can you imagine the speed at which it evacuates the exhaust given the time scale of the video.

I would say supersonic speeds.

yeah its interesting to see them in slow motion then imagine it all happening at 7000rpm or more, it makes you appreciate just how good engines are and what forces they are exposed to!

We had one of those at the TAFE I worked at. You coul see the flame colour change from yellow (rich) to blue (lean) then when you really leaned it out you could watch the exhaust valve temp rise till they had a beaut red glow. I loved playing with it the students probably didn't give a rats.
