"Never free spin anything without proper safety protection." So i have to put a polycarbonate screen in front of my vinyl player, microwave and washing machine..
What sort of rpm? In theory you could calculate it my measuring the frequency of the noise and counting the fins around it, pretty straight forward maths. Nice job.
@normellow yep a pressure drop through a nozzle and an increase in velocity which then hit the blade give up energy to the rotor and repeat through X number of stages
That setup is meant to be fed hot gases from the combustion chamber of a gas turbine. The hot gas hits the turbine only after passing through a diffuser and fixed position or non rotating stator or static blades that direct them at a around a 45 degree angle opposite and through the turbine blades. Would be nice to have a small reliable gas or whatever turbine to charge large battery banks a couple times a week. Run it off whatever you have on hand. Now that's what I call making power.
I bet you have had 500 messages from the turbo jet heads on you tube wanting to buy that turbine from you or find out where they can get one. Really is cool stuff right there. I think those blades are adjustable if you have the right tools.
Umm. That was incredibly stupid. The energy stored in the turbine could cut a person in half if it got loose or exploded. There is a reason why these things are mounted on shafts with large bearings.
@dmonat READ THE DISCLAIMER AND INFO BEFORE YOU LOOK RETARDED. I hate you retards that type before you read.. oh wait I got it. You can't read. I'm sorry your illiterate, Oh wait you can type. that just makes you a troll and an asshole. Get Bent
I don't understand how this is an effective way to generate power when using a significant amount of power for an air compressor to spin it. I presume it would be implemented as a hydro electric generator?
so I have a question, if you use steam as a power source and have like 4 inputs could you get enough shaft power to really run something like a 1KW generator?
@honeybunchickens you are only the second person I have ever heard mention that type of metal. The other is my father, who does work in the defense industry. Just saw your post and thought I would comment.
Nice looking axial flow turbine. this is very close to what I'm looking for for a solar steam generator that uses an evacuated tube to generate steam. If you can get the turbine part together I can do the rest.
This probably can be used as a blow-down turbine in the exhaust system of a car to drive something. Such a system was used in the late forties & fifties with the Wright R3350 Turbo Compound - three turbines fed energy back to the crankshaft through fluid couplings. Especially a diesel is perfect because the exhaust gas is cooler and since there's no throttle, the maximum amount of air is always pumped through. I'd like such a turbine to drive my alternator.
@adamtreyhyatt I am talking about turbo-compounding: the *kinetic energy* of the exhaust gasses is used to drive a turbine, which drives reduction gears and a fluid coupling, which can be used to transmit power back to the crankshaft or to drive a different component. Turbochargers use exhaust gas *pressure*, and have a different principle.
Im look for this turbine part seller or this part code number or any reference of this turbine wheel part engine thanks alot for any information. hagote@terra.com.br
I'm pretty sure this turbine is intended for the gas to come in from the side of the blade, rather than from the end. Should be more efficient that way. It would be even more efficient if you are able to feed gas into all vanes simultaneously, though that would be difficult to do. You really need all of the parts that went with this blade.
You not safe behind the polycarbonate, a guy removed the rev limiter on his Mazda rotary and then he over revved it and the flywheel cam off and went through the STEEL firewall of the car and killed him - another guy put a ball bearing on his finger and it revved so hard it seized and took his finger off - dont mess with these things unless they in thick steel housings
You can have those water jet cut out of a plate for a cheap and nasty equivalent, if its built into a housing the difference in efficiency between a flat blade and a cupped blade will offset the purchase price, you will probably need a planetary gearbox to reap the rewards via a massive gear reduction.
This is an impulse turbine, and the location of the air feed is incorrect. It should be at one side, with an angle of about 45 degrees to the axis of rotation. I foresee a considerable increase in rpm's if this is done.
Hey,is that a (29) Blade impulse Turbine?,if so i manufacture those,they are not very hard to build.I have several that i have already built and i am as of now in the process of building my own (10 KW) actual true- to-life steam turbine plant,i am not talking about these you see here on" YouTube",but a Real steam Turbine Plant with (6Stage) Compressor and Turbine along with my own Generator.I like those Impulse Turbines,Very Efficient and reliable indeed. :-)
@Sprauge99 - I just happen across this posting and I am looking for an efficient steam turbine to compliment a solar concentrator. The total collecting power is 12 KW, and tested output heating water is 65-75% efficient. I expect the final output to generate electricity between 3 to 4 KW. Did you complete your turbine yet?

I could plug the rotor on to my steam jet / generator with proper steam inlet orientation to power that rotor up and see what it can really do with 30kw of steam power coming in at high P and T. See steam output at woodfirepower and if Dan will lend it, I'll hook it up and send back the video of how it worked out.............rt
I'm really interested in your project. I started building the Yamato in 1/72nd and thought it might be nice to make it steam turbine powered. What is the diameter of the blade? Thank you, Bill
The nozzle is located incorrectly for optimum performance. It should come in from the side at about 30 degrees. Wheels of this type are designed to operate in a cross-flow configuration not from the edge like a pelton wheel which has cutouts in the 'buckets' to reduce the blocking effects on the water jet by the following 'bucket'. This wheel seems to have blades that can be adjusted to mattch the incoming flow.
No worries mate, they are just an axial flow turbine with vanes to guide the jet flow over the blades of the turbine in the same direction the blade move, rather than across them, hence the shape of the blades on this turbine. Usually found in turbine engines with a centrifugal compressor, like most heli engines.
Nice, I'm guessing this may have been a turbine for an air starter? Or speed indicator? I once worked at a place where we molded starter turbines out of anti-static, ceramic plastic. There was a version about 5" diameter that was rated about 65HP, the design on ours was much different with the vanes all in the sides and a matched casing needed. See one type in action here:
CO2 emissions from volcanic eruptions are 1000s times more than all human CO2 emissions. Besides phytoplankton in world's oceans convert CO2 into O2 and chemical energy. The human CO2 footprint scare is BS meant to control you. Do your own research, I'd continually do EXTENSIVE research on this to educate my science students. Get informed and don't worry about human CO2. Yes, I teach Marine Science and Chemistry for a living.
lol Next episode. Dan live from the dog house. Brave soul i must say. A bit costly. How easy u ask? All depends, if u had a nice table top cnc machine u could make the the blades, and the shaft on a simple drill press (out of wood any). Only if i had the tools i would try to match you.
I did not test it at full RPMS because it is just squeezed into a 1.5" hole in a 2x4. Also the bearing is seated with teflon Tape and Electrical tape. When I get the proper safe mount I will test it again with 125 PSI and 2400 psi pressure washer:-)
PsychoticusRex, yup compressed air engines would reduce Co2 from cars. Yet most people would power the compressors used to fill the air tanks on their MDI CityCATS with electricity off the normal grid. Of course while the car you use is cleaner the power you use to recharge the air tank is not. The US still relies on coal for most of the electricity it uses. The French generate most of their electricity at nuclear power plants. At least the French do not have to worry about Co2 emissions though.
I like the reduced Co2 aspect using Nuclear I am however troubled with the spent fuel rod storage problem. Were it not such a safety problem loading the rods and other nuclear waste on a rocket and shooting it to the sun would be a clean solution. Any thoughts?
Interesting. I've been thinking about this recently. Given that the raw materials came out of the ground originally, why can't they just go back into the ground? Because the fuel that was created is no longer benign, so it would poison the ground water etc.
So, why not process the spent fuel back into something that is once again benign, then it can be disposed of safely.
1foxtrot70: There's very impressive work being done in physics that in a few decades will alow us to start playing arround with the strong and weak nuclear forces...thus able to either MAKE the radioactive isotopes non radioactive or reduce them to their final stable isotope in their chain. I wish more people read Physics journals. :(
Hello PRex: That is impressive if the radioactive isotopes can be made non-radioactive or benign that would be a real short in the arm for the industry not to mention mankind.
1foxtrot70: Unfortunately we're just touching the theoretical models now, we're decades away from a laboratory test stand and still more decades away from practical engineering application. Read "All Flesh Is Grass" for some startling implications.

Get informed and don't worry about human CO2. Yes, I teach Marine Science and Chemistry for a living.

We have the technology to have free energy. Rich bastards that own the power companies and oil prevent it from happening.

wrong
if Free Energy technology existed, no one, not even the Rich, would need money.
no one would need to go to the effort of acquiring and maintaining monetary wealth.
"free" means unlimited. Energy is not, its Finite.

Denise thought I was crazy:-) The assembly is really amazing. I was thinking how difficult it would be to make something like that.

lol Next episode. Dan live from the dog house. Brave soul i must say. A bit costly. How easy u ask? All depends, if u had a nice table top cnc machine u could make the the blades, and the shaft on a simple drill press (out of wood any). Only if i had the tools i would try to match you.

whys it so wobbly?

its not propperly secured to a shaft

I did not test it at full RPMS because it is just squeezed into a 1.5" hole in a 2x4. Also the bearing is seated with teflon Tape and Electrical tape. When I get the proper safe mount I will test it again with 125 PSI and 2400 psi pressure washer:-)

The French are BUILDING cars that run off of compressed air as an energy resevoir. Smart people those French.

PsychoticusRex, yup compressed air engines would reduce Co2 from cars. Yet most people would power the compressors used to fill the air tanks on their MDI CityCATS with electricity off the normal grid. Of course while the car you use is cleaner the power you use to recharge the air tank is not. The US still relies on coal for most of the electricity it uses. The French generate most of their electricity at nuclear power plants. At least the French do not have to worry about Co2 emissions though.

I like the reduced Co2 aspect using Nuclear I am however troubled with the spent fuel rod storage problem. Were it not such a safety problem loading the rods and other nuclear waste on a rocket and shooting it to the sun would be a clean solution. Any thoughts?

Interesting. I've been thinking about this recently. Given that the raw materials came out of the ground originally, why can't they just go back into the ground? Because the fuel that was created is no longer benign, so it would poison the ground water etc.
So, why not process the spent fuel back into something that is once again benign, then it can be disposed of safely.
It can't be that difficult, surely.

Hello RupertsCrystals: The process of creating the radioactive isotope is long and complicated, the reversal will be no less difficult.

1foxtrot70: There's very impressive work being done in physics that in a few decades will alow us to start playing arround with the strong and weak nuclear forces...thus able to either MAKE the radioactive isotopes non radioactive or reduce them to their final stable isotope in their chain. I wish more people read Physics journals. :(

Hello PRex: That is impressive if the radioactive isotopes can be made non-radioactive or benign that would be a real short in the arm for the industry not to mention mankind.

1foxtrot70: Unfortunately we're just touching the theoretical models now, we're decades away from a laboratory test stand and still more decades away from practical engineering application. Read "All Flesh Is Grass" for some startling implications.
