 (edited) Here are some pics I have of a Turboniques Mustang I did. I do have some construction pics that I can post if anyone would like to see such an animal.

dub Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 VERY COOL! I have seen pictures of this in the magazines and I am glad to see it here so I can get a better look at it. This isn't the device that Jairus' post is about, but I thought it was. How does the 1:1 engine work? It's something I've been trying to figure out. Where does the combustion happen? Sorry for the Q's about the 1:1, but I've never seen one of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave D Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Now there is something you don't see every day. That is neat ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Pentecost Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 If you will give me a snail mail address, I will make copies of the magazine articles I have and will send them to you. Would that work for ya? That way you'll have the entire history of the product and how they work. TimP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimKustom Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Hey Tim, How 'bout scanning those articles and hosting them so we all could see. I've got a major thing for Turboniques. Got some ideas for a future project powered by one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr moto Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 That's amazing! All the more so because I remember seeing those ads in car magazines many years ago. I didn't know if they really worked or if that was just a fly-by-night scam. Back in those days there wasn't always that much difference between the two! If it was real, I reasoned, why wasn't everybody using them? I must have been as whacko as everybody else! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RatRod Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I remember seeing those in the magazines back when I was a kid too!!! Always thought they were kinda weird, but what a great build subject!!! Awesome job Tim, and thanks for the memories!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
