MICRO TURBINE JET ENGINE BEING BROKEN IN.
ENGINE HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN ABOVE HALF THROTTLE BUT EXPECT 25 LBS OF THRUST MIN.
FUEL IS a K1 KEROSENE / ALCOHOL BLEND , FUEL PUMP WAS MADE FROM A WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID PUMP FROM THE JUNK YARD. , THROTTLED BY OUR PWM ( pulse width modulator) .. seems to work great but could use a higher PSI.
PLAN TO MOUNT THIS TO A CUSTOM BUILT 1/4 SCALE RC BOAT OR MAYBE MY CANOE.. WELL SEE HOW FAST SHE GOES. STAY TUNED FOR MORE VIDEOS.

  • its pretty simple.. go to any junk yard and get a washer fluid 12V pump.. use our pwm to control the pump speed. both will work on a 9V battery.

  • It's amazing what a delicate balance it has to be in so it doesn't flameout. I have a P80 JetCat and I never realized how much the ECU is regulating everything so my jet doesn't crash.

    It looks like your combustion chamber leaks at low RPM. Not sure what's happening, but at high revs it sounds very smooth!

    Also, why aren't you using the starter motor on the front to dial in the self-start feature built into this turbine?

  • It was easier to use just air so I could control the rpms up and down a bit..

    Im using a pulse width modulator instead of an ecu.. it sends a dc pulse to the pump motor .. the frequency is set way too high for the pulse as it is designed to control a hydrogen cell.. but seems to work great .. We have a new microproccessor controller for our pwm unit ... i can maintain specific speeds with it with no stalling ..

  • what does running it rich accomplish other than flames out of the tailpipe?

  • Makes a pretty good flame thrower, how does it do cooking hot dogs and marshmallows?

  • i need 6 smaller ones and 2 regular sizes ones (no homo)

  • @matt7048 safer for an engine.

  • Gettin' high on those fumes?

  • did you build that

  • @matt7048

    Nothing.

  • Do u need pressure to inject tha fule or does it get sucked in by itself?

  • roasting marshmallows

  • not all that exciting? anything shooting 4 feet of fire is pretty exciting to me
