ST50 homebuilt gas turbine, jet engine

[allseriousness]

OMG this is the most powerful, Most badass thing I have seen. YOU NEED TO MOUNT THIS ON SOMETHING PLEASE!

[paulindawsoncr]

would the geet gas burn in it?

[Bagadaboats]

so u bacically used a blower to start the engine

[thegoosebrain]

My vacuum cleaner in reverse can put out more rpm that this.

[memadmax69]

Nicely done, good work.

[stimps90]

Sooo neat!

[doubleboost]

very nice clean and tidy not pissing oil out and glowing red

[thelucky0239]

very well done!

[jim671671]

Very impressive and NEATLY engineered! Well done mate!

[Smokie181]

i love the sound of turbine engines.

[jjm0580]

If you put a drive shaft and gearbox out the front, you could sell it to the micro helicopter crowd.

[viscon2011]

how many pounds of thrust do business jet engines produce normally?

[Zvesda]

@viscon2011

A couple tons or more.

[viscon2011]

@Zvesda yikes that's insane! it is possible to build one of those private jet engines? I have a bunch of metal scraps in the backyard.

[bait28]

@viscon2011 58,000 +

[stimps90]

That looks very smart!!

[LEDSETdotCOM]

Beautiful system you've created, love it!

[knifemakejake]

i want that on my bike

[venomousbird]

How would you go about connecting this to obtain mechanical power and not just thrust. I am also wondering if you could use this to produce electricity somehow.

[martiniceify]

@venomousbird ofcoarse you can use it to produce electricity, the APU in every modern aircraft does that.

And you can also use it to produce mechanical power, look at all the turbo props on all modern propeller aircraft

[routhoula]

i have an idea! turboprop boat engine!

[kennykiller911]

Build a Ramjet

[ryancartwright514]

haft the way threw the thing was going to take off :)

[xoxshootinstarxox]

Play this backwards and ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD.

[dmok420]

why didnt it pop the second time?

[SirVladDracula]

This has to be the most professionally built DIY jet-engine on Youtube. At least, the most professional-looking jet engine I've seen on Youtube.

If you attached PTO to this thing and powered an electric generator; it would make an awesome... Generator!

[shades2]

How to annoy the neighbours. :)

[scrapcrapMandM]

are you using j-5 jet fuel-

kerosene

[tjampe]

nice engine you got there! i've wanna bult a turbocharger Jet Engine too!

[89stab]

thats kool but my homemade nuclear reactor is better.

[digitalbroadcaster]

@89stab Hahaha...nutter! :oD

[cgod241]

why doesnt it move?? is it bolted to the floor??

[snakev10v5]

try making one of these with 2 turbochargers in the front 8)

[blackrockgroup]

How do you build one of thoes turbans i want one formy lambretta

[mister6sir]

hey, stick ur finger in there

[AdolphX]

a little faster and that thing was ready to time trivel, lol no jk but that was really impresive

[akkudakkupl]

What you need there is a alternator/startup motor with an gearbox. You wont have to use that blower.

[likesto1963]

How much thrust does it make? I see normally it produces only 32 psi. which is not very much. It's neat but not very functional.

[ElliotScoots14]

I was going to ask could it fly away and i saw it move farr out thats powerful!

[thebmr321]

the way you started it and and how it started reminded me of a pulse jet!

[74torana]

Do you have any idea how much stuff im going to break/set on fire trying to make one of these when I get home from work? You really should think about the consequences before you post videos of stuff this awesome.

[richardarichter123]

so sweet

[MarcioBortolotto]

Can you make a "Jet Go Kart" with this!? haha

[delirante22]

That's a nice way to wake up your neighbors ..mmm let's say on a Sunday around 6.30 AM lol!

[blackend00]

reaaly good job like it a lot's i love it ....but mate can you tell me whay when using a car turbo to make a jet engine needs oile !! and the ather jet engine the small one or the one that you by it don't need oil hoo o_0 !!dose it ..please help because i'm gona make my first jet engine and it's realy simple tomorow and i want to now exactly what to use and thx a lot for the help

[toranamunter]

beautiful engine!!! nice one

[aersixb9]

Also instead of pushing the air with a turbine/fan combo, try putting a cog-wheel (gear wheel) where the fan blades would be, connect a chain to a transmission and a clutch, and it should be pretty fast and rev up in between the straits.

[aersixb9]

Does this motor run on gasoline but spins like a turbine, or is it a jet fuel motor that also spins like a jet turbine? I think the patent on turbines is held and not sold or something, b/c they seem to be more powerful and fuel efficient than 2 or 4 stroke....also I think 4-stroke is the only legal one for road use, and the patent is held by a corp and sold to a few only.

[jordyboy321]

HOLY FUCK...that's gotta be the coolest thing ive ever seen

[richie0o1]

what if i mounted that thing on my bike???

[TotenKopf42]

Very impressed with your work. Wanted to ask few questions:

1. How much this project cost (building it from zero)?

2. How exactly did you knew proper pressure and temp values?

3. How did you managed to apply those values, so your engine simply would not either explode or get it's blades burned out? (I mean how to control pressure and temps?)

4. What are internal blades and exhaust tube made of?

5. You said something about switching fuel to kerosine - what would that do - more RPM with more temp?

[urabus040]

Thats a super nice rig its on, I wanna make one so bad! I got the brains and the ability i just need CASH MONEY!! lol Good job bro!!

[aardvark445]

It sounds perfect. I hope you get paid for that kind of work!

[ChiefLinesider07]

What do you do for work?

[TABAGfrancis]

Please watch:

World's Greatest Amount of Compression Ratio Engine

[g60scuzz]

Superior design, thanks for sharing all the photobucket pictures, I really enjoyed looking through them.

[JohnxWaynexGacy]

Big ups to you my man. This is a perfect design. Your understanding of blowing hot air is pretty superior. I can tig weld stainless as well as you can. Maybe I will sign up for a prototyping class at a community college. I could use access to some machinery. I need to build build a couple blowers with as much thrust as I can get. I think someone at some point or another proved that you can have a good time with 2 jets.

[bboynaki]

how is your T3 > T4?

[bkzabit]

1:23 man....it almost flew up :D

exellen jet dude ;)

[hubzcaps]

ude you gotta mount that in your truck

TURBO BOOOOST!!!!

[spike2fei]

dode i like your turbine i was doing one but i had to live the project but now that i see your i want to restart a new project ^_^

[sking0369]

Very impressed with your weilding and machining capabilities.

[jdos2]

The gas generator works fantastically! Nice clean design! Now... What to do with all that hot exhaust! Any plans?

[DarkMew1337]

lol 0:16 it fartet :D

[Ryan130376]

Did you ever put it on a dolly, hook it up to a fishing scale to figure out the thrust?

[GeorgeC2009]

Did you use CNC to make it?

[paronfisk]

How many rpm is that?

[Taaplari]

paronfisk

[mongoosecage]

this has gotta be the turbocharger for my car.

[richardarichter123]

real nice stuff

[cbowren69]

hey mate just wondering what the chances would be of you drawing up some plans for this as I would really like to build one as I am currently studying to be an aircraft mainenance engineer and would really like to build one as a display sort of thing. any help would be really appreciated. Thank you

[n4120p]

You are a self taught individual ,and you know what u are doing,, great job.

[mikak3607]

finally a jet engine on youtube that works !!

[aaron2414]

that's the cleanest build I have seen yet! Very well done!

[Newtsed]

you shoult try to install an air filter or something, and you should hury up up with that oil...

[the1thatgotirwin]

Make another turbine and a cockpit and go race on tatooine

[MaxxFordham]

Whow, pretty cool! I looked at the still pics, but still, I don't see any that show how you actually made the parts for yourself. How do you make your own parts?

[spid135]

Its look like a cannon

[1ukjunglednbraver]

thats fuckin ace..i woukld have that mounted on a cart stright away..people would pay to see that at a car show

[wangf004]

can u make this a vacuum??????

[fillopygeesi]

What controls the throtle how much fuel you let in?

[skyferret1]

That's an impressive unit you have built.

Most back yard builders rig up one single flame can feeding the pipe on the hot side, but after looking at the pics on photobucket I see you have built a complete annulus combustion chamber. At first, I was looking for an extended shaft, but with this design, no need.

Maybe some day you'll build something as big as a PT 6.

[Narutz09]

could you tell me what the material of the nozzle?? I hope your answer!!!!!!!!!

[Bamchucknorris]

1:22 WO THERE TIGER

[superfunnyman123]

so when making this engine did you have to extend the shaft for the turbine to make room for the combustion chamber?

[MJVeach]

You mentioned that you were going to set this turbine up for Diesel. How did it go? Did you run into any problems with overheating? Also, did you use evaporator tubes or the high-pressure injectors? Did you have to do anything to your hole pattern to keep the flame mostly confined to the "primary zone" in your flame tube?

[scrfce123]

I have to say that this is the most beautifully presented engine of its type. Very well thought up design and nice assembly work to boot. Does it develop any usable thrust? Also, I noticed that the jet pipe passes thru the CC?  Do you utilize some kind air bypass from the compressor to cool it?

[WICKEDSLAYER777]

Why cant you just put that thing on a sport's car, insted of fucking showing off

[psymansays]

Oh, crap, that sounds like it's going to explode, at the highest RPM's

[matteskes]

This has to be the cleanest home brew build I've ever seen. Beautiful work, man. Very Nice.

[vPanya]

wat is that power sander looking thing for?

[Freeflyer91]

@vPanya Air blower - to start the engine spinning before it can become self sustaining.

[john1966elliott]

Your turbine engine can fly , Huh??? : ) Lol

[TheGimpMaster01]

wow this is super cool, especially considering it was homebuilt. what engine is the ST50 turbocharger fit on? is it possible to create a turbofan this small or are most engines of this type, for instance those fitted on remote-controlled airplanes, like this one you've built?

[TheZanahorias1]

Freaking epic.

[jaws99099]

LOL I love at 1:24 the whole thing starts to move and he has to kill it!!

[menglis5]

can i put this on my blaster atv

[BLOODYCLQ]

my father was intelligent men, he used to spend his time for staff like in this video, me and mom always scared from his toys, one day he brought home big old factory heating machine big like a truck, we don't know what he did but he exploded the garage and half of the house, my father stack in hospital a few weeks burned his hands and face, he said he was tuning up the machine, since then i don't go close to the items like this,

[MTran0708]

this turbine sure is clean

[hellsmaw84]

i would put an intake guard on the front to keep bugs and other debris out of it and ruin your jet. beautiful though!

[211Alucard]

if you put your engine in a plane will it fly or is your engine for show.

[123sassybaby]

hey i'm trying to make one of those, i know the front is a regular turbo, but what's at the back. i really dig your design. i'm trying to make one myself.

[turbomecajetman]

I want to compliment you on a fine job and it is a top notch desing using a traditional turbocharger. Keep me up to dates with your upgrades, A+++

[hootergirlsrhot]

i love the sound of a turbocharger in the morning

[lucasjibhi]

totally awesome dude, but you mayby should bolt it down next time. hah how is that for an awesome leafblower:)

[TheMasterJ1995]

Your jetpipe pressure is always 4.5 psi. Why??

[stevenc08]

i keep coming back to this vid. this is the turbine to beat.

[omgwtf539]

hay do you thank you can send me the directions on how to build one?

[decoysk]

very nice ! how much thrust?

[krbruner]

Am I missing something in the design? I know most turbochargers are radial-radial design, but it looks like you completely built the turbine section as an axial design. I assume the cylinder behind the compressor contains the combustion chamber/turbine and I do not see how a turbo exh-half could fit in that cylinder. Did you take the housing off the exh-half turbine and built a housing so that the exhaust gasses flowed around the turbine from all sides "axially"?

Very well done!!!

[mustangpapi76]

one of the nicest home built I seen so far. nice job.

[TheMasterJ1995]

What do I need to build the same turbine as you

Please answer!!!

[coldriderF4]

@TheMasterJ1995 An ST50 turbocharger, and plenty of patience. I included more info in the 'more info' section for this video and have a link embedded to some build pics. Other than that, would suggest doing a search for DIY Gas Turbines in Yahoo Groups. Tons of info, pics, and lots of enthusiasts on the site. good luck.

[mianistiv]

@coldriderF4 ,please take a moment to reply on my question,how strong is this turbine?,,just for example if you put that turbine on man`s back,could that turbine lift him up?..thank you..

[coldriderF4]

@mianistiv , If you put this on my back, I might fall over :-). The total thrust I was able to measure was approx 60lbs, which wouldnt even be enough to lift itself off of the ground. Although if connected to an afterburner or gearbox assy on a kart, it'd make for a fun ride.

[mianistiv]

@coldriderF4 khm..thank you for answer...But is it possible to make gas turbine,,small like keyboard and powerfull like this one?just curious..=)thank you for youre time.

[mianistiv]

@mianistiv @coldriderF4 just in case,i wasn`t meaning flat like keyboard..=)

[bustkill]

@coldriderF4 or to a continuous track over that gearbox to make a M1A1 miniature XD

[CrazyForCooCooPuffs]

@coldriderF4 make it a turboshaft

[andy1855]

@mianistiv i have to say one of the best questions ever

[superskullmaster]

@mianistiv the reason he didn't answer your question is because its retarded. That engine wouldn't even lift a dog. By the inlet size you could estimate 60lb thrust max, if you add an afterburner maybe 100lb.

[PeterTenev]

ho much is the thrust ?

in KG please

[freezinteen]

@PeterTenev Ive seen you ask a lot of questions on almost every video about jet engines.

Go to google and seacrh for Jet Cat

They make jet engines, and have all the information you need.

[TurbineJesse]

Just convert the 60lbs stated in the video description to KG. You don't need to ask people to do it for you.

[blad65]

that looks like a turbo chager

[mrmeanr]

it is...

[canitovega]

all it needs is a sit on top of it and you will have a hell of a ride :D

[Mike20151]

i like 1:23

oh that engine wants to go

[isethaitchison]

How much thrust does it produce?

[GHSTENORBOY]

hook up a venom nitro kit to that bitch haha

[scozzahisee]

How much did this cost to make?

[BackWithTheBoom]

say bye bye to the turbine, one little more open the crane and....

[yamabob776]

through some wings on that thing

[Manbinichgutmensch]

good job!

have it an axial-turbine?

[H8ISGR8]

better bolt that bitch down to something, else it's going to go flying into something...

[wowprotips]

thats littrerly a plane engine

[getoffmyinternet]

As opposed to metaphorically?

[jjearl111]

worlds most powerfull reaf blower

[thore022]

i want one

[jvn1111]

sound good

[FritzMann1913]

Hmmm... It cant produce very much power!, if it would then it would not stay in one place on the ground, if it was powerful it would slide on the ground wouldnt it??

Just a thought...

[paulwisdom2008]

@FritzMann1913 I can tell you didnt watch it all the way through. Watch from 1:20 on.

[FritzMann1913]

@paulwisdom2008

? Sorry but I cant see any movment? What I am trying to say is that I think it just makes noise and little power! a 1hp piston engine would have made moving force that this machine.

The machine is probably very nice built and all but I cant see the use of it?

[fritz509mia]

for fun..

[FritzMann1913]

Yes I can bye that! I was at my friends hous and started his and It makes a lot of noise but little thrust...

[paulwisdom2008]

@FritzMann1913 FFS, watch from 1:20 on like i said! The bloody thing slides along the floor!

Remember how much weight is there it wont move easy. Stick it on something with wheels and it'd move pretty damn well!

[jd10t]

It would have slided along the ground but the operator throttled back to stop it from doing so. You must have not seen these things in action, someone else who built on of these and he put on a vehicle and got 50pmh out of it!

[FritzMann1913]

I know that it moves but the power is not much! I if you loo how much fuel it takes and how much work it can do its propably one of the least effective machines ever. BUT I still think its a cool machine...

[paramandans]

Yep I just looked at your pics...very nice job.

[rainerfilm]

5 star, so tell me, what is the thrust and max combustion pressure? I am building one.

[draggo70]

REAL TIDY JOB, WELL DONE.

[citydriver]

best looking home made jet engine ive seen so far very nice

[dogg502]

WOW your pretty smart huh!!!

[mycatwilatackyou]

wow awesome design . Its great !! 5*****s

[cky4980]

now cars should not use nitro instead they should gas turbine for car racing.

[freezinteen]

Yeah certainly is best on YouTube. So the air flowing out of the turbo goes into it, out the chute on the side, then goes into the combustion chamber? Or is it a more linear structure where the air goes in the turbo then straight back

[freezinteen]

Wow only 28 psi? Pressure in a jet engine BEFORE it's ignited is like 400+ psi

[sk8ordie441]

keep in mind this is HOME BUILT

[nachalnik7777]

молодец.. хороший аппарат

[Xx69roadrunnerxX]

Thats so awesome!! I agree with

"SPB282008" that its the best designed turbine ive seen on youtube. Great work.

Diesel engines and turbine engines are my passion. Since diesels usually use massive turbos the connection was a no brainer. Though, I know way more about diesel engine than I do about turbines.

Can this turbine run on diesel fuel?

Thanks and again great stuff!

[JonDeth]

Do a search for electric ducted fan. Basically it's a really powerful electric fan in a turbine form. They use them on R.C. planes a lot but some companies build really high power ones that contend with the jet fuel powered.

Those are the ones with electric brushless motors.

Some could easily power a manned craft.

There are also AIR powered jet turbines.

Compressed air drives a paddle wheel, they hit 20,000 RPM's easy.

I think power requirements are what keep the fuel powered in wide use.

[JonDeth]

Wish I had the time and shop space to build something like this. The potential is so high especially since you can build a light weight vehicle and just slap this and a fuel tank on it.

Gotta check out the electric turbines floating around. Some of them get 60 lbs of thrust, sometimes more, and are the size of a large coffee can.

[slaphappyjacko]

That is SO fucking sick!

[JonDeth]

Just what do you intend to put this sucker on?

[dsjkak1]

He's going put it on his resume as his Pre-Req to MIT and, future position at Boeing.

[JonDeth]

lol, it's a leaf blower which serves as his starter!

[wharbio]

the original scroll is hidden inside this. its fake which is why we never see the output nozzle of the compressor scroll or the internals up the exaust.

[Andrei917]

Man!! Nice, 10! I was planning to built one, but with the original iron scroll.

[aberrari]

1:23, that thing almost launched, damn!

[Patrickofcoventry]

wow, it sounds like a boeing 777 great work,.

[Sterlin876]

you should mount that to some bricks or something

[frosty9595]

You need to put that on a gocart

[ahart5530]

damn, that would be one hell of a gokart

[diegop8706]

What is the A/R ratio?

Can you give me more information about your design?

[GearzVoNKod3]

really well engineered, 5/5

[cs512tr]

nice mante!

5/5 for your work!

[americaneagle791]

Thats really cool.
