Like all turbines they turn over extremely fast. I have some literature on it somewhere . . . . They are certainly very different. Go for it! | ||

A turbine has been on my shoping list for a long time now
I really like the screeming sound they make There is a video of one in action here http://www.toysteam.net/wit90final.wmv |

The T90 is not as loud as I thought it would be from hearing it on videos. The output pulley is geared down considerably.
Dentist drill is a very appropriate description of the sound. It does not seem especially powerful, but is quite interesting. I plan on connecting mine to my generator, at some point. The entire turbine assembly is plastic. So far, this does not seem to be a problem. Nice engine-I am glad I got it! |

I've heard the plastic often cracks at the mounting holes (but they still work fine). EDIT: I see this is an old thread, did you ever end up buying one? |
