Hi Paul,

   I don't recall anyone asking this question before, but if they have
and I missed it I apologize.  On reciprocating engines there are valves
that tame the exhaust pulse to a large degree, but on the rotary there
obviously is not and we get some really brutal super hot, near explosive
exhaust pulses as a result.  Even if we have nozzles, etc., aren't these
same pulses going to beat a turbine to pieces?

Thanks,
Robin

Please watch this video Robin and get back to me with that question.
