We did this to a turbo charger back in the 90's. We didnt run it longer than a few seconds. No lubrication system for the bearings.
Colin is VERY annoying... He has mastered the art of creating stupid shit and getting PAID from youtube. Welcome to the dumbing down of society. It's sad when more people are interested in some clown pouring copper onto an Iphone than watching actual hard work and artistry. I'd starve if I had to be a youtuber.
Ya, I've got to agree... Very annoying. However you should search for his thermite gun. That thing is freak'n cool...
