@Cowcharge Well, the melting is inevitable, but it is possible to run the engine several times before that happens. There's one here on youtube, that ran like 5 times before melting down, but when it was running...it looked really awesome!
@Cowcharge What are you talking about? A soup can turbine wouldn't even get the plane off the ground, it doesn't produce any thrust. And even if it did, it wouldn't be enough to move a 500 ton airliner.
@19wael96 Haha, so fake. This is just a flame at the back while a blower, just out of frame right, blows the blade in the can. Sorry bub, I call shenanigans.
as a mechanical engineering major I could not even see how it got enough torque to sustain itself (let alone generate anything usable) until someone mentioned a fan off screen.
@edomalley1 Show me any engine that starts by just compression. Diesels have glow plugs, regular engines have spark plugs, and jets have a form of spark plugs called ignitors. None of them start by just compression alone. His is a REALLY simple rudimentary form of jet engine, and should not be downplayed by people like you.
@MrGermany18 I'll agree that an igniter is similar to a match, however combustion in a jet engine is sustained by compression, that compression being facilitated by expansion to atmospheric pressure through a turbine. Check out the Brayton Cycle. Glow plugs on a diesel are not used for ignition. They are used only for pre-heating the combustion chamber in cold conditions before you spin the engine. Many diesels are made without any glow plugs.
@edomalley1 Don't forget only a diesel uses compression ignition (which is really controlled by the injection pump), a petrol or gasoline engine uses spark ignition, my model jets use sparks, a sterling engine uses heat exchange, a steam engine uses pressure.
My jets have no compression when the spark ignites the gas to create a flame (something all heat engines need) but they can also be started by a flame, now i'm confused...
this is 2 rotors in a can, and a air compressor ( not in the videos frame ) blowing air through the can, so the blades will turn and the fuel in the back will do the "successful" effect !!!!
i don't give a fuck,how can those turbines that you can see through at that low rpm produce any compression of air it has no flame holders to sustain proper combustion as i said before you could probably turn the gas on and spin it without ignition and it would still windmill normal proper gas turbines usually self sustain at what rpm region and with what type of turbines come on guys think about the rpm those pitch turbine would be needed to truly self sustain.
If you came here thinking you were going to see a professional quality turbojet engine, then you deserved what you got. Obviously there's only so much you can do with a juice can and some sheet metal (probably from more juice cans)
The first great running video of a hand made turbo jet. Great job! I am working on mine as well. I hope that I can post some video as soon as posible.
How do you deliver the fuel into the combustion chamber in your engine model ? Are there simply was poured a little gasoline to can? Please, answer me. Your movie is very interesting.
you might fool some people but your not fooling me i can hear you blowing air inside the can to keep it turning this is fake, i tryed for years to get a real home built turnbine running and nothings as simple as your trying to make it look, theres no combustion chamber to start with to hold the pressure, and the blade wouldent withstand the heat of 650 degress, i used stanless and it melted the blades, it take exstensive machineing to make a turbine and a soup can wont buy it,
it really seems you used a motor and the video has pretty crappy quality. anyway, knowing how a jet engine is built i know that it's possible that your design worked in a "self sustaining" way
intake is from front of turbine, so it could be bursted into the xplosion chamber, theres egnishhsssss fuck that my english sucks but cool thang, i know how to make jet engine flame "BLUE FIRE!"
get crazy fan powerful as hairtryer then add tin can to the output so thats where the damn thing is going to blow the flame..
cut both ends of it, then put fuel line in, has to be gas not fuel...
propane os... light it up add litle power to ur fan like 3v then 6 it flame is still light up go high as 9.
I do understand this is an experiment, and if this video is real than here’s some advice, if its fake and a joke then jokes on me I guess. Listen, for an engine to run "the rite way" you need these basic things, an intake fan of some sort, normally a compressor but a fan is ok for now; and two, you need a combustion chamber, neutral guide vanes, then a turbine. You have the fan and turbine, but without the NGV there’s no way for the exhaust to turn the turbine effectively.
this looks like a lighter with a fan blowing on it. Only a big lighter, and a small, kidna strong fan. I see not jet turbine-ness, i see no small cale propulsion. Son, quite frankly, I am disappoint.
Very inspiring, and thought provoking I was somewhat clueless on the whole principle until I saw this. Oh, and consider the volume of air it was moving to eventually blow that bag from elsewhere in that large of a space.
its being blown by a leaf blower or something, for one this would not work as a gas turbine as there is no diffuser or stator on the compressor or turbine,
This is great. I started building my own jet engine about two weeks ago. I have two stages made. But next week, I will start on the combustion part. I'm still at a lost when it comes to fuel regulation and injecting it into the chamber.
I just made one with an electric 12v starter motor and it spins like crazy! Actually sounds like a full size 747 engine! at the moment it's still in development (no combustion chamber :c ) but I'm going to add one, and a conical exhaust for extra pressure. ;D
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
obviously an electric motor in there if it was a real gas turbine the fuel wouldn't be burning aft of the tailpipe,you can even see the wires for motor,this not self sustaining there aren't even any combustion chambers you'd have to be dumb to think this actually works.
@19wael96 yeah i thought that after I commented,but it seems more like the gas pressure is sustaining it rather than expansion of fuel and air most of the gas is burning out the rear,if you still have this contraption try turning on the gas without a flame to see if the gas is flow alone is turning the spool.
@SPLATYURFAICEINlol if so, what is the compression ratio generated by the compressor? can the combustion sustain the compressor? what is the thrust generated by the airflow from the compressor and that resulted from the combustion chamber? does it even have a combustion chamber?
a flame blown by a fan in a can does not a jet engine make my friend.
@trapingman explain to me how this is successful,please explain how the fuel is doing any work when it burning out the tailpipe,I explained that it's probably the gas pressure that keeps it turning rather than the gas compessing with oxygen and burning under high pressure when it doesn't have combustion chambers or flameholders,you can see straight through it how can this create compression,come on fuck wit.
@TheJimbo4123 as an aerospace engineer I disagree.. It's definitely a basic turbine. The thrust would be horrible because the geometry isn't optimized but the self sustaining principle is accurate.
Nice job ignore the few who can't give credit for great achievement due to their lack of personal success in their own experiments. It clearly sustains rpm's from initial hand spin by burning a fuel, THIS IS A JET. Lack of thrust does not exclude it from being a jet forget the haters keep up the good work check out my video of my initial build tests
Jet turbines are conceptually very simple; the misconception of complexity comes from the immense amount of engineering *added* to the basic design, such as this one (fantastic job by the way!), as to increase efficiency, lower weight, decrease size, decrease cost, etc.
so the flame heat makes the air having more volume and pushes it through the rear turbine that spins the comressor.. right??? i didnt know it was that easy to make the thing work....
its not a case of having a compressor, then fire, then turbine.
You need carefully designed diffusing stator after the compressor. and a combustion chamber
See, you need to compress the air so you can get lots of fuel to burn to give the gas lots of heat energy. You then need to harness this energy, as the gas will expand. you need to turn this pressure into velocity using a nozzle (one before the turbine in the form of turbine nozzle guide vanes) and one to increase the exhaust velocity.
If I was to say one thing, I would want it to be slightly more narrow at the back with the back turbine also smaller to fit so you get a higher pressure to drive more air in.
ha ha, I think this is the real kind of thing that I, as an ordinary person, can try to make at home. care to share the basic principles or design? thanks
Thrust isnt power, power is rate of work done with respect to time. Thrust is a force, and NOT kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is joules, thrust is newtons, lbs, or kg, depending on which you prefer. And torque off the shaft is in no way related to this, its a model. Torque isnt relevant in this case, as there is clearly no shaft load. No way to tell? If you cant tell thats not a jet engine, then you're obviously not an engineer. 'Suck, squeeze, bang, blow'. Thats a jet engine. Not this.
You've got the Civil Engineer's votes too! Well done! I may give this a shot in the next few days! I'm impressed! Have you done more work on it since this video? =)
@onetrickhorse that is a jet engine.... "suck, squeeze, bang, blow" is for an internal combustion piston engine (4 cycle) think before opening your mouth
This isn't working due to Brayton cycle... Infact I am willing to guess that the force imparted onto the 'turbine' is imparted from the velocity of the propane gas. Pretty cool though. At least it kind of sounds like a jet engine.
@scrfce123 well if that were true, than the propeller would eventually slow down, and i'm curious (this is a question for 19wael96) does the propeller continue to move, of does it slow down, because if it keep's going, than the blades would be propelled by the air inside the can expanding and exiting through the back, plus if you look at the speed that the flame is coming out the back, it probably wouldn't spin that fast.
@1000videosdeana I suggest you look up the Brayton cycle as without it, you can't have a jet engine. This engine here has no means to compress inlet air, so it doesn't meet the criteria.
but Friend, i ddnt got that in this ur experimental jiuce can jet engine, where is the fuel?? is it started on its own due to change in inner temperature of chamber? or do u have put a burning liqiud or some gas in it?? and i swa u strted turbine manualy by ur hand..:S im still puzzled, im inspired by this video im working on air freshner can as i told u before ;)
Very cool little engine you got there :-) Could you post a video when there is no wind?
Are you going to make a new one where more of the flame stays inside the burnercan. I think it would dramatically increase its power and efficiency. I’m not an expert, but I am really fascinated that you got that to work. I am going to try it out as well now, thanks for the inspiring video :-)
Sorry, but that is just flame trower.

Won't run without compressed air being shot into it.

Good attempt, don't get discouraged. You'll need a machine shop and a few precast parts to get one that runs.
They are not easy to build, very high precision is required, we are talking machining down to 0.0005" on certain parts.

I just used a model boat shaft the ones with threaded ends .
BTW it didnt work out for me from the first one i built
keep trying :)

ha ha, I think this is the real kind of thing that I, as an ordinary person, can try to make at home. care to share the basic principles or design? thanks

Thrust isnt power, power is rate of work done with respect to time. Thrust is a force, and NOT kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is joules, thrust is newtons, lbs, or kg, depending on which you prefer. And torque off the shaft is in no way related to this, its a model. Torque isnt relevant in this case, as there is clearly no shaft load. No way to tell? If you cant tell thats not a jet engine, then you're obviously not an engineer. 'Suck, squeeze, bang, blow'. Thats a jet engine. Not this.

OKAY .....
you think that i dont know these things ?
you watched a 50 second video and then judged me ?
dont you understand that this is experimental ?
this was an attempt to replicate a jet engine and see if it works .
and yes I am not an engineer but I aint no dummy
if you dont like my experiment then dont watch my video
thanks .

You've got the Civil Engineer's votes too! Well done! I may give this a shot in the next few days! I'm impressed! Have you done more work on it since this video? =)

@onetrickhorse did youn really have to write a bible to this video explaning that its not a jet engine?

@onetrickhorse that is a jet engine.... "suck, squeeze, bang, blow" is for an internal combustion piston engine (4 cycle) think before opening your mouth

Wondering how you started it up *0* look's scarry

The closer you can get the blades to the edges of the can the more efficient it will be also you don't have anything that even resembles a compressor

This isn't working due to Brayton cycle... Infact I am willing to guess that the force imparted onto the 'turbine' is imparted from the velocity of the propane gas. Pretty cool though. At least it kind of sounds like a jet engine.

@scrfce123 well if that were true, than the propeller would eventually slow down, and i'm curious (this is a question for 19wael96) does the propeller continue to move, of does it slow down, because if it keep's going, than the blades would be propelled by the air inside the can expanding and exiting through the back, plus if you look at the speed that the flame is coming out the back, it probably wouldn't spin that fast.

@1000videosdeana I suggest you look up the Brayton cycle as without it, you can't have a jet engine. This engine here has no means to compress inlet air, so it doesn't meet the criteria.

That is a beautiful hair dryer guys ! Cute but without any propulsion power.

but Friend, i ddnt got that in this ur experimental jiuce can jet engine, where is the fuel?? is it started on its own due to change in inner temperature of chamber? or do u have put a burning liqiud or some gas in it?? and i swa u strted turbine manualy by ur hand..:S im still puzzled, im inspired by this video im working on air freshner can as i told u before ;)
divinerayofhope 1 year ago
ok the fuel is natural gas or propane
and when i increase the gas pressure it pushes the turbine and starts
there is no liquid fuel involved here
just propane .
this engine runs just like the real one but its kinda inefficient and uses alot of gas
go to google and do a reasearch for jet engines
thank you for your comment .
any questions please send a message or comment .

Could you make a tutorial on how to build one of these? :) Its so cool!
Norredam 1 year ago
i will one day
but i have been very busy so i cant really make a jet now
but ill inform you if i will make a jet engine
thanks .

how do you secure the turbines to the inside of the engine, so far every vid like this ive come across that hasnt been explained

Very cool little engine you got there :-) Could you post a video when there is no wind?
Are you going to make a new one where more of the flame stays inside the burnercan. I think it would dramatically increase its power and efficiency. I’m not an expert, but I am really fascinated that you got that to work. I am going to try it out as well now, thanks for the inspiring video :-)

yes i thought of making another one since this one is not with me anymore
and make a higher quality video
thanks
