It is an air and electric starter cart.
It can make 72kw of electric and a few hundred kw worth of hot compressed air.
Then it sucks down about a gallon of jet fuel every 2 minutes at idle.

One of the gas turbines doing work.

That is the exhaust stream, looks pretty cool.

Here is a Hatz 25hp air cooled diesel engine with its air deflector removed so I could find an oil leak.

I was doing some clean up after doing some electrical so I plugged in my big shop vac to a receptacle that I had just finished working on but had not stuffed back inside the wall.
Here is what the 14 gauge wires looked like after running the shop vac for about 5 minutes.

Some heating of the wires is to be expected.

Curious that the weak point is the connector (plug).

Oh yes the plug and receptacle connection point is always the weak point.
I use the decent $2 each receptacles (not the 54 cent or $1 each cheap-o receptacles) and I do not use the push connectors, I strip the wire, hook it and secure it with the screw.

Here is my 8 gallon air compressor doing work. I needed lots of air and had not ran this thing in a few months so I figured I would drag it out.
Its a 5hp 30+ year old briggs and Stratton. The compressor is a siamese twin cylinder. Uses most of what little power the 5hp engine can make.

This is the compressor I want to replace. The tanks are rusted from years of having the drains replaced with pipe plugs (not by me). I have a Honda GX200 engine and I was going to make the air tank about 12 gallons and I was going to use the same compressor unit, just drive it a little faster with a bigger engine pulley.

A Detroit 4-51, 2 stroke diesel engine running fine.

A Detroit 4-51 with a dead cylinder.
