GT-90 dual Turbo Jet Engine Hybrid V-12
 

I really don't want to sound like an idiot but I geuss I'm going to have to :(

What exactly is this engines Mechanics, how does a turbo jet engine make 6 cylinders? If you think its a stupid qeustion you don't have to answer But I would like to know what makes this engine work?

don't worry i'm not car ilterate I 'm actually halfway to getting my ASE certification.

A jet engine has no cylinders, so i am thoroughly confused by your question. where did u see this?

I was also puzzled by this here is where I found it.

I know that back in the 60's chevy made "turbo-jet" engines, but that had to do with the intake system. Basically i think who ever wrote that is a dumbass.

the GT 90 was a consept car abpot 10 years ago,

The car never went into production so that page doesn't really have accurate information, and it didn't go into production because the car handled sooo bad.

^^ But it explained his question :wink:

gt90 engine was two v6 joined together, if i remember correctly.

Well V-12 gave that away.

Even if it couldn't turn, It was still fast as hell and would have looked alot better to have a black one of these than that ugly thing they are using for the new batmobile.

I think I recall another reason the GT-90 never made it was that the engine produced too much heat, something like 1400 degrees F. Wasnt safe to operate for long periods...cant remember where I heard that though.

Not only that, but they had major mechanical reliability issues with the prototype. It wouldn't stop overheating. It never was a production car though.

A lot of the other information on that page is inaccurate as well. I wouldn't put too much stock into anything you read there. :wink:

A turbo charger and a jet engine are similar from a mechanical point of view. You can even use a large turbo to make a jet engine. I gues that's what has confused the author.

^^ NO ... dude .. a jet engine is a combustion engine .... a supercharger or a turbo charger is just a a compressor .... ..
thats one of the lamest thing i've ever heard .. no offence ...

just to point out another obvious fact.. when you join 2 v6's you get a W12 engine.. (ie volkswagen) to get a V12 you combine 2 inline 6 engines..

or 2 V6's :wink:
