I just (weeks ago) looked at, and drooled on, a military surplus
power unit (GPU?) that's a multi-10KW electrical generator
driven by a very small jet engine. The WHOLE THING is a fat
suitcase, sat 32" x 32" x 24". Including the jet engine,
gearbox, generator!

Apparently they're around 100hp. Someone I was with stuffed
the motor from one into a motorcycle.

Suuure would be a nice fit in a bathtub rambler! 100hp ain't
much, but it's 15% more than stock, and the damn thing would
run on kerosene.
