One reason: packing space. That V8 blender took up quite a lot of room!
But I was actually wondering whether one can't jury-rig a 12v blender using a model aircraft motor...

Stefan, you'll obviously need this jet powered fridge to go with your blender...Stefan wrote:Why would he bother with an inverter? Just get a V8 blender ala Topgear

What?!?!?! in that case, tie him to a chair and show him thisricster wrote: .... I actually suggested that ... but I think he missed that episode of TG
I love the Jet-engine powered cooler! I think I should incorporate that technology into the ZD30's turbo.
The other option that your friend has, Cedric, is to tap some power from the engine on a seperate gearbox, just like a tractor has. Otherwise I think Piet's idea of the RC aircraft engine should be his 3rd option before going for this inverter mumbo-jumbo.
