So if they have enough airflow, will the car speed-up ? What section does this go in ? Taurus is 4,500 cfm, maybe (2) mounted in front of rear mounted radiator ? Fan Car ? "They laughed at Foulton too". roverman.

Cheers
Fred

Was it Hot Rod that ran a story about using garden blowers in a car a few years back ? They actually measured some amount of boost ... Well not probably the most compact package but boost is boost !

Jim S., I think your on/onto something-here... (2) weed blowers mounted on the "side" of the bucket ! Rocket Belts would "pail" by comparison. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz roverman.

> Rocket Belts would "pail" by comparison.

The Cat: I say let's get into the jet-powered rocket pants and Junior Birdman the hell out of here.

Kryten: An excellent and inventive suggestion, sir, with just two tiny drawbacks. A, We don't have any jet-powered rocket pants. And B, There's no such thing as jet-powered rocket pants outside the fictional serial "Robbie Rocket Pants".

The Cat: Well, that's put a crimp on an otherwise d*mn fine plan.

Personally I think that being able to drive across the ceiling is a helluva plan.
