but....why??????...

If I had won the main Euro lottery I would have needed one of those to keep the chill of the car garage I would have built ::)

just wait till he gets the rest of it.

;D That wouldn't do my fence panels much good!

Brilliant :y :y :y
Good to British eccentrics still exist. They have not all been smothered by H&S.

..... They have not all been smothered by H&S.
Agreed, but as per some of the comments from ex-enginners, a guard over the front wouldn't be a bad idea. I can't see that hundreds of blades spinning a silly rpm would take many prisioners! You'd be sucked through & splattered/sprayed over the ground behind before you could even think about it! ::) ::)

A friend of mine in Canada who is an Engineer with Bonbardier sent me a copy of a fatal accident enquiry on an Engineer that was sucked into and exhausted through a jet engine after we had been speaking about what would happen if.........
The report contained detailed photos of the incident which quite frankly couldn't be shown on an open forum.
These guys don't know what they don't know. ::)

??? :o
full throttle and everybody sucked in including wife and home ;D
and I'm not sure this frame can hold it even at high revs :(
too much time and money in his hands!

I was working at Gatwick when Boing ::) launched the 777. The safety notice arrived about a week before the actual aircraft and made for some scary reading...
At idle the safety zone at the front was about 45 ft, and the rear about 100ft.
At full power the front was about 100ft and the rear nearly 400ft :o
but....why??????...
But why not :y
Fear not Cem, that is what the frame is designed for, as for his wife, I'm not sure he's that fussed...but with one of those in the garden, why would you need to be married?

Used to sit on the tail plane with a big avo multimeter too carry out some electrical checks on one of these :y

First vid is standard industry health and safety fodder ::) rest are stupid people who don't know better ::) the results of which are all too predictable :-\
Frame is anchored at the back and not going anywhere, also operating that engine at anything much over idle would likely draw in anything in front that isn't bolted down the implications of which should be obvious to anyone capable of getting that old lump to fire up...I'd hope :y
