Let me understand...this is what is used to star large commercial airliner engines? I remember flying on a 707 in 1960, and the engine startup sounded much different then than does now.
@ROCKSTARCRANE This starter is smaller and less powerful than the ones used to start the big guys. It makes about half the torque of our radial inflow turbine starter... the one we use to start the J79. The civilian J79 was called the CJ805, and some early 707s did use that engine.
Take a look at some of my engine test videos for J79 or LM1500, and see if you recognize that sound...
@docbipe The dyno uses hi temp waterproof grease, and the bearing normally used in the aircraft gearbox, in which the shaft turned by the starter turns, has been replaced here with a sealed industrial ball bearing.
Another excellent and interesting vid. The quality of your vids are improving and near broadcast quality as far as im concerned. The hat cam worked out really well. Is there going to be any updates on the huge Orenda? Cheers.
@matube73 The Orenda Iroquois is safe and dry. We are in the process of creating an organization under which it can be brought to life with volunteer labour. How would you feel about reconditioning some of its parts ?
Well 3000+ RPM after Gear reduction wow so how much Torque do you get at that RPM rang on a air turbine starters + what the life span of a air turbine starters 100+ HRS or lower before it has to have a rebuild I Got say man you got a Cool J.O.B
@ISUZU1987 285 ft-lbs at 0 rpm, falling to 16 ft-lbs at 3000 rpm output speed, at which point the jet engine can accelerate without starter assistance.

I like the head cam shot, cameras are fun to experiment with, check out GoPro, they have sweet water proof mini HD cams for sports and such

@JetAce08 I looked at gopro, but didn't want that bulky thing on my head. So I went for a VIO POV HD.
I recommend it.

Nice sound when that thing starts up. What's the max rpm your laser tach can reach?
