This working Turbojet engine was built using re-used parts and stainless cookware for under $200. Surprisingly, it actually was able to run for a couple minutes before having issues. Heat was the biggest issue, warping parts and causing things to melt and spark spectacularly. Considering how much commercially available turbines cost, this engine has been a great intro to gas turbines and has taught me much about the inner workings of these complicated machines.
