I set up my burn barrels with a hole in the bottom and a fan flowing into it and it gets just as red hot and burns with extreme speed! Its called a rocket stove I believe and it make sense cause it makes like a 10 foot tall jet of fire xD
OK….. enough mucking around with these low temps 👍😎😎 the people want to see it full of tasi coal…. With a burning temp 4x that of wood and a much longer burn time , that should give the people what they want. Although Maybe needs to be done way from the hay paddock 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Also a slide valve on a long pole might be worth looking into.
yeah, use star pickets on the legs to pin it to the ground, get a remote set-up happening and let her feed!! also I wanna see a whole woolies chicken go through the intake.
Consider adding a shroud around the turbo, with a slight air gap, so that the exhaust gas flowing out the back helps pull in fresh air over the casing of the turbo for cooling. Might also increase thrust a bit.
I’m in the planning process for building one of these. That’s a fantastic idea. Create a Venturi effect to pull air past the hot housing. Could put a wee kero nozzle in too and it could double as an after burner hahahaha
It will increase thrust for sure introducing another venturi fresh burst of channelled air👍. Also if they put an annular cone flange on the rear behind turbine they have effectively created an actual jet engine with immense thrust!
@@1495978707 intercooler wouldn't help here. If anything it would make it worse by increasing combustion rates but the air will be reheated before it burns anyway.
You guys are mental! Playing with an enormous fire drum of death with attached flame thrower right adjacent to a paddock of hay and oil drum! Keep up the good work! This looks like a scary fun project
I am seriously considering building one of these. I live in Montreal and my apartment is not very well isolated and it can get pretty cold during the winter, so heating the apartment is a bit expensive on electricity. Using something like this linked to a generator would solve my heat problem and my electricity problem both at the same time! And the best thing is that I'm pretty sure just in my neighborhood I can cut enough trees to pass through at least 4 or 5 winters, all this for free!!
I think some internal baffles at the top of that thing would help a bit - if you can give the fire more time to actually burn before the hot gases hit the turbine you might be able to get a bit more fuel-efficient while also delivering less heat directly to the turbine housing.
That's what real jet engines have as well. The actual flame tube is in the center and there are baffles surrounding it, so a part of the boost air is bypassed and used to cool the combustion gases before they enter the turbine, keeping the turbine inlet temperature low.
If you guys added water injection your turbines wouldn't overheat and you would make waaayyyy more power. it would only require a water nozzle and a water pump. You need to build a good intake manifold ( an exhaust manifold might be good too, or a VGT) to manage the power. Also might want to chain it down to something.
yea! a cheap option could be one of those 1-5 gallon hand pump sprayers! Drill a hole in it and throw on a fitting for regulated air from a compressor to keep it pressurized xD
I "wood" be very curious to see how much electric power it could make with unrestricted airflow and some kind of high-rpm alternator attached. Maybe use a 2nd turbo with the compressor removed as the alternator attachment area, driven by exhaust from this turbo?
Ok, hear me out. With rocket engines they often use “wet ethanol” that contains about one third water to keep the temperature down but pressures high. I was intending to try this in a toy airplane jet. But, have you considered water injection into the burner/turbine wheel area to create steam, increase the volume of exhaust and drop the temperature at the same time.
My only question being, how do I compete with the pressure to be able to inject water at the flange of the turbine? a good pump with a small copper nozzle?
@@BobbyMcBoost Agricultural spay pump or good old fuel pump should give enough. Or you pressurise the water container with “cold” air out of the compressor. Try not let liquid water hit the actual turbine wheel.
Why not put an alternator on the turbo shaft so you can draw some electricity while it is running? This will also slow down the turbo so it doesn't self destruct so fast.
So thoughts for the future. 55 gallon drum filled with water. Put the tank in it to keep the walls of your burn furnace cool and lower the temp on the down pipe. If you wanna be extra have a second 55 gallon drum hooked up with a water pump to cycle water so it gets fresh cool water. Second. A pipe for the air intake so you don't have to be literally standing next to your jet engine your stress testing. I recomend...55 feet. A three foot pipe will put you a safe distance though. Plus you can put a little slide cover on it so you don't have to have the clothing iron to plug the air inlet lol.
Awesome project I made a jet engine in the 90s with F12 Volvo truck turbo running on diesel had the diesel going through heating coil inside the combustion chamber to vaporizer it before injecting back into the combustion chamber . But you should try just raw diesel inlet of compressor the spinning compressor will vaporizer fuel so after the wood is depleted you should be able to still keep the turbo running on the diesel good luck and don't blow yourself up and keep the videos coming
For PTO you take a second turbo and run the primary turbo exhaust through the secondary ...remove compressor wheel on secondary ...connect to generator
Need a boost gauge and a wastegate setup on it so you don't have to keep choking it. That way, it burns better and not as hot. You could also inject old oil into the pressure side after the turbo to keep it spinning while burning off the old oil at the same time. Would recommend putting an exhaust on it then though.
As we say down here in Texas, that dog will hunt! Great job, i agree with the comments on self throttling it will be more efficent and get you a longer burn time.
Now make a jet pipe with only a slight nozzle off the exhaust to throw cool flames, and try to make a proper combustor where you throttle it with the amount of air coming in under the wood, and let the rest of the compressed air come in after the wood and before the exhaust turbine, or have it come in the jet pipe to afterburn all the unburned stuff stuff that escapes.
I would really put some mesh in front of that turbo intake. The opening is huge and it could easily suck in objects which would make it a really bad day really fast.
Super awesome. On the cold air inlet side run a shaft to a generator and run some lights off it. So you can see better. What I have seen from other's who build this is propulsion of bicycles.
That’d make one hell of a camp water heater!!! Awesome!! Maybe make a flange for the turbo exhaust to have a stepped tube header pipe mounted. Should increase the boost a bit. Also, How about two turbos in series??? Keep on Keepin’ on !
Gotta get a nozzle/bell for that thing and see how fast she'll push a boat. it would be glorious to see a little fishing boat rolling coal, sounding like an aircraft, ripping across the water with a glowing R2-D2 all pissed off in the back
try to divert part of the air to the top part of the burner, so u can regulate the flow with valves and lower the exit temp, and then u can have more boost safly.
Try to cool it down with water spray, it wil turn to steam with with those temperatures, is also done in the pro-stock diesels in tractor pulling. steam has 800 times the volume of water so it can provide even greater boost
You should try getting your hands on a double jacketed water heater and see how much you can heat up a pool of water if you burn the interior one and with a water pump on the outer one!
So pre-me saying ideas i want to point out that I’m not an expert, and y’all are the ones doing the hands on work! But anyhow: Judging by the flames on the expander turbine’s exhaust, i *think* there is unburnt “syngas” exiting there and burning once it reaches atmospheric oxygen. Basically the Wood will go through “Gasification” and/or “Pyrolysis” rather than full on combustion in certain circumstances, ESPECIALLY limited oxygen. This produces a bit of heat in the (incomplete) fire, but a bunch of Syngas (also known as “wood gas” in stuff using wood like this), and maybe some pyrolysis oil/tar (this can gunk up shit and is another thing to look out for). All that then gets carried with the exhaust gases and burns *on the expanding turbine* once it touches the atmosphere and gets enough oxygen to burn. I don’t quite know the solution, but here are some ideas i guess: - Make there be a bypass for the exhaust so it can undergo complete combustion, but just not all of that gas will spin up the exhaust turbine - Separate the Gasification from the Turbine (This would be much less of a meme sadly, but would basically be a wood gasifier (or charcoal gasifier for even more control!) that feeds it’s syngas into a “DIY Turbocharger Based Turbojet”. You could also run that jet off of other fuels, the fire would just become a fuel generator *maybe* linked by a timing belt or something. - Have a secondary air injection + combustion chamber after the wood bin (essentially air goes into the burn barrel, exhausts to a second chamber where more air is added, burns there, then goes to the exhaust turbine) - Just Treat the symptoms with more cooling (add an “intercooler” of sorts, water injection, water jacket around the combustion chamber, etc) (this has the bonus of added water heater / tea kettle) ! Either way those are just some of my armchair thoughts. I’ve always wanted to do a project like this (a solid fueled jet engine) so I absolutely LOVE this project, and will look forward to an update either way; Keep up the good work!
You may be able to increase efficiency and prolong the life of the turbo. Inject water into the pipe before the turbine. This will use the excess heat to produce steam to drive the turbine. It’ll also cool the turbine and help stop it melting.
Have you ever considered connecting the shaft to a load such as i donno, a ducted fan that cools the combustion chamber and exhaust? Bypass air makes more thrust, might love an after burner too!
You could cool it off too by just blowing into it with he leaf blower. When there is no fire, it will just circulate fresh air, cooling the thing down.
Hey McBoost If you continuing with solid fuel , you may have to study how bell hoppers on blast furnaces function to continuously feeds fuel inside . Ask around older people to look at at pressure cooker they have a very simple relief valve to regulate the internal pressure, no doubt yours will have alot bigger throat size but using nuts or washers as ballast it'll be adjustable to suit the blow off psi . I've a furnace ( 500 x 700 x 1000mm internal ) to heat steel in and I've a free unlimited supply of diesel and diesel sump oil mixture to atomise in it , originally ran on heating oil . And a number of years ago I had the same idea you're perfecting . Good on you
Needs a sparkplug and lead for easy ignition. Longer intake and longer exhaust. Internal baffles to limit solids blowing out and a rack to raise the height of the wood.
Do a compound turbojet. Feed the exhaust of this main one into an even bigger turbine that spins an even bigger compressor that feeds the compressor of this main turbo.
if it could hold the pressure, you might try one of those exhaust cutout valves on the charge pipe. That way if it sends to much you could easily cut the boost. Or if you could find a large enough ball valve. Another Idea would to be to fashion a old butterfly intake valve on the front of the turbo to regulate its air intake from a safer distance using a cable. Just some random thoughts i had!
How about a pump to push oil into the combustion chamber, you could fuel for as long as you had oil. As long as you can over come the boost, it may actually be self limiting.
What about connecting a power turbine to the business end, have it drive a generator to provide electricity, and a heat exchanger to the exhaust to provide hot water? You have a mini combined heat and power station for domestic use.
Throttle it with a large throttle body ahead of the turbo inlet? Also maybe pump some of the used oil into the burn chamber to keep it going after the wood runs out?
feed burn chamber some way or another making the thing also powered by super heated steam. perhaps water injection at inlet like done on internal combustion engines. or use an actual fuel nozzle to add diesel or jet A to the burn chamber to add BTU’s. would spool a massive turbo. may
This is the best idea ever for a garage jet engine builder, way more cooler than using propane, do you guys know who came up with this idea? It seems like some new stuff thats never been done before.
I has the idea and just put it all together myself after seeing a quick clip of a a turbo barrel getting on boost. It did use oil so I wanted it to only be wood, and it turns out it works really well. 🤌🤘
With the fresh turbo, even though it's massive compared to the original one, gets on boost and running on its own within 30seconds of the lid screwed down. It's Nuts.
You should send it with the return from the turbo feed into the barrel. Put the boost gauge back on it w a camera pointed at it, & the barrel, feed the barrel w oil from the turbo return side, rip the safety’s off, & walk away. Im thinking 50PSI of boost to grenade it all… or it’s probably making a ton as is rn.
It might be worth adding some sort of hearth or screen above the point where the charge pipe enters the barrel. That should allow the fuel to burn more evenly.
Put a screen of some kind on the hot end of the turbo to keep some of the debris out of the turbine. Or have a divider inside that separates where you build your fire and where your hot gasses are fed to your turbo. Coal is a hotter longer lasting fuel. If you had a way to spray water into the barrel with an injection system your steam would create bonus gas pressure! Like nitrous but less volatile. In theory. 😁😁😁
If you plan on making another I’d recommend an ash trap made from another tank half filled with water before the turbine a bit like an oil bath filter or like the common orchy bottle with 4” of garden hose hanging from it it would prevent killing the turbine from fod and heat
@@BobbyMcBoost The idea here is you have a second smaller barrel (e.g. LPG gas) and the exhaust comes out of the big barrel into the small barrel and then into the turbo - but going in to the small barrel it comes in the side on an angle so that it will swirl around so the heavy stuff sticks to the sides, image search "cyclone separator" for pictures. About the water, I would spray it into the exhaust stream before the separator. It cools the exhaust down and saves a bit the turbo, but more importantly it flashes off to steam making Even More Pressure...
I dont know how much wood you guys are putting in there but i would actually like to see if you could make a steam power generator or hotwater system out of this concept.
that was alright. I saw an American one the other day .. there's was a similar setup to yours and seemed to have alot better jet with more control over its fire output your turbo is massive tho .
This is hands down the most impressive thing I have ever seen firewood do
Have you seen it move a Tiger tank?

Better twin turbo it then😁
attach it to a bong on full boost and watch it rip a cone in 0.0053 seconds.

Was thinking that too, maybe have xx% of the turbo oil drain into the chamber
Load it with 10 litres of oil and have the boost bubbling through it.
Killer job fellas.
Coal, a throttle body ,heavier weight oil and an after burner. Also vortex cooling like on some jets
What about connecting a power turbine to the business end, have it drive a generator to provide electricity, and a heat exchanger to the exhaust to provide hot water? You have a mini combined heat and power station for domestic use.
The shaft is one piece. 1:1 with the compressor wheel. Could just run it off the front 😆
Need to be collecting some data for when you build the “ultimate” version. Need tank pressure and temps. Also EGT on turbo. Ridiculously entertaining
you could see what boost pressure it got up to, maybe have some used eng oil feed to the base of the fire to keep it going, just an idea !
Throttle it with a large throttle body ahead of the turbo inlet? Also maybe pump some of the used oil into the burn chamber to keep it going after the wood runs out?

How do you prevent charcoal pieces from going into the exhaust turbine? Nice burn barrel, greetings from Sweden.
You dont 😂
You should send it with the return from the turbo feed into the barrel.
Put the boost gauge back on it w a camera pointed at it, & the barrel, feed the barrel w oil from the turbo return side, rip the safety’s off, & walk away.
Im thinking 50PSI of boost to grenade it all… or it’s probably making a ton as is rn.
I wonder how would work bypass chamber and that air with valve, let some cold air go straight to turbine inlet.
It might be worth adding some sort of hearth or screen above the point where the charge pipe enters the barrel. That should allow the fuel to burn more evenly.
you can easily make an afterburner and have the craziest turbojet ever. might even make some decent thrust.
I am very open to an easy to build afterburner! 🤘🤘😜 hit me up!
please tell me he got back to you with some plans. if not let me know and I'll send you something
Na heard nothing... yeah man send it through on my Instagram!
Put a screen of some kind on the hot end of the turbo to keep some of the debris out of the turbine. Or have a divider inside that separates where you build your fire and where your hot gasses are fed to your turbo. Coal is a hotter longer lasting fuel. If you had a way to spray water into the barrel with an injection system your steam would create bonus gas pressure! Like nitrous but less volatile. In theory. 😁😁😁
Hell yeah I go to sleep watching ur video and wake up and there's more 😂
If you plan on making another I’d recommend an ash trap made from another tank half filled with water before the turbine a bit like an oil bath filter or like the common orchy bottle with 4” of garden hose hanging from it it would prevent killing the turbine from fod and heat
I am intrigued but not quiet following. What can i google so this pops up?? 🤣
@@BobbyMcBoost sounds like a double chamber setup lol
@@BobbyMcBoost The idea here is you have a second smaller barrel (e.g. LPG gas) and the exhaust comes out of the big barrel into the small barrel and then into the turbo - but going in to the small barrel it comes in the side on an angle so that it will swirl around so the heavy stuff sticks to the sides, image search "cyclone separator" for pictures. About the water, I would spray it into the exhaust stream before the separator. It cools the exhaust down and saves a bit the turbo, but more importantly it flashes off to steam making Even More Pressure...
You could prolly build a blast furnace with this concept
I bet you could cook a full steak meal (steak, mashed potatoes, vegetables, etc) if you strap it to the outside of that barrel
Chuck in a heap of parachute flares in for wood or maybe some vw engine block bits could be interesting !
Boost gauge!!! Wonder how many psi she’s pushing?
The other video he takes it up to 10psi then chokes it back
I wonder if you hooked up some sort of load and what sort of Power you are making. Wood-powered
drag car?
With a watercooled turbo you could make really hot water with it.
The most dangerous part is the lubricating of it with oil.
You need to fit a after burner to start with if you want to use thrust as drive
She will still thrust, 😜 pushed the big girl over in an older video 😆🤘
He is the new FIRE fighter
That was wicked🍻
Yeah, maybe do it in wintertime so the cockies don't get pissed off when you set thier farm on fire 😂
I dont know how much wood you guys are putting in there but i would actually like to see if you could make a steam power generator or hotwater system out of this concept.
Put a throttle body on the turbo so you can stand back abit and control it then fill it to the bring with briquettes and light it
that was alright. I saw an American one the other day .. there's was a similar setup to yours and seemed to have alot better jet with more control over its fire output your turbo is massive tho .
Was there's using just wood as fuel?? 👍👍
@@BobbyMcBoost I think so ? it definitely had the same tank it was recognisable !!
@@BobbyMcBoost have you thought about making a compound turbo system ? all I heard was jet engine lol ua-cam.com/video/QRTFjYsX5vI/v-deo.html
