That’s such a tidy job you’ve done on the the control panel layout and pressure chamber everything is perfect also love that spy/peek hole it’s a nice touch
Really nice job. I haven't built these in many years back when I made the JetSpecs program (prob so outdated now!). Great work! One of mine used an ST50 as well, great sized turbo for such a project.
“I’ve subscribed.” Hey get a mirror to look up that tailpipe Sir. Don’t catch any debris, watch the plane of rotation.. I know you know this, just my silly concerns here.. you Rock Sir, I, following think this is so cool!😮
That cherry red color means wasted energy. I assume the goal is THRUST!!!? Add steam as Tesla did. More thrust (mass expelled equals more thrust) while preventing the engine from melting from all that excess wasted heat.
Great job! I am also working on a project like that. One problem I have is finding an oilpump for the project. Maybe someone could give me a tip? Would really appreciate your help!
I have wanted to make a turbine jet engine from an old auto turbo since i saw one on you tube years ago. I just got a garrett turbo off a desiel Mack. I know the basics and have been making crude pulse jets and forced induction jets but have been self taught from reading abd expermitation. What is a good source for the math and basic geometry of the combustion chamber size/ ratio to intake and exhaust diameters? Is your primary cc between the air outlet tube and exhaust inlet tube ( under the main turbo you have) and is the long tube placed after the exhaust outlet on yours an afterburner which spools up the turbines by pulling as opposed the primary cc as pushing? Correct me if i am wrong. Awesome set up by the way....i have a LONG way to go. Lol
It uses a fuel vaporizing system, 3 radially located nozzles on the chamber inject fuel into corresponding tubes welded into the chamber diffuser. A standard Suntec fuel oil pump provides the flow. A needle valves controls the pressure.
Great build. Really clean. ST-50 was a really popular turbo back in the day. Where did you find that sight glass at. Your ebay item number doesn't show anything. Also how did you make that throttle assembly?
I can't find the listing for that particular sight glass anymore, but if you search for "fused sight glass" to find a suitable replacement. The throttle is just a standard 1/4 npt needle valve.
@@MrTurboturbine Mcmaster Carr has a good collection. how is your sight glass holding so far. Is it Quartz or just glass? I run my engine upto to 32 psi chamber pressure. Did you sue a 1 inch side. Pressure rating goes down with size as well.
@@JetEnginesIndia I believe it would be borosilicate/Pyrex. But glass would be fine, not polycarbonate. It doesn't need high ratings, 250 F 100 PSI is more than enough, unless it's in direct flame contact, you might need something more exotic.
good job Sir, I'm working on a system like yours but the difference is that I will use biomass Poudre as the source, I have a question and I hope you will answer me as soon as possible, which is the type of oil pump and the filter you are using for the lubricant system?? can you give me the link to those 2 pieces? thanks
I never heard of mixing the two, but no one sells kerosene around here anyway, I think the difference would be immeasurable. Instead I use a fuel additive which claims to be a combustion catalyst...
@@MrTurboturbine sorry i didn't mean mixing them i meand use one or the other. They are very nearly the same thing. Kerosene burns just i bit easier than diesel though. Off road diesel is cheaper with no taxes. Diesel and kersosine are both pretty much the same as jet fuel. That is why i asked.
Hi, I'm in the process of building a similar jet. I'm using a 68mm journal bearing turbo from a diesel truck. I'm stuck trying to find oil pressure info. Please can you tell me what oil weight you use and at what oil pressure you run at? Thanks for any help.
Anywhere between 15 and 30 psi is fine. I adjust the speed of the pump to adjust oil pressure. I use normal 10W-30 synthetic. Heavier oil tends to make it a little slower to start. An oil cooler is necessary.
8:40 There is some liquid dripping from underneath the Turbo in the moment you switched it of. You probably already noticed that but I wanted to be sure.
Best advice I can give you is to use propane as a fuel source, a needle valve is all you need to control fuel flow. you don't need fancy stainless steel parts, regular exhaust pipe will do. you need a decent oil pump, a hydraulic gear pump will work well. you need an oil pressure gauge, and an EGT gauge so you don't melt the turbine. you need basic metal working equipment.
@@TACOMASRT5 I don't have much useful data to share as I don't have anything written down. your best bet is to visit rcdon.com Everything I know I learned from there...
thanks for that. I have a t50 turbo wrapped up in the same build but using single nozzle atomizing setup. One more thing if you don't mind. It appears you are doing some type of preheat in the beginning. Is that to preheat the combustor for ease of fuel igniting when injected? Or is it to preheat oil for ease of spoolup? Does this preheat also stay on during ignition basically being a pilot light?And is the preheat coming through the same fuel system or is it separate like propane for example. Awesome build by the way
@@SERIAL_PYRO yes, the preheat fuel is supplied from the same pump for the main fuel. It's a .5 gph Delavan nozzle used to preheat the main fuel evaporator tubes and turbine bearings.
Interesting that the Turbo is from a Diesel engine. I always assumed they won't last in this application since they are build for way lower temperatures than a Petrol engine. Did you build yours on a rough plan that can be found somewhere ? I'd love to build one that is liquid fueled
@@tripplefives1402 im not talking about pressure. In this application that is not a concern for me. I was talking about the much hotter exhaust temperatures of petrol engines
That's how you give old turbos new life; mighty fine work there, sir! I started on an equally ancient Schwitzer, moved up to an S485 and am now scratch building an axial 180mm engine. It's been a hellacious voyage, let me to you.

I like the Hetra lifts and jack stands in the background, they save so much time you can to make turbo jet engines for fun
It also helps to have an understanding boss...
I love the fact that you ran this on gasoline! I would like to know more about it. Great video!
Diesel would be better

Looks very close to RCDON build. Good job
His builds have inspired me for many years...
@@MrTurboturbine right me too! So many good notes and write up. He should do a nice book.
This is a solid advertisement for polycarbonate shields
I’ve blown a few chargers up standing in front of that compressor wheel with no guard is not smart. But very cool contraption.
Measure the thrust !
Superb job !!
Next level shop heater!
Outstanding work!!!!!
At 7:17 be care ful man :( looks like a grenade
I need this in my life, for reasons.
surely at some point you fully send it. btw thats an awesome afterburner
That cherry red color means wasted energy.
I assume the goal is THRUST!!!?
Add steam as Tesla did.
More thrust (mass expelled equals more thrust) while preventing the engine from melting from all that excess wasted heat.
That's the afterburner. It burns fuel in the exhaust.
Its look like air craft engine... 😍
Great job! I am also working on a project like that. One problem I have is finding an oilpump for the project. Maybe someone could give me a tip? Would really appreciate your help!
I would enjoy building one
Thanks for sharing
You should add a bypass fan so that the afterburner doesn’t get heated too much.
Kindly upload How we can make it.?
Would it be possible to utilize this power created and generate electricity or by heating water to make a steam turbine?

Funny. What kind of thrust can it produce? and does it melt?
I estimate it produced about 50 to 60 pounds of thrust.
It does not melt.
There must be infinite nozzle openings and degrees, someone smarter than I probably has Table/formula.
So the turbine sits before the flame tubes?
Really cool. Wonder if it could power a bicycle lol
What type of fuel system do you use?
Great work! Sounds amazing
It uses a fuel vaporizing system, 3 radially located nozzles on the chamber inject fuel into corresponding tubes welded into the chamber diffuser. A standard Suntec fuel oil pump provides the flow. A needle valves controls the pressure.
How long does it run
Cool bro.
So perfect... 😊
this one is converging nozzle or a converging diverging nozzle?
this is a diverging converging nozzle.

Have you tried running it in diesel/kerosene? I would think it might be more efficient if you could get the mixture right.
