Thanks for the input BJK, but I have a few more questions for you. First why run such heavy oil? Most people run lighter 10/30 or 10/40 oils, much less drag...
No oilcooler because I have plenty of oil around. That I donīt have to pay for so. And I dont need more running time then ~30 min. ... From: LeLynn Thanks for...
--Oil only starts to work properly when it gets up to a decent temperature ,to do a diesel emmision test you need a minimum of 70degC before you rev the...
Does the location of the inlet air matter on the combustion chamber? I noticed some people put it near the outlet of the CC and some put it opposite of the...
Is there any type of gasket material that anyone recommends for the combustion chamber (high temp, etc?), or any other part of the turbo set up? [Non-text...
Hi Michael If the delivery pipe from the compressor joins the combustor near the turbo, there is less chance that the incoming air will disturb combustion...
I'm a pyelut too! When I was in the firewood business my brother/uncle Earl would split the wood and I would pyelut up in the back of the truck. _____ From:...

I've stumbled across a turbofan engine made by MicroJet Engineering which can be seen here: http://www.microjeteng.com/fan_pics.html It's a real BEAUTY! I...
Ho Ashsz, You do have much of the operation benifits of a turbo fan done pat. The exhaust from the jet may be only 65lbs. However, it may be exiting at...
Thanks for the response! Took me a moment, but I understand your example about producing 65lbs of thrust from 6HP.... with only a 20- 30MPH air column, you...
Hi ashsz2, Note I said 6hp not 5. I was talking to Ivo from Ivo Prop a couple years ago on an experimental application using military genset engines for whom I...
This reminds me of the Wright brothers. Their mechanic was instrumental in getting their craft to fly by properly getting the pitch of the props to match the...
Chris - When you get that truck of yours finished you will be a pyelut ... Good Luck and may the new year keep everybody safe Jim ... brother/uncle Earl ... ...
What were you adjusting? the pressure or the pulse width to the injector? I was thinking about doing something like that with an injector, but as far as my...
I dont believe you can use a fuel injector in a GT application controlled by varying the duty cycle of the pulses. A GT is a continuous burn engine and...
Excellent information! So making changes to prop diameter and pitch with a fixed power input is much like "changing gears" on a single- speed gearbox. You...
Yes, it will work. Ours does. It or they, however, can not be the final nozzle for two reasons. They aren't designed to have flame right against them, and the...
Pulse width. Pressure is fixed at 120 psi. The big problem with using automotive EFI bits is their relatively low max pressures. 8 bar (116 psi) was the...

I believe that you have the prop issues understood. However, a personal helicopter is going to need more than 15mph air column speed due to the limited...
Finally found a pic and uploaded it to the gallery under "Turbo Tester". This one is an old pic & is not a great angle to see it from. Sitting on the tabletop...
