Homemade Twin Turbine Jet Engine

[grant140889]

how much heat do they produce?

[akilyoung]

that is straight badass

[HKPSG1Shooter]

Man, that is badass!! This is the type of setup I want for my jet-boat. How much thrust does that setup generate?

[ae92guy]

id like to build a bigger one of these and mount it in a mini drag rail

[Spoif]

@vwschock Excellent work! How much thrust do the two turbines create?

[mcbad12]

Strap those babies onto your care, and we have lift off!!!

[motorgame]

what is the orange thing hanging from the back of the engine?

[ChoasActual]

best set up iv seen,real clean.next put it in a geo!

[cacneaunit6]

Where do u get the turbo charger because I want to build a turbo charged hang glider and how much thrust dose one put out because in thinking of going about 50-70 mph and where can I get the the schematics?

[cacneaunit6]

I need some help before I build a single turbine first of all, where do I put the oil intake/thing second do u need a combustion chamber third how do u measure the thrust fourth do u put the starting fule in the combustion chambers or the engine fifth what is best to keep it cool. Please reply.

[stoichiometric]

very cool

[someonehasthisid]

That is super sweet!!! I bet the neighbors panic!

[loserface122190]

i would rather fuck a chick then be forced to watch this again please kill ur loved ones and ur self thank u

[mrkhristoff]

it seems as if one of ur turbine housin on the back is smaller than the other...but then again thats a nice lil machine uve got there...u gotta b smarter than that right?

[mxriderextreme]

how much fuel does either or both use for how long?

[SystemParanoia]

Whats the fuel consumption like in the twin setup vs the tripple ?

[HakGraf]

Build a PDE.

[DerrickForeal101]

thats awesome haha!

[322skull]

nice assembly...322

[Accumulator1]

Really interesting setup. Do those auto turbos produce much thrust? Would one turbo be enough to supply the combustible air for two additional turbos that could be used as a PTO for a large turbo fan? Seems like your thrust potential would then be greatly amplified.

[BanditDragoon]

those turbo chargers look brand new O.O

[ND4SPD16Y8]

yeah i lol'd when i saw the description "...made this from junkyard components...cost me very little money..." im thinking to myself... bullshit this thing prolly cost you an arm and a leg!!

[tomas7url]

Газовая горелка гг

[crazyfvck]

So the compressors are both linked to that central combustion chamber, which is then linked back to the turbines? Seems simple enough : ) BTW, good choice on the fuel. That's what I plan on using if I ever build one of these.

[superpaco1]

you have great skill.

awesome!

[MrArmyjustin]

Hey, just wondering if you wanted to sell this? Or perhaps build another one?

[sjtf2]

5 stars ! .incredible

[nUaSvAy]

Jetpack anyone?

[dasadler123]

boy i hope that isn't how you really spell

[1anarchy99]

propain is in afisint ful it burns to quik

alkahal or r\c car gas wood work beter

[Lightz21H]

dude that was awesome

[d0wnwithgravity]

nice going mate, ive been working on one too, ill post a video when its done

cheers!

[tempest404]

i wonder how much trust that makes :P

[DELRICO213]

dude you are the man i would love to be able to do that . good job. oh my bad freekin great job.

[Robkat3751]

Only one thing wrong, The vid was too short. Great looking turbo.

[robbcarter12391]

this reminds me at anakins podracer from star wars I

XDD

[RIO1987RUSgosu]

XDDDD! yeah!!

[midnightno]

dude that is hot u need to teach me that i can make a hover craft with that i just need a working twin-turbine engine

[scisourav]

hey

vwschock

can u tell me how u made this

sci sourav

[dannyboybergsma]

how did you get the parts, and where? please answer, this is awsome

[akkudakkupl]

not enough air in the mixture. or the thing is too cool. you need to feed it other ammount of propane

[buttertoast117]

he needs jet fuel not propane

[CJ27]

now just get some steel tubing, wheels, a racing seat and your off. good building :)

[midnightno]

this would be the sickest car ever

[logic2reason]

ok but how exactly does this make usable power similiar to a jet? i dont see enough thrust comming off any of these diy jet things to even push a red flyer wagon

[rcmodder]

The fact that he can even make a jet engine out of scrap parts is badass!

[logic2reason]

oh i agree. But just cause i can build something impressive but not functional is a questionable approach. How would this device make useable power? How much thrust can be produced by a setup like this.

[rcmodder]

Maybe he just needs time to perfect it....

Not really sure what his goal or intention for this was so you'd have to ask him what he wanted to accomplish.

I'd like to think he's planning on doing SOMETHING useful with this but needs time and practice to reach his goal, either way bravo.

[panda360]

i agree, wats the point in making something that has no point?

[dominice112]

because you can?

sometimes doing it is worth your while.. a learning experience.

And it's kinda cool to say "I have build my own jet engine".

[thugchaldo4lyfe]

Thats sweet as hell..can you message me and tell me how you did that?

[shale0984]

Bad fkn ass!! Best video of this i've seen yet. These are the kids that grow up to be NASA engineers lol. Make a few more videos and u got urself a nice video resume :)...

[breathoflife243]

That is incredible. Ive only seen this type of twin turbine setup illustrated in conceptual drawings until now. It appears to start so easily its amazing. Ide love to see a sketch of your combustion chamber and flame holder design. Absolutely top notch work.

[vwschock]

Thank you very much! I'm having trouble with the spark ignition system on the new tri-turbine setup. I may revert back to glow plug instead- Stay tuned!

[teamsleepnine]

i know its sound stupid...does this engine have a accelaration pedal? and is it possible to have one?

[Aerolipe111]

good job, but start aways outdoor mate!

take care

[vwschock]

Dude's arguing whether the turbo's are new or not?! Why? They are junk yard turbos from 88 Audi 5000T's. KKK K24's. About $80 each. High temp aluminum ceramic paint makes stuff look new.

Now anyway I'm just a few days away from running the newly enlarged and modified Tri-Turbine engine. Which is going to be freakin insane.

[spoiledworm]

how much did that cost you in parts?

[AznShowStoppa]

thats deadly

[Imporsess]

If that was junkyard and homemade, then congrats! That is great

[taruler16]

junk yard my ass those look like new turbos

[ericeng91]

well what is his reason to lie? it's not like we would judge him differently if he actually bought them new. He probably just cleaned it up very neatly

[sihanling]

lol... you never worked on cars before doing an overhaul, wash, degrease, recoat ?

[7msupraboy]

put that on a gokart!

[Astromic]

good job,

but keep it outdoor, cuz u'll never know what might happen...

[ate7]

Actually the compressor isn't even axial...it's totally centrifugal!

[rickyaap]

that goes for you too

[ate7]

This is NOT A JET ENGINE. This is a FAN. For those of you whom aren't of the knowing persuasion, a Turbo JET relies on an axial compressor and that's it...pretty much. Everything after that is Pressure, fuel and Heat. And since in this model the turbine is actually propelling the fuel/air mix as well as combusted gases out of the nozzle (with the help of a smaller compressor) this makes this a gas turbine, not a turbo jet or a jet at all. Want a real jet? Try a Ram jet on an SR71 blackbird

[rickyaap]

what in Whittle's name are you saying? Jets do not have to have an axial compressor, they can be centrifugal too. They only use axials because you can stack as many as you want, when in the centrifugal after two of them you begin to lose efficiency. Even further, the best compressor is a combination of Axials in front and a centrifugal in the back. Check out the allison250 not turbojet,but turboshaft. If you say Centrifugals are not turbojet i dont know what you call Frank Whittle engine.

[djsnowman06]

your an idiot. lol one a ramjet is pretty much just a canwith fuel injectors. and second the first turbojets aka gas turbines (turbo = turbine) were centrifugal.

[djsnowman06]

the rolls royce engine in the concord was centrifugal and expeled gasses at supersonic speeds sorry ate7 but you are wrong

[jman1gall1]

i see where he's goin with this its on a rack he's goin to make a jetpack

[Dlucas1357]

this nerd is such a G

....lol jk!!

[000darkstar000]

WOW!!!COOL Turbine!twin!cool!

[PixelPi]

You have it suspended by a wire, but it's not moving... no thrust?

[Helldistroyer]

1 only produces about 10 to 15 pounds thrust, unit weighs like 100+ so no usualy it is just a complicated machine that converts fuel to noise.

[sb6lb3]

ehh i think hes just not running it high enuf, it sounds kinda on the lowerend, but i bet he could really get it goin just didnt want to for now

[Magmatwista]

not if u have water injection, decent pumpage, good quality fuel, afterburner, and controls...... his doesn't look like it has many of them, notice how he says "junkyard parts". if u wanted to make an engine that can pull twice its own weight, you will need all mentioned above, what a jet engine needs to run anyway (compressor, flame tube etc), and more

[meliketopaintball]

Those look like eBay turbines.

[yonsje]

hi, i want to build one of these with some friends, do you know where i can find good instructions, or could you give me some??

[airsoftguitardrum900]

lol, thats kl, put an afterburner on it, that'l impress peeps, lol

[jws6837]

That's so cool, I sent you an e-mail for some information. Please respond. Thanks

[vwschock]

I would run like hell. Ha, no I always have 2 dry chemical extinguishers nearby, and cutting the fuel is easy because an electric soleniod style injector (cold start valve from vw)is used to deliver fuel. Good point though, people be careful!!

[rendrageed]

i am building a small turbine engine from scrap metal and exhaust pipe sections i got from autozone... that selenoid idea just solved a problem for me.. thanks!

[DBFIU]

To asho225, If you are british and have never seen a british jet engine than you are blind. The brits were the first to design and test a micro-turbine and they have some of the most advanced miniature gas turbine technology in the world. I am american btw.

[simonspt]

great!!! How did you do that?! the materials, the plans.. wow!! this is amazing!

[asho225]

i just thought of a point so here it is why do all the americans make the diy jet engines i am british and i have not seen a british jet engine

[curtisdarr]

Do you really want an answer to that...?

[LanciaS4]

Niiice =D I wonder how much thrust these DIY engines produce! :D

[Yoshikanu86]

That has to be the coolest thing ever to have in the garage =D , though I don't know if my neighbours would approve the exquisite feeling of living on an aircraft carrier =D

Was that an afterburner at the end ?

[vwschock]

amazing how a little spray paint makes things look new. ya I imagine gas don't like turnign 90 degrees through the piping. Maybe I change the design, maybe I'll just throw it away cause it's been sitting around collecting dust for 2 years!

[MrGatoMan1]

very cool, any idea what kind of thrust its producing?

[vwschock]

Prolly not very much. I have so many projects going on at once; just haven't had time to work on this one. Thanks for all the positive comments everyone!

[ConePirate]

is that a 240 in the driveway? figured you'd be looking for turbos in the junkyard :) cool vid man!

[r1wantone]

i bet the neighbours love him

[EvolveVolvo]

ok, that waayyy cool.

how little does it cost? junkyard parts? seems like pro install to me.

[vwschock]

Oh yes, it does need alot of work-

it's been sitting for about 8 months untouched. It might never get finished-

[bonecrime]

Woah, dude, you really gotta rework that combustor of yours. The flames should NOT go past the turbine wheels. And even at idle your EGT is waay too high, the turbine wheels shouldn't glow like that. And one can clearly hear that the flames are not very stable at all.

[bonecrime]

Does it self sustain without the igniter going? A tip, you're feeding too much air too early into the flame holder, and the flame gets "drawn out" and unstable. Make a new one with smaller/fewer holes at the fuel injection point and bigger/more holes at the end. That way you will shorten down the flame and then mix the hot air with cool air from the compressor. What you'll gain is a much lower EGT, a much better running engine and better fuel efficiency.

[ozonedepleter]

Do you offer plans to make one of these engines?

you seem to know what you are talking about

[bonecrime]

Haha, no, no. :) I've just studied the subject a bit.

[cadavatar]

I want to customize my Grand Prix or Firebird by modifying the trunk so that while driving, the trunk lid opens at an angle and 2 jet engines protrude and ignite.

It would be for show, but can you imagine being behind someone on the freeway and seeing that? It would also definitely be a hit at custom car shows.

[vientorio]

Very Nice

[TheBillionthUniverse]

Nice construction

[jesusmendoza89]

WOW MEN THAT's AWESOME!! COULD YOU GIVE A PLANS OR A MANUEL TO BUILD ONE LIKE YOURS? IS FOR A SCHOOL PROJECT

[buchnermarkus]

Take a car turbo, connect the air outlet to the exhaust inlet wich a tube, and put a gas or petrol burner in the tube between. Add a sparkplug, and blow in the front end with a leafblower. The open gas and spark.

[lamnarota]

guyz, does anyone know the price of a jet engine and its needed part to be run?

[nickthesafe]

I am curious as to wether or not you managed to get the engine idling?. from what i can see and hear, she's not quite over the 'hump' of startup. More start air and liquid propane (or kero). have ya seen smogs' (formerley mine) big TV94(T18A) twin - potentially 300lb thrust.

[azterik]

Kerosene next...

[fre2fly]

u shood put that in a kit plane or....... well i was gona say go kart but its freakin huge lol

[fre2fly]

wow

thats rele neat compared 2 other homemade jets

[encinaj]

I'm more interested in the project car you got going there in the garage. What is it? and I see you have a 240 in the drive way you drift at all?

[stern1066]

Who made the turbo chargers?

[kdp160]

Love the video,but in the future you should fire that thing up outside.

[legacy95]

thats very cool...if i had the know how id build one of these things...you should put it on something....ago cart maybe?

[pollypeptide]

Ya, thats a Jet!!

[mIRCmAN]

lol awesome!

[WoWGamer20XX]

Just out of curiosity, how much pounds of thrust does it provide?

[NerveSyrup11]

Wow, that is very cool and you are really talented.

[vwschock]

Thanks for all the positive comments everyone! Im real busy, but should have the new tri-turbine running soon- Btw- The fuel was gasoline and diesil 50/50 mix. You can see the change when I switch from propane to the liquid fuel mix. The garage has mutiple exhaust fans that suck out exhaust- stay safe- justin schock

[meglomaniac666]

I would love to hav one of those in a mini lol

[kpj200]

the flamage looks sweet!!!!!!!!!!

[octanetripledax]

since you are burning propane (according to k2chris1983) in a room, wouldn't the carbon monoxide build up in the room and kill you?

[XiD07X]

at those temps and air mixture propane burns pretty clean, but it could.

[LeviMan2001]

i think he's in a garage with the door open

[jhonkies]

what kind of gas is??

[k2chris1983]

You can see he is using some type of Propane in the back ground. Also its easy and cheap to use Propane instead of a liquid gas.

[johnn2400]

this thing is awesome, much better than other wannabe out there. this just rullz.

[RoboTekno]

I love it! post a vid when u get another turbo.

[jordysoso]

can u give me a list of materials and plans to make one of these. i am very interested on making one for my senior science project

[foxcummins]

how are you supplying oil to the turbines? evre got a sustanded run?

[vwschock]

Sighhhh, again this was a project started in 2001. Made from mostly scrap parts and stuff I had lying around. I have spent about $500 over a 6 year period. I spend about an hour a week on it. I dont expect it to work very well at all.

[nubsk8r]

dam u must have alot of spare time

:)

[nahuelito2007]

Always the same... No one is able to make a homogene flow and burning... All these engines are copy of existing knowlege without intelligence.

[sybra3006]

there is a way to make these type engines really produce a good even burn it just takes a little

know how on the burn tubes inside the cumbustion

chambers i built one a wile back that i was going to put on a glider but i dont fly. your right i agree

they cant get the burn to be fluid keep trying

this is a damn fine looking motor youll get it right

keep trying

[jetkrazee]

You are exactly right, the flame tube (hole placement)

is very crucial....

[proaudiohd]

Nye Thermodynamics has a very well running engine. Check it out!

[Sdryden555]

amazing vid man keep up the great work and keep your dreams alive as you have one hella imagination ;-)

[growingupisoptional]

That is so cool. ;-)

[vwschock]

Thanks for your comments everyone. Remember this project was just for fun-

[Carlos230023]

3. liquid fuel is better in the long run, you'll have fun trying to get it to work but you'll soon find that your LPG will quickly freeze over.

Looking great though, keep it up!

[Carlos230023]

heya nice work, although some constructive criticism from my experances.

1. the bigger and closer the fire extinguisher = the better

2. flames should stay in the combuster, having had a chuck of turbine fly out at god knows what speed only to throw your whole engine off balance vibrating it to bits is always a tearful moment, your turbines shouldnt even be glowing red if you can help it, direct as much compressor gas as you can to cool the products of combustion.

[kartkid100]

he was just spooling them up, I assume the flames would retire into the combustor with more air from the higher rpm.

[pd68uk]

Hi again what are you using for an oil pump and what pressure are you running at for the two turbos? What type of oil are you using?

Cheer's pd68uk

[vwschock]

The turbo's are KKK K24's. They are from a Audi 5000, I've done very limited testing so pressure has not climbed more than 6-7 psi. I have redesigned the combustion chamber and further reduced the kkk's nozzles down to a 1"outlet. The 3rd turbo- a larger KKK will have a 1.5" nozzle outlet with afterburner. Running 10-30 through a mini gear pump around 25 psi. More stuff coming soon.

[chrisuk94]

That is a nice piece of work, what are the turbos you are using? How much more have you to do before it is all finished? Have you got a walk around video and anymore footage of it running?

Cheer's pd68uk

[markchox]

nice!!.. hope you get it finished someday
