What a great way to spend a sunny afternoon!😊

[@thecuriouslobster]

Aww yes, the classic British inventors in their garden sheds! Bravo guys! Awesome work!

[@HolloMatlala1]

Is a Person even "legally" allowed to own one of those in their backyards

[@Animejeff]

Love it! So British and man in shed. Great work on getting it running and what a great sound.

[@MessieAs]

Oh i imagine doing this at home in my driveway. My neighbor gets excited when we laugh on the porch after 10pm.

[@gustavevilleneuvedehoff-un5459]

Get one of them jet engines too -- they give numerous options how to tame the neighbour.

[@FloridaFrank2010]

Glad you guys are still at it! Still remember the RB211 from so many years ago =)

[@rkan2]

What happened to it?

[@MackFire_Sets]

@@rkan2 It's really old jet engine, so i think it's just get too old to use. I watch the old videos too. And i have dream of having GE90, but that's impossible.

[@rkan2]

@@MackFire_Sets A jet engine doesn't really wear, so if it is just stored and not just for providing thrust, you should be able to run it up to idle for an eternity.

[@liftrucs]

I was part of the 5 bed(Barnoldswick) crew that tested RB168-25R Phantom Engines, I can still remember the Re-Heat flame for about 30ft into the detuner.

A couple cases of beer and this would be one hell-of a party.

[@iancarnell5020]

Used to run and maintain No 7 Test Cell at Hatfield. Four De Havilland Ghost 50s. The thrust was collected by two big power turbines and then stepped up to via gearboxes to 17,000 shp. We used to test RR Compressors from engines such as RB 199, Tornado Pegasus Harrier and the RB 211Fan. Lots of fun.

[@SoaringGuy]

Lovely sound. I bet the smell was awesome too 😁

You are all mad man! Mad man of a very cool kind! 🤩😆😎

[@TimRatcliffe-s6t]

When I worked for Lucas Aerospace - the Engine Systems Division - there was an RR Spey kept at the test facility at Honiley near Knowle in Warwickshire which used to be periodically started up and run either just to make sure it was still working properly, or if it was needed for a particular test. The technician would go into the test stand while the engine was running and (quite casually - or so it seemed) walk around looking for any fuel leaks. He could get to either side as the engine was suspended from the ceiling, and the exhaust was deflected upwards by giant vanes at the rear of the cell. All very impressive and watching this brings it all back to me, even though its now over 30 years ago. I never really did get to the bottom of how the CASC worked, and fortunately for me I was on the much simpler and more modern Fuel metering units (FMUs). Happy days!

[@jeffmech600]

These boys know their shit. Well done

[@bigphillAchtung]

Please do another one or two this year! You cant leave it sat there it'll get lonely ;)

As I watched this video I could smell the engine. Wonderful.

I remember actually jumpseating on a Fokker 28! The jumpseat was this weird thing that pivoted and it was totally uncomfortable. The Fokker 28 was a great airplane, from what I remember about it. These guys are all about the engines, something that I love, but airframes are cool too! Great video!

[@davidpalmer9780]

My memory of the F28 jumpseat was a big lever to actuate and manually raise it into position. It gave a much higher position than the piloting crew giving good visibility to watch their activity.

[@trstquint7114]

Nice to have those guys as your neighbours.

[@reverseuniverse2559]

This is awesome to watch you can see why these engines come in handy after service like using them for melting snow from railway lines and so much more, this would be great to dry out the cricket 🏏 pitch

[@TomHomewood]

They'd be ready for play one minute after the pitch inspection

[@TjeRod]

Ah they RR Spey...also used on the Fokker F28...those were LOUD...mega loud. Cool!

[@wbaviatorpilot]

Same for the GII/III’s

[@ScarabChris]

I was a bit confused by the use of the APU but then I got it. You needed a "huffer" to start the big engine. Damn I would be afraid of that thing breaking from it's cradle and flying across the yard. LOL

[@levitated-pit]

ex aircraft engineer here. re air starters. i once worked at Marshalls aerospace in Cambridge on contract with Tristars ... a Tristar (pre twin towers) out on the pan had both air start motors stolen/removed from the outboard RB211s ! (very expensive / very lucrative i presume) what really bothered everyone was the fact that an operator somewhere bought them without documentation

[@redskyz483]

Wow that's such an interesting comment.

[@18robsmith]

That brought back memories of the time I lived between Heathrow and Northolt....

[@datainmotion]

These British guys with jet engines in their backyard just crack me up. And not one, but TWO APUs! Cheers, gentlemen!

[@chicagoland9449]

Excelent video! I would love to know what creates the captivating sound of a jet engine. Could someone explain the components or mechanisms within the engine that contribute to this distinctive noise?

[@Benzos6149]

I work with turbo molecular pumps whose blades are usually machined from a single piece of aluminium, but in principle are identical to the high compressor stage of a turbojet - minus all the fuel etc because we’re drawing a vacuum, so instead of an APU to begin N1 we use diaphragm, rotary, and various sized backing-pumps that run continuously and maintain a steady 37Krpm at the turbo and achieve a vacuum of 1e10-6mbar down to 1e10-12mbar UHV - the engineering is phenomenal though, even longitudinal axis centrifugal and oil bearing! Move them once at full speed and it can be a very expensive lesson in physics for some new engineers! The control electronics has triple redundancy safety which I’m proud to say I’ve reduced to a single button Start/Stop separate from the software - it’s only taken 20 years 😂 I can’t imagine the time and brains that must have gone into these monsters - what an amazing world we live in - I wonder if they utilise the back-emf to maintain certain safety systems as I’ve done with the turbo molecular pumps? Stay healthy, and stay safe guys! I recognise that Fluke DMM - I still use an Avo 8 Mk III on occasion too, beautiful piece of test equipment, misses nothing! 👍😉🇬🇧

[@tinman5322]

Who doesn't love this type of backyard ingenuity!....Though I hope those poor sheep can retreat to a safe distance.

[@Saabjock]

Those 36-6 APUs were 'dogs'. We converted the sole GIIB in our fleet to the 36-100 because of it...lots of buckling in the combustor, etc... The sheer distance from your 36-6 to the mounting stand was always going to be a limiting factor for start. Heck! on the GIII with the 36-100, it was not uncommon to see almost 1000 degrees when the load valve was selected to lockup the manifold. Those 5-11 Spey are great engines. In the twenty plus years I worked with them, I have never seen a single failure and we flew ours quite a bit.

[@frack4oil16]

Holy cow! It’s the Hansen brothers!

[@robvilla622]

[@frack4oil16]

@@robvilla622 Good to see someone with a good sense of humor. I just stumbled upon this vid the other day. I wonder if they've gone deaf yet?

[@Everything_E-Bike]

ironic that you’re using an APU from a 146 to start the Spey. If my memory serves , the 146 is electric start so this APU would never have been used for engine starts before. great video. I love the pointlessness of it all. Just guys playing with big machines. Awesome.

[@marcusdamberger]

Well as you saw, the 146 APU couldn't handle the load as it were and they switched to a bigger APU.

[@martijnphilipse6864]

I spent 2 years working in an aircraft manufacturing company at schiphol airport. Got hooked to that smell and never could break that habit. Every time I drive past the airport now, I take a deep breath and somehow end up with the biggest grin on my face remembering how much I missed it.

[@Gavs_rc_hobbies]

What's the rattling noise as it spools down when you shut it off?

[@125brat]

It's the blades of the first few compressor stages. They aren't fixed solid in the disc so rattle around once rpm drops during rundown.

[@jeffreylynch3203]

We guys just never get bored😂

[@AndreA-ke2id]

I wonder why the Spey sounded so different on the 1-11. When starting it made an ear splitting whine, even after the hush kits were fitted ?

[@brianmbugua8933]

How does it cost....what's the consumption rate....what doe it consume.....alternative fuel?

[@electromech7335]

What is in the white hose coming off the apu? Hydraulic fluid to start the other turbine?

[@garyyoung4074]

Bleed air from the compressor stage

[@justDIY]

What's the cause of the grinding noise the big jet was making while spinning down?

[@thewtf]

Just the LP compressor blades.. supposed to make that noise

[@DistracticusPrime]

Like @thewtf said; it's because those blades sortof "hang" on thick pins, so that they can move a little bit. When slow, you can hear them toggle back and forth as they go over the top. You'll hear this from any stopped jet engine if the wind is blowing.

[@abaskamal8599]

...good to see some country brits enjoying some big jets

[@Chappy999999]

Blimey! I thought you turned the GT 36 off at first, I didn't realise it was bogged down by the load from the Spey.

[@ShokaLion]

Lovely job! What became of the RB211 you guys used to have?

[@thewtf]

Sold it years ago

[@WernerEngel1]

Is it possible that you had too much pressure drop over the very long hose from the APU to the SPEY turbine?

[@thewtf]

Dont think so… the APU is easily up to starting this engine and the hose is a standard air delivery hose

[@Goodkiwibloke]

Still no nozzle fitted. Does the spey have reheat? It looks like it did at some stage I have M701 mounted in a pickup truck And a T62 with gearbox for my next project

[@maik5825]

Wow so cool!!! Why is the big one rattling like that when spinning down? Sounds like a problem with a main bearing… I assume that there are no bearings with balls inside because of the high speeds so that doesn’t make sense either.
