Great subject matter but the production is just annoying crap. Horrid pacing, the editor couldn’t get through one sentence without a cut, usually several cuts per sentence and jumps between different interviewers. Still worth a watch.
Interviews with the engineers, drivers, and owners of the Chrysler Turbines. One of those projects that seems like it should work but never really got the bugs worked out, at least not at an affordable price. In the end it was killed off by big men with small minds. Jay Leno cooked his engine and has a group attempting to rebuild it. Maybe they can salvage some of the engineering and come up with better materials and manufacturing to get something going again.
Ironically the tech lives on… in the M1 Abrams tank. Turbines for me but not for thee.
