Yeah but it is possible to make it street legal with the right design I believe :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MTT_Turbine_Superbike

Thanks Mr. Kozy, I just went through wiki in search of operating range. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_turbine Its been quoted that the operating range of jet engines is around 10,000 rpm and micro gas turbines is around 500,000 rpm. I can understand that it is a bit high to gear down...

Thank you for reading. Turbine engines have been used earlier by Chrysler. If throttle response is a reason they aren't prevalent there are many ways to reduce it. If I am not wrong, the compressor can have variable geometry vanes(similar to VGTs) and thereby reduce lag. I learned that it...

Thanks Mr. Simon. I did happen to study the free body diagram. I found out that initially when the pulley is stationary, there is a tension force which is nothing but pre tension which is required to generate friction to make the belt and thereby the pulley to move. Now, when the driving...

Compression of slack side I understand the tightening of "slack side" of the belt when the pulley is being driven. But if the tension on the slack side(bottom as u have referred) was not the same and if it were lesser than the top then wouldn't the slack side compress? how does it stretch...
