Holy mother of turbo-related calamities! You’ll need to watch this one over and over again, because it takes some serious seeing-to-believe.

While on a test run, mounted on a dyno, a green car with a stripped front end ramps up the revs. All is normal; all is fine. And then… a rag that had been tossed down on top of a printer close – but not that close – to the rig starts to flutter into the air. Before you know what’s happening the whole thing has been sucked into the turbo at high speed.

This Turbo Disastrously Sucks-In A Workshop Rag From Four Feet Away

To clarify, the sheer vacuum generated by the turbo was strong enough to lift the rag up into the air from at least several feet away, before the turbo itself brutally tears it to shreds in the process of eating it, like some kind of T-Rex on hard drugs.

The results for the engine will probably have been catastrophic. We sometimes joke about high-powered cars having turbos that could suck up babies and small animals, but this one actually might. Stay safe out there, kids.

I guess Dyson did some good homework on car parts and how they work, so they spiced it up a little.
