<HTML>I have been given a gas turbine engine that was used as a starter for a jet aircraft engine. It is about 7" in dia x 12" long and is rated at 75 hp. It has a built in gear reduction box with a sprag clutch on the output shaft. The output speed is a max of 3000 rpm. Originally the turbine was spun by a compressed air bottle. This had obivious shortcomings when the bottle ran out of air, hence the modification to convert it into a gas turbine. Does anyone know if it is possible to convert such a turbine to steam? I would like to use it on a motorcycle. Regards, Jim Reed</HTML>
