Strange compound setup but it clearly made some steam. I made one of these and the heat is insane, but yours was next level heat. Crazy

[@zmjzmj8464]

You guys rock. I designed that thing 20yrs ago glad someone finally built one i always wanted to freak out the neighbors with it lol 😂

[@trevhunt91]

YESSSSSSS 10000000000000% THESE GUYS ARE CRAZYYYYYYYYY

[@coastboyzz]

🤣 thanks for the support trev!

[@sharkymatesizable2327]

They pretty much made a jet engine but the furnace is the combustion chamber

[@danieldickey5104]

I need for a moment that thing was going to blow. That's a lot of boost, every time that thing would open up it looked like it was going to melt.

[@tievan4105]

why man this hurts my soul that turbo

[@themonkeyspaw7359]

This is great!!!!!!!

[@u.e.u.e.]

5:02 It's rocket science! 😂🤣👍

10 out of 10.

[@coastboyzz]

Thank you 🫡🔥

[@Speedy517]

If you don’t have electricity and wanted to heat water really fast. Lol. You should expand on this project and see how quick you can boil a barrel of water lol

[@coastboyzz]

Very quickly I bet 😂🤌 our next test with it will be hitting it with nitrous 😬

[@richb5860]

That is pretty crazy!! now how to harness that much power?? Bet that would make an awesome boiler!! Steam power is very fun!

[@coastboyzz]

Thats the million dollar question! Haha

[@inferno6012]

a lot of cooper pipes leading from inside the furnace and to a water tank for heating it, use some water for steam or more water to just get hot water idk how much temps are in their to know if copper can survive. i have no idea currently how you can use the pressure.

[@richb5860]

@@inferno6012 copper would melt for sure unless there was a big enough water jacket. Stainless or inconel would be ideal

[@randall172]

do water injection, inject water into combustion chamber, water flashes to steam which means you get cooling AND more boost

[@coastboyzz]

Brilliant idea.

[@randall172]

Yeah if you have proper cooling (there are a few thigand you can do together) you can let the turbo really run away and I’ve gone through whole logs in less than 2-3 min.

[@sammylacks4937]

Looks like Krackatoa. thats what Im talking bout , someone getting serious.

[@braziliansheetbox2497]

Yet, you build the twin turbo compound wrong 😃 you put the compressor outlet of the first turbo at the compressor inlet of the second turbo and the outlet of the second turbo for the "intake" of the furnace, you just reversed the order of the turbos, the first turbo that should send air straight to the furnace "intake" and the outlet of the compressor from the secondary turbo to send air to the primary turbo compressor inlet, that's how diesel trucks do it

[@coastboyzz]

Well shit, let it be the first reverse compound turbo furnace in the world hahaha 😅🙏

[@nolanbuie4186]

Wouldn't this be a sequential set up?

[@shinjitsu6180]

I'm sry, but if the first turbo sends air directly to the furnace "intake", then where does the second turbo pick the air from?

[@Taurickk]

@@shinjitsu6180 Big turbo pulls air from atmosphere, sends to small turbo, small turbo sends to burn barrel. You set it up this way because the outlet of the big is similar size to the inlet of the small, meaning the pressure stays about the same. If you feed the small into the big, there is a big difference between the outlet and inlet pipe, this causes decrease in pressure as the air from the small outlet needs to expand to fill the large inlet. Turbo doesn't care what pressure air it eats, if it normally gives double atmospheric pressure then when you feed it 30PSI, 60PSI comes out. So you want to make sure you aren't losing boost by feeding small into big if you want maximum final boost

[@shinjitsu6180]

@@Taurickk ok, i get the point of doing it this way as it doesn't have any pressure losses, but why would you ever go back to a smaller turbo if you are already using a bigger one at this point? I mean, the smaller turbo is obviously not able to compress air as much as the bigger one, so, if you are alteady able to produce enough pressure to moove the bigger one, why wouldn't you want to only use that?

[@Rmsdieselworks]

Damn them egt’s !! 😂

[@coastboyzz]

All of them. 🤣

[@nolimitkrew420gaming6]

I’d like to see this become a viable why to generate power

[@mercermechanics1788]

Nice industrial hair dryer boys 🤣

[@coastboyzz]

Thanks boss. 🤣🙏

[@BeRAd427]

wood burning dragsters when........ it's making A LOT of power. you just need a motor that can take that power and turn all that heat and air flow into mechanical movement.

[@GibsonsVapeShop]

Was wondering why the town was so warm that day.

[@Simpayne68W]

Next rig up some sort of cooling system that runs a circuit or circuits of water through pipes covering the whole furnace with the hottest points being the inlet(s) fed cool water from a radiator and outlets dumping hot water to a reservoir before running back through the radiator completing the cycle. Next thing you know you'll have a highly efficient wood burning water heater 😅

[@randall172]

just do water injection, inject water into combustion chamber, water flashes to steam which means you get cooling AND more boost

[@Idahodiesel]

You guys are awesome, even have coolant system! What’s causing the surging at the beginning? Or do you have a remote choke valve?

[@coastboyzz]

The surge at the start I would assume would be the small turbine trying to push air through the big one to get it spooling. Our remote choke valve was a shovel handle attached to the intake valve we built 😅

[@Idahodiesel]

@@coastboyzz that’s what I was thinking! You guys did great

[@coastboyzz]

@@Idahodiesel Thank you! We love building stuff like this.

[@BeRAd427]

the surging at the beginning was natural. the combustion chamber needed air so it forced the turbo intake open. and after it struggled to get air like 8 or 9 times they opened the "throttle" with a ramp by setting the ramp on the shovel handle that was attached to the turbo opening. the throttle. opening up the turbo so that the engine could not just breathe but go crazy, spinning the turbo up to as fast as it wanted to go and forcing air into the combustion chamber. that's why turboes are called forced induction. they use the energy of the exhaust to spool up turbines in order to force air (oxygen) into the combustion chamber. it's akin to blowing on a bed of coals to get a flame, it does the same thing, but on crack. it works especially good on internal combustion engines. that's why you know vehicles to be supercharged or turbocharged. in this case this is turbocharged. turboes make their power with the exhaust. superchargers spin up on the crank using a pulley. so it uses the engine rpm instead of the exhaust. which is parasitic. takes a little power to make a lot of power, when you're talking about superchargers. turbochargers are more efficient because they use the exhaust (the waste) to make power. but with turbochargers you run into a problem called "turbo lag" that's because the air being forced into your engine relies on how much exhaust your engine is spitting out. so it creates a small delay. whereas superchargers work instantaneously. although are much less efficient. superchargers are good for acceleration. like on tracks as long as it's not 24 hours of le mans, or perhaps in some applications like drag racing. turboes are good for top speed. cuz they just keep on building power in the higher rpm range. more and more and more power. but with the way technology has gone, people have found a way to make turboes more practical in all race modes, buy tuning intercooler (resevoirs) and blow off valves, so that the air is always there. using air flow limiters and one way valves essentially.

[@kikker6770]

You can make a crazy steam engine with this

[@hankhill962]

Could this concept be used for melting cast iron ? For metal casting

[@coastboyzz]

If you could find a way to harness the heat energy, and still keep pressure in the vessel, it would work!

[@petersantana4986]

Is it possible to add an intercooler?

[@user-bj8th8et5x]

Hi!! Can you add to this turbine electric generator and measure power parameters

[@coastboyzz]

That would definitely be an interesting idea!!

[@piggyporkerboo]

[@coastboyzz]

Aye!! Welcome buddy 🙏😅

[@hksjoshua]

Compound setup is backwards.

[@hunnybunnysheavymetalmusic6542]

Your turbo placement is backwards.

[@coastboyzz]

Correct 😅👌

[@hunnybunnysheavymetalmusic6542]

@@coastboyzz I'm eventually going to make an actual functional gas turbine, based off a 13 inch in diameter titanium compressor I got from an old WW2 bomber that I plan to power my motor home with. I'll be casting and machining the impellers, diverters, vanes, and primary shaft at my shop, and the balance of it will be made of an ultra-uncommon material [not impossible to get, but proprietary to my design, so I'm not saying what it is] that can withstand massive heat, and pressure, without weighing a ton. My goal is a 300 pound turbine that develops over 3500 shaft horsepower to an automatic transmission. And if THAT works... THEN I will make a tiny single seater aircraft that looks a lot like the T-47 Snow Speeders in "The Empire Strikes Back". But I am very hopeful, and very encouraging of ALL versions of the [now known term] 'Turbo Burn Barrel' because it will encourage development and competition. I know of one other channel on here [besides me] who is looking to do solid fueled turbines, and while he has not yet mastered the twin turbo setup, he is working toward it. I am cheering him on, because we need more people doing this, either as a hobby, to make a lot of noise like you have been, or actually advancing engineering. My background includes building turbines for Rolls Royce, repairing fighter aircraft, repairing heavy equipment, and designing renewable energy systems, so I support people in all of those fields, even sharing with them tips and tricks now and then when they really inspire me. Anybody who home builds ANYTHING turbine, I AUTOMATICALLY subscribe to.

[@coastboyzz]

Film it!! I cant wait to see.
