Home made turbine

[freshkryp69]

That fucker drinks the fuel!

A r/c heli would be cool in 1/4 scale!

[megalizardfreak]

theres rocks under the wheels

[rntxyusn]

The fuel tank needs to be shielded.

[NWTorpedoes23]

@rntxyusn Nahh, hes living on the edge!

[masteryoyo1978]

skip to 1:28 for the starting of it

[silver760]

I think you will find this is not a home made copy of a Harrier APU,but the actual item itself.APU's for large passenger jets are not much bigger than this.Why would he go to the trouble of making such a complex unit with many specialist metal parts,like the turbine vanes when he could just pick up a complete APU off the shelf? A life expired unit,which could never be fitted to a aircraft again but would have hundreds of hours or more of life in it before failure can be bought for little money

[DastreagusLetobeiter]

i guess they make heavy tables too over there.

[crashcyberdrive]

I would like to see that on a large scale RC plane.

[ECNasc84]

It sounds like my mixer when I'm making mashed potatoes..

[Georgieisaporgie]

bit pointless

[joebananatube]

So, how come the table don't take off?

[TMkrakusik]

super.tkanks.respect

[hellzone100]

wing suit..... put humans in the air.

[mikesamc]

starts like an ignorant ol dodge, but watchout when it catches

[ximenoworks]

The JTS (Jet Turbine Starter) on a American AV8-B looks and sound totally different. This vid must be a UK "A" model

[nyczumazooma]

How sweet is that?

[Kpilot786457]

ah... my arch nemisis, 240p, we meet again...

[7249xxl]

hoelang heb het geduurt om em te bouwen ziet er leuk uit

[jamiejump]

Long live the netherlands

[mathleraar]

it is an APU.

[pantsarehard]

i like how the more sounds this thing makes, the more people start stepping further and further away.

[96pieterr]

they talking dutch ja lekker nederlands kletsen

[yun514]

that remind me rocketeer

[bryce995]

So what your saying you use a jet to start a jet!!!

[iruamjs]

hey Hans, I want to build something like this for a school project.. any way I can contact you? maybe an e-mail or something??

[iruamjs]

[faffaflunkie]

If they're so smart how come they can't learn english.

[myleftnutts]

@faffaflunkie Well flunk then they would be too dumb,to build things like that!!!.

[vernie4163]

@faffaflunkie hey u r just envy to these inventors. will it make u smart if u are better in English? what about the germans the russians? thery're even unable to speak english. and yet, look at there technology. pioners in space vehicle, rocketry, and many more. f u feel u are smart too, then make ur own invention. and all ur english com. skills. nyhaa8hahahahahahaaha. people are really envious of  most of the time.

[TomAhsRF]

Tutorial :)

[porousorifice]

I see two issues.

1. not enough wing surface area.

2. fuel cell is not large enough.

LOL

nice work !

alot of precision work went into this mechanical masterpiece!

product of a truley skilled machinist!

peace

[slartibartfast69]

Looks to me like the centre half of the Lucas CR201 from the harrier and modified at the front where the gear box should go, I have one and we've run it using just a small pump

[burnok100]

what would be the shaft HP on that one..? it can clearly move a good sized car..

[FallenTrooper05]

put it on a bike tham put it to use..........

[guilhermewagner]

how much trust do you think you would get if u had it coupled to a fan? like in a cessna or something...

[emerychandler]

hey were could i get the blue prints for this? im an aerospace engineer who teachs cadets about this stuff. and i would love to have a working model.

[TheDidlo1]

Dam that's cool. Actually it's probably hot BADOOSH, TISH!! That was funny and clever huh

[fernandesilyt]

Where can I get the plans?

[honeybunchickens]

attach a custom afterburner to it for some more show and tell. that would be quite a site to see as well. building a jet engine like that would take years to develop that type of engineering and skill to be able to build something like that from scratch. amazing work, keep it up.

[Accumulator1]

If it had any thrust it would blow that cabinent over. It makes alot of noise. Probably be a good leaf blower.

[Parsons582]

@Accumulator1 that is the first thing i thought, i noticed nothiong holding it to the ground and then realized my home leaf blower might have the same thrust looks sweet though

[grimtango5280]

@Accumulator1 Because its barely producing any thrust if at all in the video. Doesn't mean it can't. They're not throttling it forward. Turbine combustion is always this loud even without throttle.

[freakin1random]

@grimtango5280 Turbines for jets have more than JUST that for thrust. these engines produce massive amounts of kinetic energy very quickly (although not the most efficient). This can be used to MAKE thrust using fans, something with more leverage than a small blower like device. besides, these need air, so when they get traveling more are is pumped in (like a turbo if you're into cars) and it burns the gas even faster.

[Justwantahover]

@Accumulator1 Its a gas turbine engine for shaft hp, not thrust like a jet engine. The shaft power the original was to turn a Harrier engine to start it (see description of video.

[gus23a]

@Accumulator1

it wasn´t designed to have thrust, it was designed to turn up the main turbine to firingspeed.

[wolf13011]

cool u probably can run that on a gasifier it would b a cool thing to do if u wont to know that a gasifier does look it up on utube

[Ramiromasters]

pretty sure it can move the cart but it would be too loud, the turbine design its kind of simple yet tedious to fabricate. But they can generate some mad truest, just see the guy with the jacket who is standing behind it.

[freesafe7]

its a fancy, noisy paperweight....

[MrDeltaRuler]

it cant even move that little cart its on :(

[Kikesurf1]

Those engines are not meant for thrust, they are used for starting the main engine(s) of a jet or used in an auxilary power unit.

[MrDeltaRuler]

thats weird they would bring it to an RC field then

[crazyfvck]

Well most of the people involved with RC planes are interested in planes in general, so I'm sure they enjoyed having it there.

[MrDeltaRuler]

i guess im in the minority of people who wouldn't be interested, although i should be, i fly RC planes and Helis and i have my private pilots license going for my commercial rating haha

[deuteriate]

Maybe an APU or copy of one, but I wonder. Watching the fuel consumption in 3 minutes, that fuel (which probably weighs a lot more than the engine) would be gone in less than 10 minutes. APUs are used to generate electrical power because they more fuel efficient than running a main engine. . As for starting turbine engines, they use an electric starter to spin the turbine fast enough to compress the air-fuel mixture to combust- not too different from your car motor.

[12TakeAsecLookUp2012]

By starter turbine i think he's referring to an APU (Auxiliary Power Unit) which is basically another turbine used to power other components on the aircraft and doesnt produce trust (in most typical operation). Smaller turbines use an electric starter but since the rotor blade in commercial and military jet engines are heavier the electrical starter isnt an efficient option so they use an APU. to see one on a commercial jets they are typically the turbine mounted on the vertical fin(stabilizer)

[PinkyHellbitch]

-___- so it isn't a home made engine as the title says... am i wright?

[davek71]

What does a Starter Turbine do ? blow air in to the main engine to get it started?

[coley909909]

you can almost watch the fuel being sucked away

[JDO658]

I heard that when a harrier is doing a verticle take off or landing it uses up nearly half the fuel onboard. I don't know how true this is because i've seen some do verticle take off, flight, and verticle landing.

[InspectorExacto]

I'm surprised it didn't blow that cart right over that its mounted on

[0815tobey]

Maybe its because of big noise but not big thrust ;-)

[rct5r]

Cash for clunkers!!! look at the fuel usage..... you could get a nice rebate of $4500 dollars for this engine.... good way to make money.

[GayBoyRunning]

i though we should make engine that u less fuel not alot

[patrik667]

....idiot

[ArubaSailing]

Dit ziet er ongelofenlijk gevarlijkuit, een jet die op wat mensen te flamen, en dat ding staat op een wankel uit -zien-de tafel.

Als dat ding gaat..( MET DE TANK ER NAAST!!!)

WaTF &%^$???????

Dan kan je dat maaken en dan zo werken..

Zeeker even indewar...

[IRONMAIDENFAN2006]

LOOK HOW FAST THE FUEL IS GOING

[lnventedSIayer]

it didnt use any gas, almost

[lbeneditti]

why the table dont move?

[drunkanmaster]

i read something about tesla and it said that there is a cavity arround our planet that he could tap into and use this energy (free energy).if any one as seen this allso would like u to get intouch thnx:)

[mandykal]

i really want to see this on a truck...a regular toyota

[shazzzam79]

cant even push the table though.....

[shaikhdishgan1]

have you ever seen gasturbine explosion,it`s not realy fun, just bad injecor spiling fuel in comb. chamber then .....

[juanjohn427]

absolutely awesome!! looks like you won the science fair eh?! haha =)

[DJzooii]

Mooi heel mooi

[MyLIfeStudios]

they build these things NOW PUT IT ON SOMETHING !!!!!!!

[MrWati25]

@MyLIfeStudios I'd put her on a A-7 Corsair fighter.

[valttu94]

@MyLIfeStudios Its already in cabinet. Jet engine in a cabinet= EPIC!

[amrosik]

schön

[CreativeCritisizm]

It's a good thing it didn't take off !

[amen2233]

well since all the spectators are standing right in front of the dam thing .... if it had taken off --i'm sure one of them would have caught it ... in the head or chest

[ParaHelix]

They are actually stood "behind" it, however, I wouldn't like to catch a spinning turbo jet, especially getting my fingers stuck in the inducer, no thanks lol

[amen2233]

The people behind the fence ..not behind the flame ...look at 2:25 ...unless it flies backward

[ParaHelix]

In that case, your comment "if it had taken off --i'm sure one of them would have caught it ... in the head or chest" is useless as the people you say you were referring to are behind, in your words "the fence".

[oceankuwait]

Nice, i would love to learn more from you, check out my engine that i built at home !!!

[evildrome]

Thats amazing. How many hours of work are in that? How did you make the impeller turbine? Just looking at it from the outside raises many questions about how you formed the shell and pipework. Did you make a photographic record of the build? Just amazing...

[gregnick3377]

Why did the file cabinet not start flying forward. You'd think the thrust would be enough to move it.

[HansThunderbolt]

This turbine is not designed for exhaust thrust but for driving an axle (it is used to start the big turbine in a jet) Like the jet engine in a helicopter, the power goes to the rotor and is not used for exhaust thrust.

So there is no risk of tilting the support.

[Sterlin876]

put it in a pocket bike and have some fun

[nghonleong]

Hans,

seriously I am perpelexed by your answer.....there will still thrust from the exhaust even if the compressor end is designed to be coupled to a gearbox or propeller. Remember Newton's 3rd law? IMHO, fixing it down wun harm anyone.

I do agree safety was at best iffy.....especially with the public so close and you were standing at the rear end...away from the front! LOL.

Nice design tho and I sell GTs myself - a bit larger than yours.

[Bamchucknorris]

@HansThunderbolt so this is a turboprop, not a jet

[loscollins1]

@Bamchucknorris actually... it would be a turboshaft, turboprops use a turbine to drive a propeller.

[Bamchucknorris]

@loscollins1 yea i realized that right after i posted lol

[petfishes12345]

i like how there is no regard for stuff like ear protection and eyewear; or, I know it's a stretch, but placing the fuel tank away from the engine. No doubt very cool though

[Givusabrake]

Very impressive, I imagine it was only in idle otherwise it would have toppled it's support.

[douro20]

he made a replica of a lucas cr201 apu engine; most gas turbine builders don't have the kinds of resources or the time to do such a thing.

[YourPersonalGod]

What it the thrust rating for it at like half power/full and such? fuel amount consum rate? Sorry I like this way to much lol

[YourPersonalGod]

Very nice

[spaceroo]

To me it looks like a modified starter engine of a jet engine, at leased the burning camber and the compressor can be original, but still impressive, well done

[HansThunderbolt]

Not a modified engine! Completely home build from scratch!

[moariclub]

do you know if you can use hydrogen (liquid or gas) as a fuel for a turbine - and or after burner. Cheers.

[brianmenendez]

@HansThunderbolt Did you use any exotic metals like titanium in the construction?

Have you hooked it up to a gearbox and generator? output in watts?

You must have a heck of a machine shop in your house. Great job anyways.

[HansThunderbolt]

@brianmenendez

Read the description of the video; I was only the camera man. I did not build the turbine!

[brianmenendez]

@HansThunderbolt oh ok, thanks for filming then :)

[Thegibolin]

Wow, amazing!!! How did you do it? How long did it take? are you an engineer or so? Congratulations: beautiful technical miracle!!! If I had it on me during flight, I would fly like my friend Yves Rossy, ha ha !

Regards from Switzerland! "Gibolin".
