Jet kart on the road again

Another video of my home build jet-kart. This time I reached a top speed of 80km/h with pure thrust. Slowly but steady progress is made. I'm working on a freepower setup as well, which is going to drive the wheels. This should give me more speed and acceleration. It is going to take some time though

get a better filter for that thing. the laminar flow rating on a flat mesh screen is going to really mess with your CFM. That thing is awesome though you are making me want to build one

[berndsen1984]

@NoSleepRacing I know, it does have influence on the airflow, but I didn't have something better at that time, so this was better than nothing at all. I really don't want anything getting sucked in there, that messes up a whole lot more than just the airflow.

hallo i would like to ask you if the end of the flametube touches the end cap of the combustion chamber or you have a bypass area?All fresh air is going inside the holes of the flametube or some is bypassed in order to cool the metal tubes and the gases?

[berndsen1984]

@flaps20check My flametube is touching the end caps of the combustion chamber, so all the air is force through holes in the flametube. My flametube is divided in three sections of holes. Primary zone, lots of small holes for fuel/air mixing and combustion. Secundairy zone slightly less and bigger holes for fuel/air mixing and combustion and the tertiary zone with even less and larger holes for cooling the hot gasses.

hallo,what do you think about an afterburner using a jet nozzle without changing the diameter of the jet pipe,just keep it as the turbine exducer,running on propane?

[berndsen1984]

@flaps20check Using a afterburner with a jet nozzle the same size as the turbines exducer could work. I think it is a good place to start. Before you go down the afterburner road you should first get the engine to work without the afterburner. Just to get to know the engine, get it to work reliable. At a later stage you can think about getting an afterburner.

@berndsen1984 You can call companies like k&n and get cfm ratings on there filters. Increasing your volumetric efficiency will help out your thrust. again though awesome project man

I would so love to makes some many cool things from that jet engine

lol u sick son of a bitch thats awsome be careful out there bro
