Making a Fully Functional Jet Engine from Soda can | diy Jet Engine | homemade Jet Engine

[@letmepicyou]

I am a trained and qualified jet engine mechanic, specializing in the Alison 501-k17b, and GE LM series. I've got a few suggestions for you, if you're open to them. First, you have a 3-stage compressor, but unfortunately all of your compressor stages are the same size. Compressor fans need to get progressively smaller to achieve gradually higher compression rates. If you're going to use only 1size compressor, you could have made do with 1 compressor stage instead of 3. Otherwise, I suggest tapering your compressor stages down to increase compression. Second, while using sheet metal for your compressor and power turbine fan blades might be cheap and easy to work with, unfortunately there will be significant flex at speed, and flex will crush your engine's efficiency. You need to encase your fans in a ring and lock the tips into place to prevent the individual blades from flexing under speed. This will also prevent leakage and increase efficiency. Last, adding more power turbine stages might help drive the compressor stages better by scavenging more of those hot gasses coming out of your annular combustion chamber, possibly producing some measurable thrust even. I have a few other ideas, but they might be a bit unreasonable for a "pop-can turbine", lol. I'd like to see what you can do with a CNC, a Bridgeport, an indexing wheel, and some trigonometry. Keep up the good work!

[@LeandroLanca]

Exactly what you need to do!!!!😊

[@thiagoj.7900]

I was going to say that. 👍🏻 😂😂😂😂😂

[@letmepicyou]

Also, decreasing the distance between the stators and fans will result in better efficiency and less turbulence inside the engine. You can't give the air a chance to tumble after it leaves the fan blade, it has to proceed smoothly into the next section.

I did think about it and you should too. It’s still dumb. He bent them the mirror image of how cutting them with the scissors bent them. He could have made the wood compressor stages the opposite direction and it would have been the same. The only hope of explanation is to work harden it… but a 30-40 degree counter twist isn’t enough to affect that.

@@leerogers6423 It is a self-sustaining, airflow and burn, jet engine, and an axial jet engine to boot, which is harder make than the garden variety youtube centrifugal designs. It's especially a jet engine in that it incorporates stator vanes in the compressor stage, something very uncommon in the usual DIY projects. The only thing lacking is actual _demonstrated_ thrust. That it _must_ have thrust is entailed by Newton's equal and opposite law. It has mass going in the front end and propelled out the back end.

Tra molti video che ho visto finalmente qualcuno che sappia come costruire un compressore molti stadio. Ottimo lavoro. Suggerimento. Il compressore avrebbe dovuto incanalare l'aria in uno spazio più piccolo per aumentare la pressione. Inoltre si sarebbe potuto aggiungere un cono convergente divergente, in torno alla turbina, per aumentare la spinta all'uscita. Comunque bravissimo è un ottimo risultato. Ora non ti resta che costruire un RAMJET.

@Gabtechexpo Is there any sort of voltage multiplier to get the big spark from the batteries? Is the glue superglue gel? At timestamp 21:20 you apply glue all the way around the inside of the can next to the intake fan and then spin the fan. Do you spin the fan to stop the fan getting glued to the can, but allowing the glue to close the gap between the tips of the blades and the inside of the can?

[@bernardedwards8461]

A longer jet pipe might make more efficient use of the hot gases and flames coming from the rear of your engine by directing them rearwards. Assuning that you could get 10lb of thrust from each engine, with a pack of 12 engines you could make yourself a rocket suit, and your forward motion through the air would force air in at the front io increase the propulsive power of the engines.

Alright can you make a high bypass with a more powerful compressor and fan with a nozzle or exhaust and you can use hydrogen not oxyhydrogen because oxyhydrogen is so explosive that if you used in this engine your engine likely gonna explode so use normal hydrogen by the way this engine looks awesome! And you can also use thermal paste for extra heat that can damage the engine because it desipates heat

I made it uses a cyrcular compressor and nice combustion chamber, but it didnt work. And your angine gives a self sustaining mode.

[@thesquisheee]

how many compressor wheels and any stators in betweem? does your turbine wheel make the compressor turn too, are the turbine blades pitched the correct way? the engine seen in this video will produce virtually no thrust, extremely inefficient. its basically just burning a fuel air mix at a high rate. a bunsen burner with a fan in it.

[@Kostya_bro]

@thesquisheee My engine have not axial and circular compressor(like a turbo winding in car) it doesn't need any stages more than one. It produse unreal big pressure without more stages. Turbine blades places in correct way.

[@rickfeith6372]

​@@Kostya_bro Its most likely the combustor. Some very important maths need doing: OPR, Diameter, CFM flow, Fuel type, stoichiometric ratio of fuel, aerodynamics of combustor, etc. There is a fine line between cool model and working turbine ....as long as you are making decent compression, which would benefit from stator(s) and IGVs, you ABSOLUTELY MUST achieve a proper fuel/air ratio to get it lit, let alone self sustain as the RPMs increase. Making a precise replica that makes decent pressure and has somewhat efficient turbines to drive the compressor is the easy part...making all the aerodynamics and combustor section that plays nice with the rest of the spinny bits is a whole other can of worms.
