im new here but i have been browsing the site and find it very interesting,
My question is , i have a garrett variable vane turbo that i wish to use for a jet turbine engine.
Has anyone used or heard of using a V V turbo for a jet engine? i was thinking i could remove the vacuum operated vane actuator and use a throttle type lever to control the vanes manually to act like some sort of control mechanism for the engine,
if its not possible then i guess i can just lock it in one position.
Also, what difference does a nozzle have on the engines performance regarding normal operation. i know that they are for making thrust but if i attach one to my engine will it run better?
Is there somwhere i can find out what size i need to make my combustion chambers etc?
I plan to run it on kerosene using a constant spark source and low pressure injectors. like those found in a diesel burning hot water unit in high pressure cleaners etc.
Thanks in advance! i am very keen to make an engine now
