Well, if those are home made turbine engines (which fits with redneck ;D ) then they used turbochargers as the base. As there's nothing to start the turbo's turbine wheel spinning (where the fun happens) it's common to use a leaf blower or compressed air to get the process started.

The leafblower is used for engine start.
These are a similar but simpler construction than the German WW2 pulse jet.
I remember something from "scrap heap challenge" where they built one to power a vehicle.

i think there is a miscommunication here...most likely on my part, so let me apologize to anyone who i might have insulted with my comments.
the intent was humor, and the stereotype that i picture when making fun of "rednecks" is more Joe Dirt than Dale Earnhardt.
anyway, my bad.
