12,000 horsepower Jet Engine Tractor

[@garethbrown4231]

imagine how many beers you had before you thougt you know what my tractor needs a jet engine awsome

[@crystal_music_official]

Imagine how much heat it must generate.

[@badgear]

A lot

Thanks!

Welcome!

Some say he's still pulling to this day...

[@travisyayes6343]

Id like to know how it produces torque?

[@mike-ph3fk]

If you think of a jet engine as a gas generator, it makes loads of hot, fast air. That air passes over a power collection turbine. As it spins, it gets directed to a gear box via an output shaft. The gear box reduces the rpm from +10000 down to a few hundred. Goes through the transmission from there for application to the wheels. Hope this is understandable

[@travisyayes6343]

@mike-ph3fk yeah it is. Thks

[@travisyayes6343]

@mike-ph3fk it sounds like a torque converter in a transmission except instead of liquid it uses air?

[@mike-ph3fk]

@@travisyayes6343 Torque converters don't make power. Gas generators make power by burning kerosene, or jet fuel to make the working fluid, which is hot and fast moving air. There very well could be a fluid coupler that behaves in a similar fashion to a traditional torque convertor between the output shaft of the power turbine, and reduction gearbox.

[@raymondkurtz]

so is it a jet, or a turbine?

[@thegiantisopod6299]

Its a turboshaft engine which is a type of turbine engine. Jets also use turbine technology inside of their engin. For turboshaft the turbine assembly is used to spin a shaft to produce shaft horsepower. For jets the turbine inside of the engine is used to produce thrust instead of rotating a shaft.

whats the f'n point. put more weight on obv. Wow it EASILY pulled that shit. i hope 12k hp did
