Hey everyone, thanks for the add!! My name is Justin and I am REALLY interested in constructing my own jet turbine! I know most of what I need to know to...
Hi all, Just wanting to introduce myself and explain what I am trying to do and why. I'm located in Brisbane Australia, am a little over 30 years of age and...
I finally got a turbo in my hands, however, there were no oil adapters sent with it. Any ideas where to look? Contacting the original seller isn't an option...
go there the is a lot of answer and first read the rules of thumbs eddy i am newbie to http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/DIYGasTurbines/ ... De : SI REading...
Hi Justin, The turbine has a mechanical advantage ( about 2:1 ) over the compressor not the other way round! ;o) Whatever pressure the compressor provides,...
Hi Si, Welcome to the group. Just post your questions here for all to have a chance to comment/make suggestions. I also suggest creating an album in the Photo...
Hi Justin. The plumes of smoke you speak of can be caused by a number of things. Afterburners not ingiting causing the AB fuel to be 'smoked' by the heat from...
ya, sorry, i meant to say that the turbine has mechanical advantage, i was just thinking backward...so if it has an advantage of 2:1 does that imply that the...
ok, that makes scenes! i have also seen them do that with the real jet funny cars at the drag strip... but i saw several videos of this on youtube as well...
Yeah, the jet dragsters do it as well but they do it on purpose to create the smoke screen effect for the punters - the kart does it when it feels like it :o)...
Matt, removing the housing can be a daunting task and you can see most of the blade without removing the housing.With age and constant cylcles of heat/cold of...
according to the st-50 manual, one pushes the center housing out of the exhaust housing with a constant pressure on the shaft with and arbor or so whilst...
Hi Justin, The pressure coming out of the compressor is the highest pressure in the engine. The combustion process doesn't raise the pressure, rather it...
I think I'm getting close to sorting out the operational problems with my T03 with the small combustor so I was trying to lay out my next project. I put the...
I am trying to define why the combustion always goes out the turbine side ...could I think of it like this, let me know if I am way off: the air being brought...
Hi Chris - am in Drewvale, moved up from Tassie a couple of years ago. Where about you ? This is an awesome site you guys have here. Cheers Si. ... From:...
Thanks Sal, I might actually try and post some pics in an album, that way I can ask questions and refer to pics... I was not sure of the how the water...
Hi Si, For a temperature gauge you'll need something like a thermocouple to handle the high gas temperatures. The signal from these need further processing so...
I would explane that like this, Objects in motion tend to stay in motion, that said when you are starting the engine the air mass is set in motion in one...
Hi Justin, I'm no expert ( I'm still struggling with the thermodynamics aspects of it all.. ;o) ), but the piston analogy to my mind seems about right. Two...
Hello Si The ignition coil and flasher relay will work but you will get a far better effect with just using 2 simple relays and a capacitor. Extremely...
WE will expect a full performance report on the T03 soon Mike. Because you will do it properly - and make us realise how inefficient our "suck it and see"...
Another from Brisbane, Yes Nobody on this site has qualified for a Darwin yet and we want to keep that record intact. Play smart Play careful Play safe Jim ......
Hi again, I could not get any of those links to work. When you say 2 relays - do you mean 2 simple auto type ? relays, and what size capacitor ? as before -...
Also, I had another question...when building the combustion chamber...does it matter on which end you put your air intake? (top or bottom) I would assume top...
Jim - I appreciate your vote of confidence, but my "try everything method" has taken 18 months and 26 tests on different configurations. But I will give a full...
