I am wondering if i can run all my engine sub systems using a lap top computer? i got my own lap top for christmas. if not then the easist cheapest way I know...
Hi, My familiarity is mainly with Atmel's AVR series, although I've never done a project on one without collaborators. Any of these little microcontrollers ...
If you can program a computer I would favour using a laptop and interface through the parallel port which is what I hope to do as a future project. Any of the...
i got my turbine running smoothly for the first time today, its a large holset turbo, im using kerosine, the flame tube is 10 inches long, 2.5 inches diameter,...
Glad to hear you got it running. You will notice a loss in performance whenever you have a boost leak, shouldn't effect the temp of the turbine too much,...
Only trouble I've had with using a computer, laptop or otherwise, as a controller for something like this is that most personal computers are only able to...
Another way to use liquid fuels other than high pressure atomizing systems, is to use an evaporator system. This can be set up fairly easy. The most common...
I suspect strongly that the fuel that is leaking out of the combustion chamber got there during the start-up process and leaks out until it runs dry. This...
hi ,do you have a pipe on the turbine outlet to act as a jet pipe and is it taperd? or is it just open ? if it is open or the jet pipe does not restrict the...
I was originally thinking of using a computer just for monitoring purposes, using feedback to control operation is another ball game altogether where you're...
I am thinking of making a simplified carburetor for a turbine that works off of air from the turbo that is pumped into the combustor chamber. I am still...
Or resets, if the software is designed to respond gracefully to a hardware reset (like saving critical state data to an NVRAM periodically) and come back up...
There isn't a carburetor on a typical GT. The fuel is injected under pressure into the combustion chamber/flame tube and is sprayed right into the flame from...
The controller should not be a laptop! Well if your using a DOS based software it could do. To day there is microcontrollers running at 40MHz or more. But even...
Yes, I agree, 1GHz is a bit overkill but just about the bottom end for a cheap laptop these days! ;o) You could even probably get away with less than 4Mhz if...
Thanks Sal. Im looking into the remote filter heads for the cart as we speak. I found a fuel filter off a car engine and am currently debating whether to try...
Hi, Yes, you'd certainly be using the laptop as a display and control device, not to perform moment to moment corrections. But if you own the machine, it's...
You could actually use a frequency/voltage converter circuit and sample the tach through an ADC input (which most embedded controller chips have a few of). 8...
... he ... though - ... I am currently using a diesel fuel filter for oil on my GT. the filter heads are easy to obtain second hand and the elements are cheap....
Hi All, I'm selling my Jeep. 83 CJ7. 350 Chevy, TH400, 9 inch Ford rear. This thing is tough as nails and it's fast. It handles great for a Jeep too. Many cool...
Well I bought my turbo a few months back (September) and it spun free and was all ready to go. So I cleaned it up and put it on the shelf while I went on to...
I am planning to build my own Gas Turbine for the first time and needed to ask a few qestions. Firstly, If I have the fuel injector coming in through the side...
I'm working on a project for my Rolls Royce Nimbus MK 105 ... From: DIYGasTurbines@yahoogroups.com [mailto:DIYGasTurbines@yahoogroups.com]On Behalf Of Matt ...
I've looked into general purpose PC interfaces ( E.g. PICO ) for logging environmental data but disappointedly found they are expensive with limited...
You need to have a look at the rule of thumbs in the files section. This will give you more knowledge on how a GT works. This in turn will answer most of your...
What did you use to clean it up with? If it was a parts cleaner or something similar, this should be good, but you should not store it in a damp location...
