> Wouldn't a turbo-fan jet engine be considered internal combustion?
Actually, this reminds me of something I was wondering about (and your
question is helping to confirm my deduction)...
Pardon my ignorance, here: In turbine-powered vehicles that are mechanically
driven (as opposed to being propelled by the exhaust of the turbine), such
as the Chrysler Turbine car of the 60's, jet-powered tractor pull
"tractors", and possibly Jay Leno's motorcycle... Where is the mechanical
link to the drivetrain? Is it really just the fan of the turbine? What kind
of reducer must there be to translate that ridiculous RPM into streetable
revolutions of something like a driveshaft?
Believe it or not, this is the kind of pillow-talk that goes on at my house.
