Thanks, still here i am looking for job.. need some cash before i can start this again.

Redelf.. Maybe you can visit a University and beg to use their machine shop and materials, or just ask them to make it for you. :D I like your idea. Sure there is some slight twisting.. but Your idea about pre-twisting the petals sound good. The tip of the petals will twist on a radius right.. so i ...

Ok.. i am ready to ask the next question.. I had an issue with Starting.. I have used a backpack leaf Blower and a compressor before.. just to cumbersome and no fine control. I noticed that some have used a hand held leaf blower and some people use a Small high rev- electric motor. On my next build ...

Hello, Ash Powers..Good work again..

What influenced your choice of aluminum for the bearing housing? Why not steel/Cast iron?

Seems kool... i can see that the gas can help to atomize the liquid as it exit's the nozzle.

I was thinking of just doing liquid alone. One of my major problems was proper metering of the fuel.. Two types of fuel at the same time might make it harder to control.

I used a Power steering pump from a Toyota coupled with a Radiator fan motor and a small grooved belt .. Works well.. It was too strong actually i was getting around 100psi out of it so i had to make a bypass valve to lower the pressure.

Noted, Thanks again..

I really want to switch from propane to diesel/kerosene but i will search around first before i ask any more questions..

The westinghouse flame tubes looked somewhat like this..but inside had Three circular Swirlers suspended in the middle. They were also coated in a thick rough white material.. Should it be more like these? How would you determine the hole sizes and locations? Is there any books with the appropriate ...

Thanks for the reply. I have to go back to my drawings for the dimensions. My memory is a little fuzzy since i made it last year. The propane injector was one single axial hole. At first it was a 1mm sized hole then i increased to 2.5mm.. Inducer of the compressor is 46mm.. or around 1.8" The Chambe...

Great Work.. the attention to detail and discipline is astounding!

Ok.. regarding the Combustor.. this is what i have.. just a regular can shape. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v626/nsmikle/exhaustend.jpg I tried to make it a counter flow.. as in the air enters from the bottom of the combustor makes a U-turn through the flame tube then heads into the primary tur...

Great work! i am impressed with the turbine and stator!

Hey all.. I have been reading this site now and then, just checking out the scene. :mrgreen: I have done 3 gas turbine projects before. The first two were crude but somewhat successful.. The last one was a turbo-shaft.. I actually calculated it for it.. I had a proper oil system in place too.. What ...
