The first couple of runs in the development process of the Maddex Turbines air-brake dynamometer, with which we will test the Allison / RR 501 industrial series of turboshaft engines. They are a very slightly modified T-56 turboprop, and produce between 3,000 and 5,000 Hp.
I am not working on this project, but I was able to nab some footage, and hack together this update for you.
The "smoke" you see during the first run is actually oil mist coming from the lube oil reservoir vent on the totally independent system of the load compressor; the one in front of the running engine.
Notice there is no mist coming off the running engine in the second run...
