In some wierd way 3-d Printing is both useless AND indispensable......

New video running the Engine from a cigarette lighter refill canister:

Just wanted to share my most recent gas turbine build, I call it "The Hair Fryer"
STL-files etc. will soon be available.

Thank you guys!

Just barley entered the flight test phase. All technical details will be in the book to come.
During this very first flight the engine ran on pure propane. I have been experimenting with
propane-diesel mix that seems promising. The exhaust smells jet-ish in a lovely way as well…

In progress...

It is not perfect, but it flies!

I just have to show you guys what I did yesterday, even though it is off topic:

Hi People have been asking for more information regarding an EDF afterburner shown on you tube, and I thought that it might be of interest for some members of this forum as well. The kit is out of stock, but the original building instruction that came with the kit is now available as a free download...

Thanks! I was glad when you showed up earlier in the tread, I kind of thought that I would have issues that I would need expertise help to straighten out..... but so far, so good! Yes, I will re-position the setup on the test bench in higher speed runs further on so that I do not stand in harms way....

So I finally bought a 1000C max K-type sensor needed to measure the EGT. I have only conducted a few measurements at rather low throttle settings so far. At around 14k rpm the hottest spot directly behind the turbine (20mm away from the turbine blades) is 590C. I have to make further tests with a la...

I changed the needle size from 0.33mm to 0.25mm. The throttle control is better now as a result of the change.There is a little throttle lag compared to running on LGP. I ran the motor up to 22.500rpm which is about 60% of full speed, in this 2:1 build. I’m still using the 0.5mm thin turbine wheel. ...

The Schreckling design is not bad, and with a total of about 2 meter stainless steel vapour sticks the diesel turns into flammable white smoke! I’m practicing the starting procedure and can now easily start the motor with a small disposable butan/propan bottle as preheat source. This makes every thi...

Still waiting for the thicker SS material to arrive. In mean time I made a turbine of even thinner 0.5mm stainless steel...which works fine as a test turbine. I have put a thicker plain steel washer in the centre to stabilize the flimsy turbine disc though... I fixed the fuel leak and run it success...

Right now I’m waiting for some thicker SS material for a new more rigid turbine to arrive. I did a shorter test run on pure diesel anyway, and it seems promising. I had a serious hot spot that I think is related to a leak in the fuel line that I have to fix before next attempt. One thing that was di...

Looking good!

The compressor diffuser vanes are pointing in the wrong direction though.

You sure could have fun with a pair of those!
