Here.....Hold my beer......
While looking for something for Graywolf's R/C thread I came across this, and just had to share. Enjoy!

Even better (but no video--I thought there used to be one of this guy's contraption):
The jet powered beer cooler
It will also somewhat explain what's going on in a turbine engine using a dual turbocharger.

That was creativity at it's best Don. I like the part when the rear turbo was cherry red and I was waiting for it to blow apart, the one dude says na, its good, its still spinning!! 
(4:24) of coarse, based on that logic, they kept going! Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.

A turbocharger can be plumbed such to turn it into a (highly inefficient) "jet engine" of sorts, due to the fact that the turbines allow it to behave in kinda the same way a jet engine does.
Air is drawn into compressor, compressed, sent to "combustion chamber" above turbine inlet and ignited before it goes through the turbine.
