Inside a jet engine combustion chamber

[TheCaveman111]

That's some good shiz ! ;)

[dzdice]

Insanely awsome!

I know it's probabbly asking too much, but can you provide the chamber hole pattern?

The way you made the flame work ONLY inside that tiny hole is just... fabulous!

[hboy007]

Now that's one of the coolest engine videos I've ever seen!

[ChargedCMOS]

the sound it makes is cool

[sertox12345]

i think it a fake lol

[bamaslamma1003]

What are you using for fuel? That is awesome.

[jorgen180]

Looks like a live feed from hell .

[mcwolfus]

I saw a few months ago, a combustion chamber off a turboprop being fed with compressed air, and parrafin. I cant fing it now, any ideas anyone?

[weetnietgeen]

what was the rpm of this turbine?

[thecartel360]

So what happens if u put your hand in there?

[chris4uuk]

@thecartel360 it will burn...

[e081194eng]

Thats the "one way road to HELL" !!!

[Dystopiologist]

Well done!

[MrBS4]

My god.... did you design this thing all by yourself. To control the flame not touching the wall of combustion chamber is difficult. Any literature recommendation?

[turbinebuilder]

@MrBS4

yes, I designed the whole engine myself. I can't really recommend any literature. I mainly found the right design through trial and error (lots of it) before finding the right hole pattern in the flame tube.

[MrBS4]

@turbinebuilder

Oh dear.... I guess that is all I can said for the dearly quest to design a functional homebuilt gas turbine engine. Thanks for the info anyway. :)

[commando7144]

i like the dancing devil

[gynecolog1st]

so thats what hell looks like.

[jongkongmas]

like a washing machine from hell!!!

[slacker361]

with all the air it is amazing that they stay lit

[finalcitrus]

it's compressed air, thats why it can stay lit

[gummess]

Awsome vid. How did you film that ???

[turbinebuilder]

@gummess

I cut in a small port on the cool side of the the combustor. I then welded on a small flange that I could attach a 3/4" piece of pyrex glass. The pyrex is capable of high temps and pressures. I then stationed a camera just on the other side of the glass looking into the combustion chamber, from top down, as I started the engine.

[gummess]

@turbinebuilder Respect.... :-)

[vtwinmesa]

when i look from the back into my engine it also has yellow/orange flames , but shouldnt they be blue? also the smell isnt exactly what it should be.thnx

[pjwithbread8]

i think they arent blue because they might not have enough oxygen to burn as well inside until it reachs outside. im not a scientist just guessing here

[flyboy3633]

Cool.

So it's a converted turbocharger right ?

You should show an orientation shot to give us a clue what we're seeing and where.

[matn333]

awesome vid

[SparkamusPryme]

Seriously though, this is cool as hell.

[SparkamusPryme]

0:47 Sounds like the Kettle boiling. TEA TIME!

[hohohyhy]

how did you fix an opening into the chamber? did you use glass to protect? How much heat can the glass take?

[produKtNZ]

Almost sounds like a Pulse Jet at 0:31 :D

[enginecontrol32]

wow, thats like staring through a crack into hell......

[kylio85]

this is almost scary...

gr8!!!!

[frabelde]

f...ing impressive!!!

[cnasterodon]

Inferno!!!

[renesisrx8]

LMFAO!!!!!

[tropickman]

Mommyy!!!

[StvnBrkbck]

sounds like a teapot xD

[jayguy173]

is this how you blow dry your hair

[nguyentuan1990]

genius

[whatzupa]

wow homebuilt ???

What's the specs on the engine ?

Thanks for sharing this video, I was just wondering how what the flame would look like, looks like running lean helps keep the flame away from the core slightly.

[Userduder]

lol fly safe.

[rsvcivic]

sweet

[cujet]

What kind of engine? Very interesting!

[wog222]

wow you could cook food so fast with what.

[bait28]

lol

[therockeronner]

dont you have a flame tube with holes in it?

[airgunsniper]

Absolutely beautiful! That's so awesome. How did you get that footage?

[turbinebuilder]

The video was taken with a standard DV camera place on the other side of a pyrex glass window that I installed on the combustion chamber. Video is taken on the top of the chamber just behind the fuel nozzle.

[jazzmaster1972]

what is the temperature in there?

[arkanoid1980]

about 1300°C in turbine first stage, if film cooled

[hdyudu]

it basicly a tornado of fire that swirles around vary fast in each chamber

[AerospaceTech]

so thats what it looks like you can see the flame swirling.

pretty cool
