now ive seen micro jet turbines used in model jets and heli's but could this power be adapted to a boat? there are turbo props that run a prop off of the turbine shaft and heli's use a drivetrain to get power to the rotor... so could it be used to power a prop or two? or even straight jet power? would make a great project boat!! if anyone builds one send me a picture!

DId I mention it would be Bad?
