Wren Turbine Test Run

[flightcamm]

It's a gas turbine engine and therefore has a constant combustion cycle. The burners are vapourising and therefore need preheating with the butane before switching over to kero - just like the very early full-size jet engines did.

thanks for the info dude!

question:

if i modified the gas/fuel inlet to ... let say an automated injector with periodic valve system.. is it possible to maintain flight? or we must have constant firing?

what if the basic set of this engine being modified to double stage firing chamber? is it possible?

[molceonly]

what sort of fuel did you use to flight this thing?

[flightcamm]

Butane gas to start it with (you can hear the first and second engagment of the starter motor as the butane gas is ignited and warms the cumbustion chamber) and straight keroscene (jet fuel) for normal running.

what is the thrust on that think? like 1-5 LBS?

[davidowencoxon]

Not sure what the model number is but if it's the MW54 then the thrust will be around 6.4 kg at 160,000 rpm.

[molceonly]

by itself... with all body intact probably not that strong... just enough to lift off and fly

[davidowencoxon]

Like I said, it produces 6.4kg of thrust.

it varies from 30 50

you can see the fuel going low on the tank, first i thought it was just a picture and sound.

u can see the flowers move 2..
