From the linked video it doesn't appear to be able to move a 4 wheel (braked) trolley over a sheet of plywood / hardboard?
Is it going to get a 7 over a speed bump?
Would be fun trying though!

as britishtrident says, used in APU's (aux power units). not designed for thrust application. primary uses for creating bleed air - for running
air con packs and starting other engines and for providing power from its generator for initial start ups.

would be great for building a batmobile especially the intake, that looks identical
I think the insurance cost and the fuel bill would make it very impractical in a road car, shame
