A proving run of a RR Tyne engine, overhauled at Tourbillon Turbines, and used in a Navy frigate as the 5000 Hp cruise powerplant. Some explanation of the configuration of our test cell, which we use to safely load this beast of an engine.

This engine is a Tyne RM-1C

And if you are wondering about my mangled finger, I messed up a jump on my MTB, was going about 35 Km/hr, the front started dropping, then I hit a tree with my shoulder, and after flying about 15m while pitching and yawing, I landed on my head and punched the planet with my left hand. I was wearing those cycling gloves, which didn't cover the impact zone. Tore off some skin, helmet saved my noggin, and no real damage to me or the bike. Yay!
