I emailed them a while back now Andy and heard now't back. It may be worth a few of us mailing them in an attempt to get their notice ? It's a very good site...
thanks jim i will give them a call in the week all the best andy g ... From: Jim Burrill (UK) To: DIYGasTurbines@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, April 01, 2006...
Thanks for everyones help on this. With a change in design I should have the CC finished in a couple of weeks. ... system which mean less thrust (power) output...
... You could use a argon flow meter the type used on tig welding sets this would give you a flow reading in leters per min In DIYGasTurbines@yahoogroups.com,...
Ok, well here is the story. I have had my CC almost finished since January but then with a combination of school and work it has been put on the back burner....
Hi Ran engine today with original cc 30 psi boost 560 deg c egt sweet. Then noticed a slight vibration and drop in oil pressure. On examination loads of play...
The question is what went bad first, the bearings, or the turbine wheel which is burned up pretty badly. I ask because you could have sustained the damage...
--Hi Russ Temp measured with a digital probe 60 mill downstream of turbine did not exede 600 deg That said when i ran with the larger cc i did get fuel pooling...
Hi John Have the mice have been nibbling your turbine wheel ? It sounds like your overpressure excursion might have done some damage , though I'm not too...
Hi John, I have to ask what your temperature probe is connected to, as simply connecting them to a regular voltmeter will not yield accurate results. Is it an...
You'd need something that is able to indicate more flow than an argon flowmeter. Also, those things normally incorporate a regulator, supplying 90 or so psi....
That would work rick. I was just curious if there was a instant visual gauge that someone could look at and see the flow rate. The scale would work but would...
Hi Devin, I think maybe you are looking for something similar to Ebay item # 7546882727 I am not sure what the flow rate is of that part or how suitable it is,...
- Hi John I think you are correct the mice have had a go at my turbine wheel. All my problems started when i built a new cc to fit the unit in to a kart . The...
If the brass is stuck to the turbine end of the shaft, and the turbine wheel is toasted, I'd suspect that you had a serious heat problem. Any possibility that...
Now that you mention it I wired up some flow meters for on a manifold I made last summer at work. It was one of those things I had so many things needing to...
Except that the flow of vapor required is way above any argon flow meter I have seen. Fred ... From: JOHN MILLS To: DIYGasTurbines@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
Theres been alot of talk here about sensors and probes, which I dont have a problem with, I have an excellent Keyence sensor, very fast. I have used an...
I did some CC tests yesterday with the appliance of the Leaf Blower, ignition then fuel pump. It seems to work ok. I had no way of controlling the flow rate...
I am kind of confused as to what you are talking about. I have an idea but if you had a picture it would make it even better. Since it sounds like someone...
I bought this Devin and it turned out to be a bit of a crock. I have re-designed the CC and was reporting on the speed controller. Look back through the posts...
Ok, Jim I remember when you bought that (i think). If I remember correct that was a few months back not. That is to bad the speed controller does not work as...
Hi John, I am using the BS2P Basic Stamp microcontroller from http://www.parallax.com to get the job done. I then have the output going to a touchscreen LCD...
Just thought I would let everyone know who is interested, I put up another update on the jet/kart project. We have made our first run with the engine as well....
