Ingenious. It looks like the fuel is burned very completely. What kind of thrust does it generate?

Thanx!…I can’t take credit for the ideo though, there are plenty turbo geek like me out there. It does burn fairly efficiently when spooled up. The exhaust is fairly clean. Next step is to run on diesel or kerosene. It doesn’t generate much thrust in it’s current state. With a nozzle I would gues maybe six pounds. My next one should generate about 150 pounds with full afterburner, but it is a very large truck turbocharger.

oo great ! i think your jetengine its about 200 000 RPM because its a small turbo.
congrtulations!

As i understand it:

if the engine is sitting overnight and you fire it up in the morning… that’s a cold start.

if you are running the engine, shut it off… and then restart it soon after…

that’s a hot start.

and it seems that hot and cold starts have different characteristics.

Greg,

What I like …
Greg,

What I like about your video is the fact that you explain how the engine works, and, it helps that what you have put together does not seems too complicated.

The way you have laid it all out… it is conceivable that a viewer will understand the theory… enough to build one on their own.

After watching your video I feel as though I am going to start sourcing some used parts suppliers out there… just to see what I can find.

Thanks… to you and your team.
