How bout some fuel system details old friend _____ From: DIYGasTurbines@yahoogroups.com [mailto:DIYGasTurbines@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Mike Early Sent:...
Chris - This augmenter does not use fuel; it uses energy from the exhaust. I know it is not much fun without fuel going everywhere; but it is still a jet. I...
Hi all! I've not posted in a while, but always thinking about you guys! Anyway, I just saw a cool new product on SparkFun.com. It's a spark gap ignitor. It...
Hi john ;Just wondering :: if the freepower is stalled with the gas producer at full power wouldent there be quite a pressure increase in p3 pressures and...
Heres a run from the van starting n1 near 100% n2 0%. We had trouble holding the brakes over 90% so we didn’t get the cleanest of pulls but look at all that...
Chris - I may take you up on the prototype, if you are serious....... My biggest problem is finding a driver for that wild kart........... Mike ... From: Chris...
Hi Jesse Long time no hear ............how you been keeping.................what have you been up to ??? Your Jetspecs creation is still saving me heaps of...
Hi Marshall There can be some increase , I guess it'll depend on how things are setup and the parts used . Any increased backpressure will most likely be...
Hi Jesse   Wow that is really neat! i like the fact that there is no requirement to make&break the circuit in order to draw spark (ie; points&condenser) or...
the compressor blades of my turbocharger does not move if the air is inserted via vaccum cleaner from the air inlet.It's because the inducer is 2 inches with...
Hi Abishek  I have had similar issues  -make sure nothing is obstructing the gas path/ foreign objects in the cold/hot scrolls (John Wallis has told me he...
Hi everyone! So today I over temp'd my engine by almost 200 degrees Celcius. A hot section inspection revealed no visual abnormalities post occurence The over...
You lost your tietary air to cool down the burning gasses !! There was still enough pressure to keep the flame going though . Don't use rubber hoses around...
Hi Bill If theres a large amount of "bleed air " ( large leak) then theres an inbalance between the mass flow being compressed and the mass flow producing the...
Marshall- Â I will certainly remove and replace the delivery tube section with a safer material, metal. i guess using the short bits like John mentioned to...
Hi Bill Yeh , things happen quickly with our turbines , thats why its important to have good gauges and as many safety interlocks as possible to minimise the...
You may need to put in a redux in front of that CVT, they are usually designed to only withstand 5-6k rpm. Get some more info on what engine it wants to bolt...
I guess that's my next question - I am looking for a cvt that is capable of handling that high rpm... anyone know of one? what are the old 2 stroke snow...
Hi James 12,000 rpm is pretty slow for a turbine , I'd suggest going to ~20,000 rpm with a racing kart centrif clutch and normal racing chain and a standard...
Hi James  Yeh, John gave me lots of solid information on the world of power turbine setups...they seemed real complex to me for DIY units, but they arent ...
Hi John  Im having a big dilema right now and its not diy gt related......i just find you are so highly intelligent and knowledgeable, and so are others in...
things came up I need the funds... I will drive to the junction at 401 & 400 to meet with you... s300V turbocharger variable geometry nozzles fully rebuilt,...
Hi bill :Don't you know anyone else with the same car ??? you could just " borrow " his convertr to do the test and then switch back after . Or you could go...
Most two strokes now have their powerband at around 9000 rpm give or take a fiew hun . some of the really older were up around 14000 but most of them had...
my turbine welds were leak free......and i did lots...... Â i planned on taking the whole exhaust off, and setting it on a bench, because welding the sides...
I am enjoying these recent threads on power turbines or turning turbo jets into two shaft gas turbines. The move to rotational power out is a challenging next...
