Homemade Jet Engine
Checkout www.wppe.co.uk . This is my latest homemade jet engine. It has taken three years to design, make and test. A new lighter, smaller and more powerful engine is on the way!

    Please dont angry... Try to flow the hot air from exhause , into outlet chamber (will added preser turbine) , and... Make another branch exhause , IN the first exhause... ( It's Not AFTER BURNER , ... buy the way...) That's will make more eficient of avture... Please try.... That will be a new generation of jet engine...

    Btw... I made a new rotary engine... Now , I turn air drill , but on future , may , that system will use... and all the world knew , there is a new kind of rotary engine... From Indonesia... I want to know... At first , did RR buy ... Or make agreement with Mr. Nicholas Otto , because use Piston Engine for driven...??? And if... If improve that New Rotary Engine , have make agreement buy using Air Drill , which have patented...??? Please wacthing " Home made Engine" There is mine... Overthere...

    Ok, I know I'm late to the party here, but I have seen video after video of people trying to make engines out of soup cans and bicycle parts. I'm very happy to finally see someone who took the time to do the math first, and use proper materials. Good job. Several years ago I build one by Kurt schreckling (sorry, I know I misspelled that), and have thought about trying my own design, but I just can't get over how many people are really screwing this up. Someone is going to get seriously hurt by these soup can engines. Anyway, great job to you, and thanks for a great video.

    • @Draylogic

      All the required parts that assemble the brunt of the engine are bolted together. Only these parts have welds in them and that is for stuff like flanges and guide veins

    Where did you learn the mathematics necessary for this?

    • @willplayford
      @willplayford 9 років тому

      The maths is pretty straight forward - it's the understanding of thermodynamics which is a little harder to get your head round. There's a book called Model Jet Engines, by Thomas Kamps which guides you through the practical process of designing an engine. It's excellent. There's another one called Gas Turbine Theory, by Saravanamuttoo which goes into more depth on the theory side of things - also very good.

      William Playford Jeez, I didn't expect a response that quickly! Thank you. Out of interest, how's progress on the second engine coming along?

    • @willplayford
      @willplayford 9 років тому

      +Patrick Bateman The second engine has been on hold for a few years now - it's half built. Hopefully I'll find the time to pick it up again soon. I'm working on a new espresso machine design now, which uses some similar thermodynamics to the engine. I should have a video of that up soon.

    • @Firespectrum122
      @Firespectrum122 9 років тому

      William Playford Good to know. Does the book deal with things like how to make the engine self-sustain?

    • @willplayford
      @willplayford 9 років тому

      +Patrick Bateman Yes it does. Whether the engine self sustains or not, is down to how well you have designed and made the thing. If the engine generates more energy than it is consumes, then it will self sustain.

    • @willplayford
      @willplayford 8 років тому

      Great stuff! Yes, I definitely was. I built something very similar a long time ago. It didn't run. A good starting point is to build an engine from a turbo-charger - you'll just need access to a welder and an angle grinder.

  • @drdistorzion
    @drdistorzion 9 років тому

    Did you try with a curved inlet? it should give the engine a much better inlet airflow. If you take an electric ducted fan and test it with and without a curved inlet, you can easily hear the extra noise created byt he disrupted airflow if you don't use the curved inlet and the air goes past the sharp edges, creating a turbulent air flow. This should be especially important for static tests.

  • @EnglishTurbines
    @EnglishTurbines 10 років тому

    Its self sustaining ok....the only problem you seem to have is a very high temperature in the NGV section. This is down to combustor design. For such a large engine, it looks a little on the short side, which means you could afford to make the Combustor longer. Are you using reverse flow vapourising tubes in your Combustor?, if not, then I suggest you try them. I made my own engine also, some years ago..I have a flight clip up if your interested....Dont you find the comments amusing from those who dont know what the hell they are talking about? Some of them are priceless...:)

  • @zbeast
    @zbeast 10 років тому

    Say William... what was the final thrust in LB's did you get from this engine. Also was it throttleable at all? Most jet engines of this size tend to runway or won't let you dial down the thrust without flaming out.

      There are or were several books on the subject.. www.amazon.com/Model-Jet-Engines-Modellers-World/dp/0951058991 But over all it's really not worth the time. Small jet engines are hard to build and requires solid engineering. This is the first video where I've seen someone take the time to preform resonance analysis on the shaft, which is a major point of failure for small jet engines.. Once again great work... but I have better things to do with 3 years.

  • @tuttuti123
    @tuttuti123 10 років тому

    Put a fan blade in front of the compressor blade and make another airflow for the fan. That can make a lot of thrust.

    • @patman0250
      @patman0250 8 років тому

      that would be a turbo fan and it most likely wont work because it need to make that extra power to turn the turbine and the turbo fan .. it most likely doesn't have to power to work both .. you have to specifically design a jet engine to work a turbo fan .. he would have to put in more compressor stages instead on just one .. but its not likely to work a such a small engine that why you don't see turbo fans on jet engines of this size
