I found this rather obscure auction which has the complete Rover gas turbine Dynamometer educational set up for Auction now. Closing in three days. currently on $19.00
Froude Hydraulic Dynamometer with Accompanying Control Unit Auction (0009-3020489) | Grays Australia its located about halfway between Melbourne and Adelaide unless I'm mistaken. It;s the full educational set including the Froude Brake and control and measuring equipment. Gotta be worth more than the $19 AUS on offer at the moment...I'd love it but the distance and size makes it a bit on the hard size...

Nerdy stuff ....
The rotating core from the 2S100 series engines spawned a turbojet engine the CT3201 or TJ125. The gas generator section of the 2S series combined with a re-worked and simplified fuel and oil systems. The engine is fitted with a propelling nozzle and makes up to 125Lbs thrust at 65,000 rpm.
A great little engine and ideal for fitment to a go-kart chassis. Modest but fun performance could be had from the engine when fitted to a light weight chassis.
How annoyed would your neighbours be at an 8am Sunday warm up, he he.

I saw a supermarket trolley with a jet engine in it, bit of laugh but probably rather dangerous :)
