@@iamdimapo I guarantee the oil refinery right next to where he did this kills much more atmosphere than the little bit of smoke Hunter put out

[@bkopietz]

Technically this is a Brayton cycle wood powered turbine engine. The wood breaking down into smoke is absorbing all the heat needed to keep the engine going since the smoke isn't getting enough air to burn. You might have better luck using charcoal because it already has the material burned off that is turning into smoke. Otherwise you'll need something like a cone shaped bottom inside to limit how much wood is heated to reduce the rate the smoke is generated or put the bigger turbos on to get more air inside.

[@cheerdiver]

Agreed, in the same vain Mythbusting tried to create a steam cannon, the compression chamber is loosing too much thermal energy. INSULATION may be required on such a large combustion chamber. Do not use rubber glue to bind old tire shavings, as it's combination w/ NOX is literally what was used on Spaceship One.

I heard you like burn barrels so I put a burn barrel in your burn barrel.

[@dennisferron8847]

Ideas. 1. Add an air-air heat exchanger to recycle exhaust waste heat to intake. 2. Rig up pipes and valves to allow the truck engine's exhaust to pre-spool the turbos.

[@FlyinRaptorJesus]

You want cold dense intake air, if anything add an air to water intercooler.

[@dennisferron8847]

@@FlyinRaptorJesus on a piston engine cold dense intake air increases the efficiency of the expansion stroke. But this is a stove so hot (dense or not) intake air would increase the efficiency of burning the wood. The situation is complicated here because the turbocharger also needs expansion. So it's a bit murky which is needed more, dense intake air or heat recirculation, however the physics of heat engines in general says they operate more efficiently at higher temperatures in general (if the materials can handle it). The problem in the video besides not being able to get enough oxygen to the fire seems to be one of not being able to get the system bootstrapped into self-sustaining operation. If they retained more of the heat they could get it up to operating temperatures and conditions with less fire/fuel usage and thus partly alleviate the shortage of air as they would need less of that too, in the beginning.

[@kensmith8832]

Appears you need 3 turbo systems feeding air. Usually, the fire pit is larger than the chimney to get the chimney to draw air. This is how you create a high pressure zone in the chimney. The chimney also narrows as it goes up. Your present set up would put out a fire starter log. For a forge, we use a 3" air input pipe for a 15" x 12" fire pit. Also the air input needs to be high volume and not high pressure. If you want to go full Southern Redneck, create a hopper on the side that allows easy feeding of fuel to the fire with a door that you control from the ground. Leaf blowers will do a better job over the compressed air. You may get better results with a few chunks of coal as a starter. Also build in a bypass exhaust port for start up. There is an issue with pressure, fresh air, and exhaust in one chamber, getting enough fresh air in can be a problem.

[@syx3s]

i'm a pipefitter and actually don't mind this setup for what it is at all. i can see why HD likes this guy.

[@bluevette1978]

No need for external compressor, Hunter. Build a venturi right before the inlet of the hot side of your turbos to get the gasses moving faster. You are almost there, you just need the exhaust gasses moving fast enough to get into the velocity range that the turbos you are using are optimized for. Then, you will get your run-away effect that you are looking for!

[@Acoustic_Theory]

The turbo compressor side tube should be brought to the bottom of the tank to feed the fire with oxygen, and the turbine side should be fed from the top where the air has absorbed maximum heat. Also, the overall turbo package could be too small to flow enough air in a two-stage configuration to keep the tank pressurized, making it more difficult to start up.

Fire pit tornado you can try , Had a 3 ft metal culvert cut down , welded plate at bottom , add a air inlet at the bottom and to push the air at an angle along side the barrels cylinder , it gives the tornado effect once it reaches the top of the barrel . A simple build and will burn wood quick , it’s a light show when it’s going , heat up a whole crowd and you’ll be stepping back from heat when at full stack . Construction is the 3 ft metal culvert pipe slight holes at bottom , an inlet with metal pipe to allow blown air into bottom of barrel , this from a holiday air pump used to blow up inflatable yard decorations . Just chunks of wood on hand once started gave the metal a super heated glow with the air blowing at an angle , the tornado effect is at full combustion , all the wood is burning hot and the air can reach its max velocity coming up and out the vessel , 10 ft flames are at its high th of generation . You can use a 55 gallon drum , the extra heat will reduce its life for one season . The smaller and taller the vessel may roduce better height.

[@bradley3549]

I've been following all the videos on these types of units - the Aussie's really love these things - and I really think a total-loss oiling system where waste oil is used to lubricate/cool the turbos and then injected into the combustion chamber would be RAD. Oh, and using compressed air to spin up the turbo is probably the best way to start one of these because you can do it from far away!!! Oh, and these things really need proper exhaust wastegates. Using a ballvalve on the air inlet can allow severe overspinning of the turbine. Not that the life of the turbo is the main consideration here... heh.

[@drewmurray2583]

guy already tried that and the back pressure on the turbo drain is no bueno. The oil needs to drain out freely with no restrictions or get scaveneged by a pump.

[@N.Sal95]

I agree oil injection would be the way to go. Going along with what Drew said, instead of running the turbo drains into the combustion chamber just add another oil line off the pump with a valve to a nozzle spraying into the combustion chamber.

[@Robbie6298]

You need more CFM to build pressure and less exhaust restriction so that it doesn’t choke the fire out. That’s a huge tank. Think much bigger turbo or parallel (twin, triple, quad etc) turbos not compound turbos. Compounds are good for building boost pressure in a low volume (CFM) system this is why they are exclusively on diesels. Gasoline engines don’t use compounds because they flow much more CFM ( volume, due to RPM), it would just choke them out.
