This is how Russians melt snow and ice during their intense winters—by strapping a Klimov VK-1 engine from Mig-15 onto a truck.


 I think one of these would have taken care of the snow at the end of my driveway (and probably my entire lawn, neighbors lawn, and the woods behind my house) no problem.

Some of the Pratts that drive for the local councels would end up melting the roads completely with one of those.   ;D ;D

What do you think the first Russian and US engines were?

Yes based on the first British centrifugal compressor engines

And you could have bought one from Fleabay for only £2000,  http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180453245201&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Looked interesting however it uses 2000L of juice per hour on full chat. I wonder if it would run on LPG ?.
