Jet engine MK1 water injection.avi

This is the latest set of test runs, made at afternoon 19th February, 2011. This is a video compilation of some of those events. I did some extended full power test runs and some water injection tests. Since I didn't have a comprehensive set of instrumentation nor a data logger, the yield of these experiments remains barren. The test were none the less quite successfull, considering the harsh conditions I was testing the engine in.

After these runs it was obvious the engine would need to be rebuilt due to the large number of small shortcomings and deficiencies still lurking in the system. However, since I no longer have a space to store it, the engine is going under the hammer.

Next, the MK1 will be dismantled, cut to pieces and boxed for good. Some of the parts can be utilized in my future projects while some are simply scheduled for scrapyard. It's not the destiny I originally intended for it over seven years ago, but times change and new projects sometimes must take the mantle from their predecessors...
