Short video clip of my Boeing 502-6 turboshaft engine starting up, running for a few seconds, then spooling down. This engine makes around 160shp. Originally used an a Naval mine-sweeping ship to power its generator. More info. about it on my site: http://www.NuclearProjects.com

And yes, the video is grainy (consider it turbine pixel art) as it was shot many years ago, also why the audio jumps sides (who wants balanced audio anyway?). Enjoy!

  • is this from a heli?

  • @jeanlucncoelho NO. Read the comments above.

  • When this hits 88 miles per hour, You're gonna see some serious shit!

    *flies to 10,000 MPH*

    OH SHIT!!!

    Anyway, do you know if anyone hooked one of these up to a generator? I bet they can make juice for 10 houses EASILY!

  • @computerfreaq17 Absolutely they have... that's what this was used for. The U.S. Navy had 2 of these coupled together through a gear box to run a generator that powered electronic mine sweeping equipment.

  • why?

  • @gavandtaz If you have to ask you'll never understand.

  • Dam that started quickly..

  • @TurbineJesse my compliments to the chef. for keepin ghtis thing going. love jet engines of all flavors. well done

  • @SargentBlah troll much? lol

  • @Takhar7 Have you ever tried to make orange juice with it?

  • The engine has an RGB attached to the power turbine that, combined with the pitch assembly, slows the prop RPM down to a couple thousand RPM. Most of your bike motors run at around 14 thousand RPM and use a transmission to change that high RPM into torque. An RGB is similar but functions differently and therefore this engine doesn't really work on a bike. 2000 shaft RPM on this engine has tons of torque behind it for spinning a huge prop at that speed not for a bike. 2 different things.

  • WOW, that motor must be one of the slowest Boeing EVER MADE by FAR. The bike videos on your website with this motor installed looks like the bike barely reaches 50 mph with this motor!!! What a waste of time and effort this must have been. It barely propels a 500 pound bike beyond 40-50 mph, JEEZ, LOL, LOL.

  • don't these take a lot of fuel to run?
