Allison 250-C18

[TheSweettooth95]

how much does it cost and tell me if you see where i can buy this kined of engine i wont to poot one in a custom chopper

[sixtiesforever1966]

Like to put that engine in the BD-5J "Acrostar" Microjet.

That is the one in the James Bond Movie Octopussy.

[sixtiesforever1966]

WHAT THE FUCK CANT POST A REPLY

[DrFocker]

Ok, so a dumb question... I understand the basic concept of compressor, power, and how the engine is started. What I dont understand is why it sounds like one tubine is spooling down while another is spooling up after the fuel is introduced. Doesnt the engine need everything spinning in order to work?

[walkandlookup]

Y2k?

[Daehawk]

Wow very small.

[edzzera]

Hello, my name is Edy, I am a student at the University of Campinas, sao paulo, Brazil. we have a turbine 1s/60 rover and want to make the instrumentation of the turbine, but it need the manuals, which do not possess. I wonder if you could help us with this?

Thanks

[kaziabir1]

we are working on this one in our shop right now..just learning the basics...cute little engine

[speedy02]

Mercury racing put an A250 in a outboard as a prototype.

[valsoldier03]

We have one on a run-up stand like that at TSTC here in south TX too. Pretty badass.

[Backyardmech1]

I got to do that when I went to Westwood in Houston. :D That engine makes one hell of a cool sound when it lights off and keeps itself going

[ablethevoice]

Gawd I HATE digital sound reproduction! It is impossible to get a real feel for the sound the thing puts out because of all the bizarre digital artifacts generated as the RPM increases.

Otherwise, cool vid!

[Nebulabeing]

The start up on this engine was rather slow, it needs a start accell adjustment on the fuel control unit then most likely after that would need a start derich adjustment. I work on military jet rangers with these fitted and im constantly making N1, N2, & start accell and start derich adjustments

[derneuschooer]

where does that engine come from?

[jfl187]

which scool is this?

[nandoanalog]

for $300k it better produce 5k hp and crap cotton candy out of it´s exhaust.

[quietfamily]

I suppose there is a "caution all those wearing wigs" sign somewhere? :)

[leokimvideo]

They are a fantastic gas turbine, so small, light and great power output.

A absolute classic design.

[SenorSpode]

@leokimvideo I agree. It's found in the Hughes 500 and the Bell 206, a remarkable gas turbine engine.

[MeltedPuke]

BOY THAT THAR, ... UMMM THING MUST BE LOUD HUH? mmm is there something else to get from the title of this video or other content.

[jeryl1968]

we have seen everything else on a go cart why not and allison ? lol

[traebar007]

bell 206's

[99golfracer]

not sure about the huges 5oo but its in the bell 206-B i worked on some at school

[nissanR92CP]

can you tell me how much an allison 250-c18 turbine would cost both new AND used?

[greg8698]

A new Allison 250-C18 or C20, like the ones used in a Bell 206Blll or a 206L4 will cost you about $150K, You can pick up a used one in good condition with good remaining TTO for less than $100K.  However, if you are a pilot and you flub it on start-up and end up with a "hot start", the cost of repairs to the hot section can run you almost $100K

[n9233f]

300k new

[Afrocanook]

Would that be a Hughes 500 engine by any chance?

[bullzisnipr3]

title says Allison 250... I'm no expert on jet engines at all, but my guess is it's an allison.

[Afrocanook]

The Hughes 500 is a type of American Helicopter. This is definitely a helicopter engine.

[bullzisnipr3]

and thus my inadequate amount of education regarding jet engines comes forth, lol

[greg8698]

Your exactly right, it is the same turbine engine used in the Bell 206B-III and a sweet engine at that.

[Zoloft61]

it's interesting the microphone pics up a lot more high pitch sounds than the human ear (or at least it seems so)

[simusfr]

I'd say it only picks up much less bass than the human ear

[nickthesafe]

It's harmonics...

[r44pilot]

i still like the Arrius 2F better :P

any turbo shaft engine rocks though.

504hp with 210 pounds.

[DirtyPee]

do you go to AIM?

[AxManMunky]

i went to redstone institute. aim took over the school when redstone closed.

[DirtyPee]

Figured!! I go to AIM in Indianapolis. We have the same engine.

[Mapanatl]

All aviation schools have the same demo engine. (and stand)

When my school closed, I bought that engine for a hundred bucks.

God damn george bush. fucking up the country from every angle.!!

[sacha4you]

Mapanatl, don't complain about President G.W. Bush. It's said, he was elected in a nearly democratic procedure, so you deserve him.

;-))

[cybernickx]

it was a nearly democratic procedure, so ... we nearly deserve him !

[sacha4you]

cybernicks, oil industry will everyday lick his toes (maybe all his holes too) to thank him for the high oil prices.

;-))

[1BORNTOSING]

i like that comment made me lol. i have an isotov 350 bye the way nice engine

[thugblaster303]

Nice I'm tearing one down right now!

[scubastevedan]

Nice, we have one of these at my A and P school. It's light enough for 1 or 2 people to lift.

[MadBiker77]

pity its on the engine stand... saw one of these in the MTT Y2K Bike, and wanted one ever since.... (was thinking more austin mini)

[kartkid100]

Is that the one used in the Y2K? seems a little large...

[sswemmer]

This is not the engine used in a Y2K

[scuferrari]

Hello. This is the engine used in the Y2K Motorcycle sswemmer has no idea what he is talking about.

[sswemmer]

You're right; I only work with Pratt & Whitney power plants, not R.R.'s.

[thiago497150]

This turbine is more fuel efficiency than a conventional piston engine for the same horsepower?

[th67ip]

No it is not, but it is more reliable and has considerably less weight.

[dempas]

also pretty much no movin parts for (unlike the piston engine) so less gravity actin on the parts

[sacha4you]

thiago497150, you are wrong here. Gas turbines

(GT) are less efficient, but power/weight ratio is much better. (Energy in hot exhaust gases is wasted!) You can either make a turbofan configuration with a high bypass ratio to lower EGT, or couple a steam turbine on the same shaft. Latter engine type achives efficiencies up to 60% and would be perfect for hybrid cars. Since this would offend oil industry, nobody ever will bring it to market. :-(

[thiago497150]

Thanks for this explanation

[sacha4you]

You are welcome.

[Mapanatl]

sacha:

actuallly, the Oil companies are too busy supplying all they can pump to India and China besides US to those industrial markets.

NOW, I don't think they care if Civilians find alternative fuel sources.

besides Today NOTHING can be kept secret.

Oil companies Can not stop millions of projects for Alternative fuel sources.

[sacha4you]

Mapanatl, neither physics, nor technology can kept secret. However, lobbyists can convince politics to not introduce a technology. E.g. google for '+Sandia +"Linear transformer Driver"', w/o single quotes. You will run into a (fully scalable!) high yield, hyperspace pulsed plasma fusion reactor system, that can even create electricity from fusion. A car would consume a few grams of Boron and H2 - for it's lifetime. You can build it, but car industry won't, as long as

oil is a business.

;-))

[hoffinmichhoff]

the jet ranger has one allison 250 engine.

[Soehave]

I wonder what would happend if i installed one of thoes in an old East german Trabbant?

[sortashaman]

It'd probably make less smoke! No mixing oil/gas (unless the Trabbie uses oil injection...)!

[alimon4142]

It would tear it a new asshole!

[yuandrew]

raresnetboy; yes this is the engine used on the MTT Y2K turbine bike. MTT and other people have also used this engine on boats and other vehicles as well; there's even one video here of a Datsun (Nissan) 280Z with this engine as well.

Most common aircraft usage I know of is in a Bell Jetranger helicoptor.

[PELICANOCHILENO]

Thanks for the info. I have a design/project that requires 2 small turbines.

[raresnetboy]

Is this the one they have on the Y2K bikes?!

[TurbineJesse]

Nice vid! Just a small correction on the comment below, this is the Allison 250 engine, however it's the C18 model with 317shp, the new C20 model does have 400shp.

[velocityflier16]

its hard to believe that the A250 has over 400SHP for its size. A truly remarkable innovation by Allison. Thanks for the video

[FORDGTFANATIC]

wait Allison as in the transmission thats in my 2004 GMC Sierra?

[velocityflier16]

The Allison Company that makes turbines is a different company than the Allison that makes your transmission

[FORDGTFANATIC]

i was about to say
