Hi John, Unfortunately I can't measure my thrust output, I don't have the right tools / equipment to do that. (I can let the kart push against a scale, but...
thank you russ i will do my best eddy by the way can you give me back the adresse of your site for the gt and the stuff you saile thank s again ... De : Russ...
Hi Martin Bill sent me some sizes for the VT50 comp and it looks like you'd only be getting ~1100 ft/sec tip speed from your 5.05"-128mm comp at 50,000 rpm ,...
Hello I am a new member to your group. I have looked through some of the messages and the starter pack as well as some of the pictures and projects. The group...
Hi John Welcome aboard :-)) 22 foot is a decent sized "model" and will need a fair few Kilowatts of electrical energy to get moving , why not remove the...
Just a reminder- Tonight Friday July 4th and tomorrow night July 5th I'll be running my van at- http://brainerdracing.com.phtemp.com/directions.html The gates...
You are increaseing the cylinder pressure in turn producing more power ... From: DIYGasTurbines@yahoogroups.com [mailto:DIYGasTurbines@yahoogroups.com]On...
Kinda. Increasing compression ratio allows more efficient combustion; it also means a higher expansion ratio. Basically you're producing power from more of...
I learned this from John Force! http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=k-i2A1ltXoo I still have a lot to learn about controlling this monster. The new afterburner...
Good afternoon Piston engine theoretical power is calculated using the formula P*L*A*N*n Where P = Pressure (not static, dynamic or peak, but Mean Effective...
I didn't even know you were a member here. I stumbled over one of the videos of your van online a few weeks ago. Man that's gotta be a wild ride! Very kewl! If...
Where in GA? I live near Augusta _____ From: DIYGasTurbines@yahoogroups.com [mailto:DIYGasTurbines@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Eric Bass Sent: Saturday,...
Ah, I saw SC on one of the tracks so I figured you weren't far. I'm in Tifton. The tracks around here are 1/8 in Albany and Douglas, and the new 1/4 just below...
On Increasing compression ratio combustion takes place more efficiently due to which mean effective pressure(MEP) increased in the cyinder. For IC engine MEP...
Has anybody put a servo motor or other generator on a turbo turbine as a generator. This would be a direct coupled generator as a capstone microturbine? ...
Hello fellow builders!, im a new member here i been reading all about gas turbines for about 2 weeks straight now. I'm starting the order precess of my build....
So i pulled a Russ today (probablyu shouldn't say that given i am waiting on a tachometer from him...). But my engine caught on fire today. I started it up on...

Hi Grant My sympathies :-(( LOL.....Perhaps you needed that tach , it looks like you "threw a blade tip " and the resultant severe out of balance did the...
hello Grant! Im very sad to see your engines parts, it was such a very nice engine that you built, im happy that you didnt got hurt in any way except for the...
Oh man, sorry for the meltdown! What kind of turbo was that, a cummins? I didn't know they had aluminum center sections. I'm sort of glad my Garrett is iron...
Okay guys, I tore looked closer this morning and have to add some stuff. I forgot to say, that the whole center housing and compressor housing twisted so much...
Hi Grant With no FOD it sounds like you might have just had an unfortunate experience with your turbine wheel rather than a "failure" induced by your actions ....
Hi May I suggest you check the fuel flow requirements of your particular turbo before starting to buy bits , 20 gph is a very large turbo flow . Theres info in...
It's been a while. Make sure to see the Free-Power Turbine Kart in the latest (August 08) addition of Popular Mechanics. Should be on news stands mid July. ...
Thank you John! Stupid me I read over the fuel part of the starter packet being in mind I was going to use propane so I didn't read it real carefully, and it...
