Tin Can Turbine

@bbewamit The real reason it doesn't work is because it doesn't have NGV aka stator vanes on either the compressor or the turbine. And the burner design is all wrong. The bearings are what you should worry about after the first 2 things.

@bbewamit do you have stator blades on the inside of the can?
-
@bbewamit can u send me the plans aswell
:)
-
hey, could you send me a design, and a question. Does this thing have any power? Can it push something?
-
Can it self-sustain without the compressed air feed-in? and how did test the vibration of the turbine and compressor? Anyway, it's really cool to see.
-
how much thrust does that generate? As in could you use it four a skateboard or a mountain bike? If it didnt need that external compressed air coming in from the front? Also a suggestion. If you dont mind using external comprest air you might as well build a simpler fanless scramjet or or that noisy weird shaped explosion jet dont rermember the official name.

@bbewamit if it was not designed to hande high rpm, you should replace it with fluid bearing
-
Can I also get plans for this engine as I would like to build one for a science project.
Thanks
-
what kind of fuel did u use???
-
0:52 lol at the shadow... look like a flame :D
-
PLANS!!!! please!!
Can you give me a "homemade plan" of your burning chamber or some other picture? :)

Nice work! What was the cause that it was unable to self sustain?

@kcmoore1988 Couple of reasons, Too much friction w/ bicycles axle bearings
(never designed for high RPM), additional flange aft burning chamber fpr additional
compression, turbines unbalanced and hitting exaust walls, additional interior exaust cone to aid in air flow. Have a new design (2nd generation). Due to run next week.
Goal is self propulsion w/ measurable thrust. Thanks for the comment.
