I am planning to use Garrett GTCP 85-397 200hp gas turbine in a garden tractor. Yes a garden tractor!!! To accoplish this feat, I wish to couple a turbine to a multitronic with a belt drive reducer. At full power this engine runs at 42,000 RPM. Its onboard reduction drive is running at 6500 rpm. I have run some throttling test down to under 1000 rpm at the output. Thru belt reduction this could be about 500 at the transmission.
What model of multitronic is best suited for this job?
Can it be operated without it computer and shifted manually?
Where is a good source for one?
You can see (2) videos of my engine on You Tube titled, "GTCP 85-397"
Thanks !!!

 

How much noise does it make? How much do they cost? Were do you buy them? What type of fuel do you use? How big is your garden? Is you garden tractor an Audi?
A better use for such a turbine would be with an experimental airplane, helicopter or a boat. Cars will always be stuck in trafic jams. A turbine is better at a constant cruising speed.
So get youself a hybrid auto and put in a turbine generator for cruising. You could use an old Audi Quattro with a blown engine.
A turbine spinning at 42,000 rpm has inertia which may shear off gear teeth, if the speed suddenly changes.

 

Troll!
