WASP test run

Post by skyfrog » Sat Feb 24, 2007 8:57 pm

Hi all,

After spending almost a year experimenting on the new tooling method for making WASP turbine wheel, experienced 7 design changes, now we finally got the new wasp wheel running nicely !

Here's a video clip of wasp, recording a test run that was done a year ago. Powered by the old turbine wheel, the old wasp design put out 18lbf of thrust. Now with our new turbine wheel, WASP puts out 20lbs of thrust ! Phill will upload a more up to date video clip in a week I think.

You can check on my website there is a picture of new wasp wheel.
Long live jet engine !
