This is a run-up of my home built turbocharger turbojet engine. Long, but perhaps of some interest to other engine builders. It is fairly old now and dated somewhat and I now know far far more about jet engines than I did then. Please go effortless on me guys… It is my very first video! I would like to problem a challenge to all fellow Do it Your self Turbojet engine builders and brushless electric R/C park flyer hobbiests/producers out there. Please comment and talk about the feasibility of mounting a small “outrunner” style permanent magnet brushless electric motor to the compressor side of this and comparable engines. I understand that shaft harmonics and bearing limitations will play a quite significant role in regardless of whether or not such a motor/generator mixture would hang together at 140000 RPM or a lot more. Of course, related power electronics with the capacity to switch from starter motor to DC generator would require to be created as properly to efficiently (fairly speaking) generate electricity at these ultra high speeds. Such a device would mimic some of the hybrid turbocharger or “electrically assisted turbochargers” that have been developed by Garrett and other people in recent years. These have been developed, created and built to decrease “turbo lag” and recover wasted power in the form of electrical energy with the intention of supplementing the charging technique in vehicles. They have not fairly produced it to marketplace but in any production vehicles that I know of. I am crossing my fingers! A hybrid …
Video Rating: 4 / five
its cool and everything but whats the point
I see a few of these , but where do you take off the out put shaft to run whatever?
Hello. I would like to build one, do you have any tutorial or blueprints? drawings?. I don’t know anything about Combustion Chambers, Oil systems.. Thank you.
Very nice little engine you have over there.
Any idea of how much thrust it could produce, and how much propane it eats?
Also – you dont have a alternator there to recharge the battery, is that right?
still one of the best tutorial vids on turbo jet home made engines ,,,thanks so much
Very nicely done! Get more power out of it by creating a divergent duct at the inlet and try to make a diffuser after the turbine section with a nozzle. Place extra fuel nozzles after the tail pipe and make yourself and afterburner.
I really liked the video! It looks a very neat and hard work, congratulations!! Greetings from Argentina
Is there any chance of getting the power to run the pump and the ignition system from the turbo itself??? btw it’s a very resourceful video thanks for sharing
:):)
well believe it or not, which is the oil inlet and which one is the oil outlet
the round hole with thread ? is that the oil inlet, or is it the square hole opposite, sorry im new to turbos gggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I’d love to see your application of this or related engines. Thanks for taking the time, it was a gas!
cool you tale me what inside of the combustion chamber
@hgortermarof The only difference (essentially) between the homemade version like this and a manufactured turbojet engine is the location of the combustion chamber. On an actual turbojet engine, it would be wrapped around the center of the turbo, instead of routed around. This, and the fact that it doesn’t have multiple stages of compression, a starter motor, afterburner, etc.
gg man !
why dont you use any form of protection against the heat or a sudden explosion?
a turbo afterall is no jet
Bill Nighy the science guy the science! Bill Bill Bill!
At what point did your wife kick you out of the house?
nice job.
Hank Hill approves.
PUT IT ON SOMETHING!!!!!!
Do you use it to warm the livingroom?
Excellent! Glad that other fuels such as diesel will work. I don’t fancy messing around with gas!
u made a military grade smoke generator
, nice job with the jet, love the simple construction
I also would like to know if you have a flame tube in the combuster also what kind of nozzle are you using to inject the propane into the combuster? Your reply would be welcome. I am starting my own build and am working on some combustion chamber designs. EXCELLANT JOB!
der typ quatscht un quatscht….. es nervt!
i loved it man.. its so awesome. but i am thinkin, that how did you made the motors of the turbo move sooo fast..?
would it be possble toput this back in a car??
