Turbo tricks

[Dean]

If you wan't to see a bit on Turbonique go to:
http://hre.com/turbonique.html

and don't forget to email the dude and ask for him to put up more info
on the web (he asks us to write in) and to reproduce the technical 
manual which is supposed to tell ya how to build the thing.

The jet thrust is probably correct but I would take the claimed 
Jet Horse Power with a grain of salt though.
