I don't get it.  All it does is make noise and smoke.  Is the turbine
actually connected to anything?

Oh yeah. There aren't any videos ready yet for publication because of
promotional restrictions. Notice that the available demos were in parking
lots, etc. I don't think Hooters wants a truck going through the parking lot
at 300 mph.   :-)

BTW - the jet engine wasn't running anywhere near max rpm's. Only enough for
flame, smoke and noise effects.

Read the above. See the part about "promotional restrictions"? The promoters
and show venue operators decide when/where to publish videos, according to
their contract with my son. The promoters own the rights to all show videos.

blowing smoke  (v.)  The act of bragging about something without being
able to back it up.

This is the last monitor ink I waste on you. I should have known after your
first response you were just a kid.
Plonk

How long does it take to smoke a ham in that thing?

LOL
It wouldn't take long. I walked behing the truck about 10 minutes after
shutdown and it was still radiating heat. I think my son said about 1700
degrees. And it is LOUD. People two miles away through the woods from where
he demonstrated it near my place called 911. They thought a plane had
crashed.

In blatant disregard to local noise ordinances no doubt.

SIGH.

There are no noise or disturbance ordinances out in the county. This is a
big rural county with a population of less than 30,000. TTBOMK the nearest
residence was a couple miles to the east. We were surprised, and the next
morning apologized to people and authorities (who were actually amused , and
asked when we could do it for them).

Ever think of running biodiesel through it?  Adds a little extra crowd
appeal as if a jet car doesn't have enough.  A jet car here in Saskatchewan
sponsered by a biodiesel plant is running one on 100% bio.  Exhaust smells
entirely different.  As fast as jets running their regular fuel.

The truck has a 200 gallon fuel capacity and two of the 50 gallon tanks are
dedicated to the jet engine. The actual spin-up and running took only four
minutes and burned over 60 gallons.

The front wheels on it look positively dangerous.

He manufactures them in his machine shop in Ft. Lauderdale, he calls them
spikes. I call 'em gladiator wheels. Here's a link to his site:

Click around his site, especially the F-650 and Ranger diesel videos.
