Horace -

What a beautiful piece for a casting! To my mind, lost wax has no peer.

Congratulations!

Thanks, Larry.

It was vacuum melt, centrifugal casted within a vacuum chamber. When puring melted metal, I can even observe through sightglass the inside of the vacuum chamber. Nice equipments, but no I don't want to own these equipments, too noisy and too expensive.

Finally I've found something innovative regarding my turbine wheel. The world's first turbine made Christmas tree !

Oh Christmas tree oh Christmas tree...

Oh Christmas tree oh Christmas tree...

Suits every desk...really nice!
Can I order such a unique tree at a local (serious) Christmas tree dealer?

I know that song...it's "Oh Tannenbaum, oh Tannenbaum" in german I think.

Horace,
I can tell you are as happy as a clam at high tide. Very whimsical of you to recite some lyrics, yet I got the jocularity I think, a good feeling of pride well deserved.
Merry Christmas,
Mark

Thanks, MK.

This batch of 304 turbine is for casting tryout only, it won't be made any more. I'll send these turbines to take electric coating for display purpose.

I went to a lathe workshop this afternoon and worked together with the operator, and get my turbines bored with the aid of a boring jig. So glad I made this jig so useful.

Hey Mike, It seems that you are familiar with Russian and Germany, even Spanish if I am not mistaken ?

OK, I know "Turbinbaum" means turbine tree in "Germanish" Wanna try my "Taiwanish" ? :-)

I think you might be interested, but my turbine wheels have passed the X Ray exam. I've posted the picture in my website, which picture is located in an article named "turbine". Please come and take a look !

Horace,

How much are you envisioning selling the turbine wheel for?

Do you have any ball-park figure for the cost of a fully assembled engine?

Awesome work!
