The LASER would be mounted in a safe cool place and fire through a lig= ht=20 wire.

Or a multi facet reflective target in each rotor face to direct beams = in=20 every direction, or high pressure injection right through a laser beam.

Or the same idea but into a prechamber like the huge Curtis Wright=20 rotaries, so it can run on any flammable liquid, like Jet A or waste oil,

or raw crude oil, or LNG? The mind boggles.................
