[@JohnDoe-fk6id]

You need a compressor bypass to unload the turbine (you'll get higher rpm's and better pressure ratios, by keeping the compressor out of surge) and a better flame holder to help stabilize combustion (you can hear it chattering, and see the boost pressure bouncing all over) Your idea for thrust measurement is questionable, at best. The exhaust jet will entrain a not insignificant amount of air into the stream before making the bend, and the wall friction of the flow will come into play, so you will not be getting accurate measurement of thrust available. It will, however, be repeatable, so if you're only looking for verification of tuning changes, then it'll work fine.

[@blackturbine]

I think that most of his combustion problems arrive from compressor surge I had similar problems and I added a compressor outlet bleed valve so it doesn't surge on low rpm

[@MrRolnicek]

He said he wants to use this to turn a turbine ... that tells me that its better to include the "bypass" air effect into the measurement.

[@blackturbine]

@@MrRolnicek he could make respool system but cutting into turbine housing is no easy task

[@JohnDoe-fk6id]

@@MrRolnicek If you're driving a power turbine, then you will need even MORE compressor bypass, to further unload the turbine. The extra backpressure of the power turbine is robbing the gas generator turbine of useful pressure difference, and that means there's less power to drive the compressor, which is already overloading the gas generator turbine.

[@jason1440]

Could be that tapering outlet is too long or too small in diameter causing the surge.

I’ve been watching this folks that runs other turbines for different applications. You’re the first one to address real bearing oil and temperature values (with gauges and rpm readings) which in the end make a project to become real. Or at least the first one to consider it. That’s is why the flying man and some other RC enthusiasts do not cross the toy or fun line. Those folks can’t run their projects other than few minutes. I imagine a real every day flying transport. But that one is a bigger and longer project to work on. Thanks anyway.

[@ArcturanMegadonkey]

I think those large pops while the engine was running were the engine surging, looks like you have the exhaust nozzle too choked.

To measure thrust you can place two of the rig's legs on a scale (front or rear), take the delta of the reading, multiply by the horizontal distance of the legs and divide by the vertical distance to the motors shaft.

The turbojets on the way are substantially more powerful. A vertical exhaust is an advantage. Your scale idea is a good one and can be calibrated by simply placing known weights in the plane of the exhaust.

I don't know what part is tuned incorrectly. Maybe it's your nozzle size, but you have a weird pulsation that suggests to me that something is mismatched. I built a larger setup and monitored the exhaust temperature and turbine speed to get them both maximized using nozzle size and I remember it sounding a lot smoother and more consistent. That fluttering/pulsating sound I know can happen in turbochargers on cars as well if the turbine, compressor wheel and engine are mismatched. It might be worth looking into, and maybe you will know more as soon as you have the tach hooked up.
