  • You wouldn't happen to have the Western Electric KS number for that unit?

  • @SCR2IGBT Yep- the plate is as follows:

    KS 20542 LIST 1

    ASSY NUMBER 907615092

    MODEL NUMBER KS-350

  • Could you tell me were you got this unit, and if they have any more?

  • @Grishe69 Ebay - I've seen a few units on there in the past, but it has been a while. Some more modern than others. Do a search on Ebay for "solar turbine -wind" and that usually will catch 'em.

  • IH POWER

  • Thank, very much, I have the 800kw 22300RPM to 1800rpm via reduction gear

    you can see it in my Video.

    About increase the time of starup I try to made it increasing the inyection fuel and increase the signal speed in order the ECU of fuel contral think the turbine are more fast and send more Diesel, but it only cause over temperature.

    Congratulation for mach the way to decrase the time of start up

    Regards

  • Hello, what is the speed of the turbine at 100% speed?

    you know the speed of the generator at 100%? 1900 or 3600 or other?

    Thanks

  • @alejogoldsmith - The generator speed is 3600 RPM, and the turbine at 100% is rated at 37,059 RPM. The accessories (fuel pump , etc.) and generator head are driven via a gear reduction device that also uses the same lubricant the turbine does.

  • what would be the cost of one these days? are used ones worth the buy?

  • If you can afford the fuel - the unit should be no sweat ;) They do draw a lot of fuel.

    This unit was around 8000 USD if I recall correctly (about two years ago)...

    The unit I had was in pristine shape - the combustor was totally undamaged, and the oil had been changed (on the gearbox regularly), as well as all PM performed.

    There are a LOT of electrics on the thing as far as control systems - that can get intimidating...

  • would you say a regular gas engine would consume less fuel than a gas turbine engine?

    which one would be better in your opinion?

  • WOW! I WANT ONE!

  • This is a great turbine generator! I bought on 2 years ago and powers whole house in 30 sec. Nothing is better at ticking off neighbors in the dead of night than having this guy start up, they say its like being at the airport!!!!

  • Is that out of the Bat Mobile?

  • LOL - I did have the idea to put it on an old truck of mine and make the truck a "hybrid" (LOL) with a turbine generator on the back for power... ...of course this never materialized ;)

  • sell it to me please

  • dude - i gotta get one of these!! IH rocks

  • Awesome. A Saturn? I see about 400 gallon fuel capacity. You have the best leaf blower in the world!

  • Be the first on your block to own a used gas turbine engine that could power a small town!

    Pretty impressive stuff.
