I don't know exactly. I do know that it weighs approx, 100 lbs. and in the video it did move on its own. It was just getting started when it ran out tether. I need to replace the turbo (again) for further testing. And get rid of the tether.
Hey Dave, Nice website! I'm your neighbor, I found out. Well...100 miles to the southwest. Just over the Byne-Nissha bridge near Conquered off 680. I worked for San Fran GE Marine Dept and did the overhauls on the Chevron gas turbine tankers for several years. Kimmer
Dave, General Electric MS5002 two shaft gas turbines (35,000 hp) use the free turbine to drive natural gas centrufugal compressors. Chevron has 5 tankers with GE MS3002 two shaft gas turbines. The power turbine runs a gearbox connected to a generator. The propeller shaft is turned by a 100 rpm electric motor as fed by the generator. Propeller is variable pitch, reversing.
Make a second turbine housing with no compressor wheel to run off the exhaust of the first. Use small front wheel drive automatic transmission planetary gears as a speed reducer and maybe you can run a small boat or gas turbine powered toothbrush. Ha! No clutch needed as you can stall the output shaft.
More: centrifugal gas turbines run very low pressure ratios, horribly inefficient 3:1. Newest jets run 27:1, still 2 shaft. The exhaust of the core engine turns the high bypass fan you see on the inlet of a 747. If I had more time I'd do what you made! The challenge is to reduce the power turbine outlet speed to turn n a generator. Old DC Chevy generator? Made for high rpm, accidental overspeed. You do nice work!
The goal is a go-cart. I have also am thinking about converting the fuel to bio-diesel, then turning a generator? Finding a use for it is the goal. Thanks for the comment.
The turbo is a KKK K26, as far as I know its off a Audi, I think. yes I have thought about a couple of small tanks, but currently I am going to convert it to kerosine. Thanks for checking it out.
Great video. I just acquired a 3K K26 turbocharger myself as well which I also intend to make into gas turbine/jet engine. Glad to see it is producing a decent amount of thrust.
I was told by the mechanic I bought it from that mine probably also came off an Audi. The plate says K26-2664G6.91 on it and under that 8.0 554 0455 . Mine has a bit of shaft play though but I was told there's a place in Orange County close to where I live that has a rebuild kit.
Put a afterburner. On it and shorten the end hole or make it smaller

how much thrust did you get out of this?

The best thing I like in this video is the guy smoking cigarette while operating flammable / combustible fuel....very smart!

Dave, how about a gas turbine powered cigar lighter??? With afterburner! Gas turbune powered marital aid???? Gawd, the possibilities are endless.

hello, I don't know what the rpm at this time. I have blown two turbo's I believe its over reving. I need to buy bigger turbo. Thankss

you should store some smaller propane tanks under the engine and put a afterburner on it. what kind of turbo are you using?
