Rick, Yep, that is the one I'm considering using. The one in the engine now is one of the Hago wide angle hollow cone 11 gph nozzles. That is a great idea with...
Hi John, The reg was never intended to be a throttling device, I was hoping it would be "set and forget". What appears to be happening is that the needle valve...
hi chris the PSI will depend on the nozzle size but my swit will run up to 80,000 static RPM on kero ? but as I'm using closed return fuel set up with a needle...
Hi everyone I just thought I would let you know That I have just stripped painted and rebuilt the engine for the jet bike, while I had it in bits I ground off...
Hi JCP Ah yes, A/B supply , I can appreciate why you want to use the system you already have :-)) But using a common supply for both gas producer combustor and...
Jon, I'm using a setup similar to what John is describing, but am using a carbonator pump with a built-in adjustable regulator. The pump's regulator allows...
Hi John, Well, I finaly broke down and did some actual math on my fuel system. Fortunately one can analyze a fuel circuit just like you analyze an electrical...
Hi JCP What you could install is a " differential relief valve"( DRV) in conjunction with the needle valve , I have this setup on my bike . The DRV maintains...
Hi JCP I wouldn't be too concerned with the jet nozzle size just yet , your TIT is a touch higher than the groups recommended figure of 1450 F , but your...

I joined this forum out of curiosity for these turbines, and I have a couple of questions. Are you using the power from the turbine's shaft, the trust from the...
... The HP all depends on the size and efficiency of the parts. As for harnessing the power, I don't think/know if anyone has. The shaft is virtually...
QUOTES "Are you using the power from the turbine's shaft, the trust from the exhaust of the turbine or both?" "I don't know if anyone has used the exhaust to...
Hi, Yes, there are several people who have built shaft powered vehicles. John (racket motorman) has built a free power kart and free power bike. I have also...
Hello, I send a message on okt. the 6 to ask iff annyone coult tell my something abbout Russ Moore. He suppost to have computer and telephone problems. I...
Apparently I misunderstood the question. I was thinking using it to generate power or something. As for shaft powered anything, I was told it was virtually...
Perhaps instead of using the pronoun "it" we should start using the object we are intending "it" to refer to; this makes sentences clearer. For example, the...
I think the guy is thinking of using the turbine shaft to generate power of off (the one spinning at 60k rpm+). As an expample, attaching some sort of piece...
Hi Guys Gave "Fat Mumma" ( FM-1) another spin yesterday , took her up to ~35,000rpm ( ~ 50%N1,) at which point she was giving me a P2 of ~7psi with a TOT of...
Hello all. I am designing my evaporator tubes for my VT-50 turbo (3inch inducer). And after having read the starter files section over the evaporator file, I...
Hi John, Sounds like you're having a great time with that. I wish mine would come apart in 30 min :-). I will probably do a few more runs before I pull the...
Hi JCP A fellow turbine enthusiast has generously offered the professional balance job , very exact, in all planes and comes with a printout of everything . ...
Hi Grant The "trunk" will need to have a crossectional area the same as the sum of all the "branch's" crossectional area so that the required percentage of...
Sorry I disagree. The front page of this forum states READ THE STARTER PACK IT MAY ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS. In the starter pack are the calculations and...
Sorry, I missed the meaning of P2 and TOT ? Please catch me up. Thanks Ken _____ From: DIYGasTurbines@yahoogroups.com [mailto:DIYGasTurbines@yahoogroups.com] ...
Ken, P2 = Compressor discharge pressure TOT = Turbine Outlet Temp. - this is the temp after the turbine wheel has sucked out its share of energy. Matt ... ...
Mark and Nick, I did read the files but when it went into math formula, I stopped reading because I don't plan on building a turbine any time soon, I am just...
... You gotta admit you did put yourself right in the firing line by asking if the exhaust had been used for anything!. Anyone (like myself) who reads word for...
