I saw one run at Lions. Very quiet, just tire howl.
It used a mono propellant liquid fuel rocket motor running Nitro to generate
lot's of hot gas. This went through a turbine, like the exhaust side of a large
Turbo.
The shaft drove a gear that turned a pinion shaft instead of a compressor.
I had them mail me all of their tech stuff (long gone).
