I had no direct experience with turbos until Fusor V, but do have experience with gyroscopes of some size. I bolted the living hell out of my little turbo to the rigid fusor table which is bolted to the wall of the building with the side wall bolted into the concrete floor with poured molten lead anchor bolts. Certainly over kill, but I don't worry about the turbo torqueing around.

All,
After I realized that the frame had to be closed on all sides, and a additional post for the other side of the turbo, everything got rock solid, and the turbo spins up without any problems.
I will move over to Images du Jour from now on, since things are getting very basic.
Cheers, Finn Hammer
