    Sorry. Nothing for you. See "Rocket" above.
    Just to give GoNuts the last corrections that he so desperately needs,
    Starting is not a point of high wear for gas turbines, unless you act like an idiot after start and slam open the thrust lever [throttle] before the engine has reached internal thermal stability.
    As you would expect, the most wear [per minute] occurs at takeoff thrust, which is typically limited to five minutes. The most wear per cycle [i.e. flight] occurs during climb. Less wear per minute but more minutes. Power generation gas turbines would never be operated at the pressures and temperatures used on aircraft and are permanently derated.
    You say older gas turbines use nearly the same fuel at idle as they do under load? Well, even basic physics would tell you that was wrong.
    For some reason that escapes me, Confuzed1 and JL were conversing above about information from the 1950s and 1960s for the old technology Northern Power Station and it's dinky little steam turbines . When I mentioned the figure "35 Mw" it was in the context of bringing what they were talking about into the 21st century. I said, and meant, that about the smallest gas turbine you would find in a grid connected power station now would be about 35 Mw. Times have changed. The smallest gas turbines in Australia in that setting, AFAIK, are some very old technology Pratt and Whitney JT8D derivatives in the Tamar Valley Power Station in Tasmania.
    And as for "man portable", I was still talking about the little Siemens "2Kw toaster" unit you kindly provided a photo of. Clearly it isn't man portable despite your classic avoirdupois boo boo.
    Talk to the hand, from now on.
