Re: homemade jet engine

looks like they have a decent setup. Curious as to what fuel was used...i'm assuming propane

Make one dude...it's not too difficult. Hardest part is sustaining a flame. Constructing a proper combustion chamber.

Re: homemade jet engine

I've always wanted to build one of those, haven't seen one with a turbo that large before which is awesome.

Re: homemade jet engine

Instead of bolting your turbo to an engine, you build a combustion chamber than burns whatever fuel you make available, usually through the valve on your tank.

Re: homemade jet engine

jet engines operate on what's know as the Bernoulli Principle. To keep it simple you use a combination of the turbo and a convergent/divergent duct to control the velocity and pressure of the air. Its compressed, while maintaining velocity, slowed down, mixed with fuel and ignited, and then sped back up and "blown" onto the exhaust wheel of the turbo. They have essentially built a common aircraft APU ( auxiliary power unit). They don't make tons of thrust, but still flow alot of air. Really, it's just stupid loud and fun to play with.

Re: homemade jet engine

I went to school in ireland for a semester and we worked with a setup just like that in one of our thermodynamics labs.
