Model Turbine

This is the first test start up of my turbine sitting at 25,000 rpm just above idle. It's fired on propane at the moment but I ended up not pushing it since i discovered my bearing oil distributor jammed up.
Since then i have pulled it apart cleaned it all up, rebuilt the oil distributor and re-profiled the nozzle guide vanes. I have uploaded another video of the main components of this turbine and should be available shortly.
I will upload another video of it running once i have it fully rebuilt.

@darkprinslau Did you see combustion? I didn't. From what I can see this is purely electric at this point. No fuel.

im trying to build one myself too.

what type of fuel do u use?

i saw this test was on propane but could i use liquid parrafin or diesel too?
