Heres the first run of my homebuilt turbojet
The racket at the beginning is an electric drill I am using to run the oil pump , a dc motor will be used later
The long winded start up is due to the fact that I forgot to reduce the oil pressure for starting,
I currently have no temperature or rpm indicators , so I am "eyeballing it " thus the mirror , watching for visible heat in the turbine wheel and keeping combustor pressure below 10 psig ,
All for now ,
