Five foot long, with a maximum diameter of seven inches, the engine, which weighs only 250 pounds, has 160 brake horse-power and produces a performance equivalent to that of a petrol-driven car of 35-40 h.p.

This engine, design- ed to power lorries, small river craft and Timousines, has no dan- gerous exhaust like the |normal jet engine, and runs on diesel oil, using. a negligible quantity of lubricant: It has no pistons, cylinders, sporking plugs, radia tor or clutch. The in- ventors believe that in a few years a much smaller turbine will power the ordinary family automobile.
