Hi, I my self have recently built a little valveless FWE pulse jet for fun. Would be a good one to use in a plane. Also go to www.pulse-jets.com and sign up to...
Hi, This is just a general email to all who would be interested in getting together and having a jet meet in australia I have lost some of the australia emails...
Hi John! Yes, you are right. All you NEW folks building these engines should read all the starter packs. It is easy to just say things and presume that, people...
See, that's just the problem. For me anyway. I did read the starter info and "TIT" is/was in NO WAY indicative of where the temp's location is. The whole unit...
Hi Ts Below are the relevant extracts from the Files Starter Pack T3 - temperature out of combustor, same as T I T. T I T - same as T3 , Turbine Inlet...
The chief difficulty is distinguishing btwn the "turbine" as the whole device and the "turbine" as the hot side of the device. Since "Turbine" is used to...
I have a brand new turbo. I ran the oil system for the first time @ 80 psi. I'm concerned about the lack of volume at the bearing discharge. It comes out more...
Greetings to all I'm a new member - have enjoied reading last few days of posts. Wish I had found the group a bit earlier. Could have saved myself a lot of...
"Turbine" in a technical sense is used to refer to the rotating part that extracts energy from the hot gas stream out of the combustor to drive the compressor....
It really doesn't matter whether it's proper useage or not. My point is that it happens, and THAT is the beginning of that confusion. By simply refering to it...
well we should also (just to be safe) ask you what type of pump you are running and its capabilities. Pressure is important, but not as much as flow rate. You...
It's fairly easy to make up real descriptive names and acronyms for stuff, however the folks that have been doing this a while might wonder what the heck you...
Is your oil supply line large enough to not cause a restriction? Ron ... From: norm8030 To: DIYGasTurbines@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, March 01, 2006 9:45...

Ok, I am going to replace the damaged compressor wheel on my turbo so I can get this project started. 1st, are the threads on the nut and shaft that hold the...
Well, after several weeks im finally to the point where I'm going to send in the propane and start this thing. I know a little bit about thermo from my...
... Just a wild guess: If the compressor turns clockwise (right) in the usual fashion when operating, the thread on the compressor shaft is probably a normal ...
What Ron means is that a "too small" oil supply line will restrict the flow before the turbo and cause the oil pressure at the pump to be higher than at the...
Congrats on starting your first turbine. A couple things to keep in mind.... Starting may be a bit difficult when the oil is cold, so if you pulse the oil a...
Generally, the threads will be opposite of the rotation of the compressor as stated above. Also, locktite is usually applied to the threads, so adding some...
Congratulations on arriving at this point. The first start is always a little nerve-wracking, especially so if this is your first engine. I'd suggest having a...
Hi Howard I think that oil flow should have been 0.35 gpm for a small turbo , even very large truck turbos only need 1-2 gpm. Just a thought :-)) Cheers John...
Hi Rob Check the bit of thread sticking out the front of the comp wheel for its threading direction , it doesn't matter which way the comp spins , the treading...
The person you are looking for is me, Im in ipswich, and biulding the jet powered scooter, but it wont be ready by the 11th. Im in the process of getting the...
