I've made my own turbine engine out of an old diesel engine turbo. In less than five days of building I had the first results, which can be seen in this video. It now runs on gas, but I want it to run on diesel.
Please take a look at my other videos for way more jet engine fun!

  • what kind of bearrings are int hat thing? you toast a bearring its gonna hurt

  • hydrostatic bearings, like in most normal turbos. If I toast them, it could hurt yes, but that is why I make sure that the oil system is ok before running. During running I monitor the oil pressure and temperature

  • I'm gunna make one of these. Can I use a truck engine? Those things are big right massive so it would be cooler, but would LPG be good enough. Were do I get instructions berndsen1984?

  • You need a turbocharger, not a truck engine. The turbocharger can be used from a truck engine, but it won't be cooler, because relatively it needs the same amount of energy to make some usable power. LPG would be a good place to start. Instructions?, sorry there are no instructions. You can watch my other videos and you can start googling like I did to build mine.

  • how are you running this on gas? is the fule just being sucked in to the combustion chamber from the gas tank or do you have some sort of fule pump?

  • The engine runs on LPG (Liquified Petroluem Gas) and it is under pressure, so the only thing needed is a line to the combustion chamber. No fuel pump needed.
