Hand made Gas Turbine runs 8 Minutes

[@ZEK0THA]

You mentioned that this took 8 months of work in a comment. I think it's not about the time it takes, it's about what you've learned during the process. Stable operation of a handmade jet engine for more than 8 minutes deserves congratulations. Very well done!

@@Novus_Ordo_Conditorthats True, however i used only the housing of the Gas Tank, this engine runs in the Video with Diesel, it probably runs also with Kerosin, Motor oil or even Vegetable oil, have a Look at my Last Short 🤙💯

You're now qualified to work for Boeing

Actually he’d be better off going it alone! He’s producing turbines that work!

I'd say he may be overqualified at this point...

This is crazy cool and mad impressive!

This is incredible work, I can't imagine the machining necessary to get that turbine perfectly balanced and to make it out of a good enough material to not melt for the whole run. How much thrust do you think it makes if you had to guess?

[@mola2646]

@@tacticalidiot175 thanks a lot my friend, it was by far the hardest project i have ever done, your comment means a lot to me. I didnt measured the thrust, but i think its between 3 and 6 KG, the turbine itself weighs 1 kilogram , so its pretty powerful

[@seeriktus]

Judging by the flames coming out the front, you might be getting compressor stall?

[@mola2646]

How did you achieve the balance portion of the build?

[@mola2646]

What exactly do you mean? Balance to have no vibration?
