Paul,
That accesory drive case looks just like the one on a solar turbine.
Do you
know if Dave adapted it?

I think it was custom made by Racing Beat. Jim Mederer built aircraft
engines
for others as well. This one is particularly cosmetic :)

This is the engine built by Racing Beat but paid for and designed by BEC
Engines here in San Diego.  Maurice Brockington, now in 80's, lives now
in Chula Vista. He and I  have talked and he has been to my house..

The engine is now sitting in a hanger at Brown Field and I have been
trying to get him to let me display it. He will not let it out for any
aircraft use. It  did run on the dyno at RB and produced 200hp...

It could run again if it was rebuilt and updated.  The last time it ran
was in the early late 80's to early 1990's.....Maurice said he PSRU was
not developed and was an issue...

There is very long and interesting story on it's history and development
but essentially it fell apart because of money and unethical investors.

Mr Brockington was a mechanical engineer here at one of the  now non
existent aerospace companies here in SD.. He put this all together on
his own dollar and did a beautiful job...

I consider him one of the real forward thinkers, a risk taker, and he
deserves our complete respect as group.  We are all pushing ultimately
for the same goal and he was apart of that path but got forgotten over
time.

Just thought you would want to know........

Hilborne mechanical injection I see but what are the two pressure sensors for on the outer intake tubes below the nozzles? I cant see the other two underneath the inner two runner but i see lines running from what looks like a distribution node.
