Bit OTT for a 5.8m RIB then.
 
Cool! that looks expensive!
 
Mr Buzzi built a splitter box for a turbine, with a similar concept, although I have to say, it looks a little stronger, but then we are talking about Buzzi!

How to make your own turbine..............

Get an old turbo, connect the cold side output to the hot side input.

Add a fuel feed and spark plug just after the cold turbine and hey presto!!

If you want a power turbine, just connect another free spinning compressor wheel with an output shaft after the hot end.
