Would this make my Moke more powerful. I think it is a far better way achieving extra power than going to a big block

Get twins and run dual hiclones for an extra boost , you'll be more efficient than a Prius as well .

I reckon a Hiclone and a 9v battery (makes it a hybrid!), I could actually make petrol instead of consuming it.

if it doesn't work, it looks like you could use it to scale fish...

product reviewer's comment:

which in the days of $3/gallon petrol is nothing to be laughed at

So does a rocket engine. Did you see that VW New Beetle in California which uses the original engine and a jet from a helicopter? It's here: http://www.ronpatrickstuff.com/ It's got two engines which work to move the car, using separate power sources/fuels, so therefore it's a hybrid. I like his comments about using the Commuter/Hybrid lanes on the highway, just like Prius driving fools! :twisted: :lol: Nothing like using poorly written legislation against the authors. 8) If only it was in something better than a VW - although having an afterburner hanging out the rear end would spoil the looks of most cars... New :lol: Beetles are hard to make any worse. Maybe that's the sort of swirling air you should use to make the Moke faster! :twisted: :lol:

a gas turbine Moke would be great. Especially if achieved forward motion through thrust rather than a gearbox.

You could mount it on a pedistal on the back - but I dont know if the four drums would be up to it
