Jet Engine Does Not Like Gasoline

- A few viewers have suggested that I try to run a 50/50 mix of Gasoline and Diesel in the jet engine so I did and this is what it looks like.
as you can see the jet engine did not like the gasoline at all, the only other thing in the mix was some turbine oil for the bearings. so 50% Gasoline, 50% Diesel and 5% Turbine Oil. - Розваги
I’m sure his neighbors love him lol
Definitely
I would love to his neighbor, these dudes are way cooler than them car enthusiasts
Your turbine does in fact like gasoline, and will happily run on it. A turbine can use any liquid fuel you chuck at it.
Your problem here is that gasoline is very volatile, so your turbine is drinking it too fast. You need to use the old Air Force trick, and cut your gas with 20-25% diesel. Try it, I promise it's working !
Well this was 50%/50% Gasolina and diesel. My only guess is that maybe I have to change some settings for the Fuel curve.
@@WarpedLab I think "jet a" is 20% gasoline, it's used in cold weather on 747. Jet b is like strait kerosene.
Looks like it runs hot tho. How does that turbine handle the excessive turbine Temps? The Garrett one I built will melt if I mess up the starting sequence, bit runs perfectly once it's going.
@@WarpedLab Apologies, my bad there! That sure ought to work.
It does look like you are experiencing continuous compressor stalls, but it's difficult to hear if that's the case, as it's a tiny engine.
I believe it's easy to remedy. Usually this kind of stalling is due to advancing the throttle with too much enthusiasm. Try retarding the throttle all the way back to idle. Then you start advancing again, but very slowly and carefully. Just advance a tiny notch, and let the turbine temperature stabilize for a while. Then Advance a tiny notch again, and let it stabilize, and so forth, until you reach 100% thrust. That ought to do the trick.
Good luck !
@@nilamotk Backwards. Jet B is cold weather and has gasoline in it.
@@HSKFabrications yes my mistake.
Omg the title has me rollin 🤣 I love everything you do ♥️ ty 🤣🤣🤣
I mean it would look really cool on a plane zooming round 👍🏼

Unthinkable please consider DME (dimethyl ether) as a fuel. It has the same mixing and storage conditions as propane, but the speed of combustion is MUCH faster.
That would be cool to use on Sunday mornings in my hood. Lol.
Also the octane and flash point isn't as hot as jet fuel so it may be looking for a certain temp for a period of time. As a safety it shuts down.
Thats one hell of a boot loop
Jet engines love gasoline, as long as you have a fuel system tuned for it. The specific gravity doesn't match that of jet-a, so it runs poorly
Jus curious, why do you have part of the screen covered?
That's exciting
Omg! Someone finally ran a jet engine on gasoline! And who better to do that than you?! Thank you WP/ The Mind Behind! Maybe more fuel on gasoline? Or is it automatically controlled?
i figure that it makes sense though. it’s trying to use compression to ignite a fuel that is specifically formulated to not ignite under those conditions.
No its not, the ignition comes from an ignitor and then sustained by the continuous flame
Eeerm, no....
The problem is the gasoline is burning way too fast in the superheated combustion chamber. Basically, as soon as the aerosol is hitting the flame holder, it's literally gone again.
@@thefreedomguyuk oh, so that's why it produces such long flames? it is not possible to mix well with the air and it produces a less efficient combustion?
@@Franco_FC I was slightly off the point, as I didn't catch the crucial point that it's running 50/50 gas diesel. But to keep things simple, then yes, the flame is unburnt fuel which runs straight through and ignite in the exhaust.
What about running it on E85
tune it properly and try again.
Also tune it for 75% Ethanol and 25% water.
Should give you way more thrust at lower temps.
Man I want one
I love your videos with that said this is a dumb question. You said that the gas might be to thin or thinner is there something you can put in gas to make it thicker to help?
Thanks!! Well it was half diesel and half gas so it was much thinner than regular diesel or even jet fuel for that matter
Corn starch
What if you added a 100 percent alcohol concentration to the gasoline diesel mix? Cause it would be very thick if you first did that one thing those boys did in a old rocket movie that turned the alcohol into like a thick putty
Add cleaning alcohol and put Polyacrylic acid in it to thicken it up and mix it with the gasoline to create something combustible but thick and therefore making gasoline work with jet engines
Theoretically speaking at least
I wonder how would jet engine like anhydrous ethanol
How much thrust ?
How about vegetable oil
Jet A 18:1 AFR
Gasoline 13:1 AFR
wouldn't the gasoline cause either too low compression ignition pressures or too high a temp in the combustion chamber?
They don't compression ignite
No
Should try e85 in it
Has higher octane so it might work better but the afr for jet fuel is like 18:1 and e85 is 9.75:1 so thats still an issue
So I suppose %100 gasoline would not work ?
How would it run on propane or butane?
Yes it should work no problem running on LPG. Still needs turbine oil injection though
@@sandyleask92 would run with a 2 stroke mix would oil the turbine while running? Silly question
@@THatChevyguy91 not a silly question at all dude. I wouldn't do it as 2 stroke oils burn at pretty low temperatures. A turbine and its bearings get hell hot. 2 stroke oil would probably cause carbon build up and jam up the bearings. If I was to use something in a hurry it would be fully synth oils with as high possible temperature resistance >=200°c
interesting, and the engine can run on pure diesel?
Indeed. It can run on literally anything. The only trouble with Diesel is the high number of impurities it contain.
Indeed
Put whiskey pls
I am not sure but I think kerosene has more BTUs that gasoline. You can start a really huge bonfire with a gallon of kerosene and a cup of gas. Good luck lighting pure kerosene, though!
Looks like your running out of fuel pressure
Flame throwa (idk if someone commented this yet cuz im not going to check) :/
Kontext!?
A video request by a few people, I was testing it out here before deciding to actually film it.
Ya no shit they don’t like gasoline
