Instrumentation includes gauges for gas generator oil pressure, power turbine oil temperature, electrical system voltage, compressed air system pressure, N1 (gas generator percent RPM), N2 (power turbine percent RPM), exhaust gas temperature, vehicle speed, fuel burn rate in gallons per hour, and a compass from a military helicopter. The cart has oil coolers for both the gas generator section of the engine and the power turbine section, an electric air compressor to keep the air tank for the clutch and train horn at operating pressure, and a 12 volt on-board battery and alternator.
The custom rear axle with differential is equipped with Wilwood disc brakes and a 2:1 reduction via the chain drive from the engine's output shaft. The fuel tank holds 9.6 gallons of jet fuel, enough for up to one hour of run time. The cart is styled with a rocket hood ornament, functional air intake scoops, 1959 Cadillac tail lights, 1968 Cadillac headlight assemblies, a neon tube third brake light and a roof mounted train horn, and a 5 inch baloney-cut exhaust pipe. It was designed to be able to attain a top speed of 80 mph with the power turbine at 100% rated speed, although I have personally never taken it above 75 mph and it handles best in the 40 to 62 mph range.
The cart is fully functional and can be driven. Gas Turbine Jet Engine Powered Golf Cart Own one of the only jet powered golf carts in the world! See her run!
