WHAT ELSE CAN A JET ENGINE AFTERBURNER DO?!

Today we show you our new jet engine design using a new afterburner setup. We start with how you can build it yourself and then run through some demos. We end with a fun show of fog juice (glycerin) running through the turbojet to create huge clouds of smoke.

Years ago, one of the first projects I worked on as an aerospace engineer was "Alternative fuels". We took a stock jet engine (as would be found on a light commuter jet) and ran everything from peanut oil to vodka through it. Turns out, the peanut oil ran the engine just fine, but to get it to run on vodka, we had to make modifications to the engine's software. Turns out, peanut oil is more expensive than jet fuel, but it has the added benefit of making the entire test site smell like fried chicken right after start up and shutdown.

[@JWSmythe]

I was going through ideas for alternate diesel fuels for cars. Mostly, I was just exploring options. I have a diesel pusher RV, and wanted to know all my fueling options. Ya, peanut oil, or most any food oils you can buy in a grocery store, are more expensive than their road fuel counterparts. It's probably cheaper to get them in industrial quantities, but same can be said about road fuels. The vodka may not have worked as desired because of the water content in it. The average is 80 proof, or 40% alcohol, 60% water. You can refine it to about 95% alcohol, 5% water, but after that, it starts absorbing it back in from the atmosphere. You may have been better off with strong methyl alcohol. Just don't drink the surplus methyl alcohol jet fuel after work, that stuff will kill you.

[@Turksarama]

@@JWSmythe Something I've heard of people doing is getting _used_ cooking oil from restaurants for free (they'd normally have to pay to get rid of it) then re-refining it to take out anything you don't want going through an engine and using that. It apparently works pretty well, some people even claim to get better engine performance but I think they're probably imagining it.

[@WarpedPerception]

You need a secondary ignition in Afterburner for a few reasons, Mixture Pressure, Temperature, time of atomization, and the cooling dynamics of the fluid as it makes it's way out of the nozzle. but when the burnfront is behind the ignitable gases moving at that speed with a soft even molecular cushion, you need a nice sharp spark to break that balloon. and that assuming you have some nice pockets at the injectors to stir things up, I find if you ramp up the fuel pressure nice and high with small nozzles it works well. the algorithm gods apparently know what I'm working on right now...whoa .. haha.

[@TechIngredients]

You're right about the nozzle size vs pressure to maximize atomization. Pump capability is really the only limitation here. Like you, I enjoy pushing past the typical barriers. This is why it's important to study how those barriers were established and understanding how the "pros" do it. Then let it rip...😶

[@WarpedPerception]

​@@TechIngredients absolutely! I 100% agree, you have to have fun in life, life is so much fun when you know how to build things and make a lot of noise...lol!. Also I wanted to mention with the turbo style exducer vs an axial turbine there's usually a spinning pressure zone coming out of that turbo against the walls of the afterburner creating a sorta lean/rich environment in the same space, but there's so many different variations of this I find that each setup requires individual analysis and treatment.

[@aaronschocke2147]

This may be a bit naïve, but would their be any benefit to introducing a stator to vector some of that exhaust gas into a slightly straighter path down your afterburner? I would imagine that the exhaust gasses experience a lot of angular momentum and want to wrap the wall of the pipe. I wonder if a straighter flow over your flame holders would better promote flame stability.

[@kmart1319]

@@aaronschocke2147 I have the same question. As you mentioned, installing a stator should reduce the swirl. It should also reduce the exhaust gas velocity, which, if I understood @Tech Ingredients, is beneficial when igniting the atomized fuel.

24:18 Stage one exhaust gasses have plenty of CO2 and NOx which are really good at absorbing heat and not giving it to the cold fuel. The way to auto-ignite is to pre-heat the fuel. Run it through a pipe wrapped around the exaust and pre-heat it(it doubles as protection for the pipe)

[@bruceschneier6283]

[@ilikeyourname4807]

@@bruceschneier6283 It is. In rocket engines they even use the heat to drive the turbopumps and pressurize the fuel. It's really elegant and kinda nuts.

[@ridermak4111]

Reminds me of how wide-eyed I was when I found out that huge spiral of tubing wrapped around a hot air balloon’s flame was propane being pre-heated. 😳

[@borhex]

I wpuld also suggest a pilot burner inside the combustion chamber instead of the spark plug, a tiny tube with separate fuel and air mix delivered from the atmosphere via venturi intake. The pilot flame needs to be protected from the turbulent atmosphere of the engine with a perforated shield. We found (at our company making industrial burners) that the pilot is a well worth investment because it provides a constant ignition point regardless of the disturbances the main flaim would have due to changing (for example) combustion air temperature. Remember, with CO2 in the combustion air, just a few Celsius up or down can shut off your flame. Note: This will however produce NOx and CO so the environment will not like it, but for testing purposes and for proof of concept it will definitely have a huge boost in momentum/inertia performance. Because a good pilot and a stable flame will allow you to increase the overall speed that you had to reduce initially....

[@SnorreSelmer]

Back when I worked as ground-crew on the F-16 fighter-jet, we learned that the afterburner basically doubled the thrust at the cost of _quadrupling_ fuel-consumption.. So if the F-16 were to run on afterburner all the time, it would have enough fuel for ~15 minutes of flight... (That's probably with internal tanks only.)

[@Nurhaal]

Yea that's without bags. The Viper is tiny and doesn't carry that much internally. Still sick AF tho. It amazes me how the F-35 can carry an entire F-16s mass in fuel alone internally. Whew. That a Lotta' gas in a stubby jet. The Panther is pretty cool too, though.

[@RageDavis]

Lower oxygen content in the gases after the turbine seem to be a reasonable explaination for an increased temperature for self ignition. Additionally, evaporating the fuel in the afterburner requires energy, which is taken from the turbine exhaust gases. Hence the temperature of those exhaust gases might be decreased significantly, depending on the amount of fuel added. Both effects together might be enough to prevent autoignition...

[@brandonb6164]

I also think evaporative cooling of the kerosene might play a role.

[@maxrun29]

[@wombatschaefer5408]

I think I spotted the rocket scientist

[@Leo99929]

I experienced this with an auto ignition coil and butane. Worked fine for slow butane gas, but as you try to increase the fuel delivery rate the expansion of the stored liquid into a gas cooled the fuel to the point the ignition coil couldn't maintain the temperature required for auto ignition. A fatter element pulling enough power to offset the fuel cooling effect can work, but then it is likely to melt without the cooling from the fuel. This pushes you towards some kind of closed feedback loop maybe based on the resistance of the element in order to vary the voltage and maintain an electrode temperature within operating ranges. The option I went for in the end was a ~100W ZVS flyback transformer and a spark gap strong enough to melt 2.5 mm steel electrodes. Tungsten electrodes helps with the melting. Then you have to worry about the wind speed "blowing the spark out".

I didn't have a TIG welder at the time so I MIG welded everything. It looked like crap but it functioned and made good power.

My intuition is that air temperature is not distributed equally in the chamber, so may be lower around fuel inlets and it is not able to get auto-ignition one before leaving an afterburner. But I'm not a rocket 🚀 scientist

I believe the answer you're looking for is the thermal capacity of the fuel being sprayed into the afterburner. Kerosene has a surprising capacity to absorb heat. So much so that many aircraft are equiped with oil-fuel heat exchangers that use the fuel to cool the hot oil coming from the bearings. Basically, the fuel isn't being heated by the residual gasses fast enough in such a small space before the intended combustion area. If you had a fuel "pre-heater" (basically a length of copper or brass tubing that spirals around or "hugs" a hot part of the combustion chamber before feeding that fuel to the supply manifold) you'd probably have better combustion overall and better chances for autoignition to occur

[@littleshopofelectrons4014]

I really like your engineering projects and the scientific explanations that you provide. I am a retired electrical engineer myself but I do occasionally dabble in the mechanical engineering side of things.

[@airlink2142]

The auto-ignition issue with the afterburner might be due to a high velocity and low pressure flow of the exhaust gases that are entering into the chamber from the turbine.

[@HelloWorlds__JTS]

Constructive feedback for you: 1- I assume you purposely avoided dubbing in a voiceover narration during the loud runs, but I am certain it would've made the video more engaging. 2- I was anxiously waiting for you to explain the difference between optimizing for thrust versus power generation, e.g. in a turbine generator, but I don't think you did; or if you did, I had already zoned out by then. 3- I would've also been much more engaged if you were comparing measured thrusts in your different versions using force transducers.

Hey Howard, will this turbo finally make my air conditioner cool my entire house? Just kidding. Love the videos. Hate that video. On the other hand, you have enough fans to actually make that happen.

@@MakeItWithCalvin Absolutely. I discovered his channel a couple/three years ago and it's just brilliant. This guy should have 100 million subs.

I would like to see more videos on turbine technology. Maybe a video on different fuels like hydrogen, common pump gas, oxyacetylene, 50%< alcohol... Etc!

again such a great vid! i wont built anything like that the next 10 Years. Still watching and consuming all of the explanations, just because its fun and intersting to watch you explain things

Secondary, schmecondary ignition - EXCELLENT video, I love it!

[@ChrisDRimmer]

My hunch for why the jet fuel doesn’t autoignite is heat loss through vaporisation. I’d imagine when you introduce liquid fuel into the exhaust, it rapidly evaporates which could well reject enough heat for long enough that the exhaust gas stream just can’t get the added fuel to auto ignition point before it all escapes out of the nozzle. Perhaps with better atomisation it could work, as the surface area might allow enough heat transfer into the fuel to overcome the cooling, but that seems a difficult target to achieve even for serious engine makers!

[@evil_me]

Well shit I basically said the same thing as I did not see your comment earlier. 🤣

[@TechIngredients]

That's a pretty good theory.

[@ChrisDRimmer]

Have you guys tried running gas for the reheat? If introducing something that’s already gas phase doesn’t work that would debunk my hypothesis pretty quickly!

[@constantins.2981]

You could achieve a better atomisation through increasing the fuel pressure, like its done in direct injection engines (petrol and diesel). Sometimes upwards of 200 bar or 2900 psi, but these pressures are hard to achieve.(in comertial diesel engines its usually done by a highpressure pump driven by a cam on the camshafts) and he uses the fuel pressure to regulate the amount of fuel deliverd. Cars solve this problem by only activating the injector for a short amount of time (pulsing) to get the right amount of fuel. If you could solve these technical difficulties you could make an autoignition afterburner work. But i dont think this is a resonable thing to build. Its only advantage would be that i could prove or disprove your thesis

[@maeanderdev]

If that is the case, a fuel preheater should work. If however the fuel needs to be preheated a lot that would be very hazardous
