I used the phrase, and wondered, "Where in the world did that idiom come from?" I still don't know it had previous history, but that is where I got it, I'm sure.

Funny idea. But why not get rid of the jet engine nozzle if you're going to do it that way? You taper down at the nozzle just to expand back up at the turbo turbine inlet (just to taper again inside the turbine scroll),
You can get those little jet engines with a power take off turbine already too. Attach compressor wheel & cover to that. Axial turbine better than radial, no? Exhaust ducting may be more hassle.

Has anyone ever priced an RC gas turbine? They don't last long either. Seems retarded to me, unless a drag only vehicle, even then tho...
There are better ways to make a gas generator, but they're probably not off the shelf.

Its exhaust is being used to spin the turbine of a turbocharger, instead of the exhaust of the main piston engine.
This is a dumb idea.
