Is the diesel a good enough lube for long term? Or is that just for a few fun laughs? (i understand using oil would make a mess the way it was set up).
It's been converted to run as a turbojet engine, similar in principle to a jet engine in an aircraft. Connect the compressor to the exhaust with a fuel chamber in between, spool it up with a leaf blower, add fuel, ignite, vwolla! Instant mini-turbine engine. Simplified, of course. ;)
I think.... the vacuum is hooked to the compressor intake to get the turbo spinning. The compressor output side is piped to the turbine input The sparkler is housed in a chamber similar to the compression chamber of a jet engine. The intake pipe has a funnel for the oil to drip into the air stream where it is atomized and blown through the sparkler and ignited The ignition causes pressure build up that RAPIDLY spins the turbine and exits the exhaust side. a home made Jet engine :)
I had one like that, but the car ended up being a lemon, it had lots of problems with the rear bearings constantly wearing out and the timing chain wore out really quickly too. I spent more cash in parts than I spent on the car.
hes made a turbo jet engine. it runs off gas. the sparkler is to ignite the gas in the combustion chamber which hes made out of a cat. and hes using a blower to pressurize the turbo blowing the gas in to the exhaust side of the turbo. once running the only thing needed to keep it going is the gas and the sparkler.
Dude, you're destroying your turbo with that 'lubrication system'. Every turbo needs an oil (not diesel) supply with at least 3 bar pressure. The bearings of your turbo will be destroyed in a matter of seconds. I hope you won't hurt anyone, when the turbine blades touch the wall en shatter into pieces.
Why gas do you run on for your jet engine?? Or do you use propane. If so, how?? My boyfriend is currently building his own jet engine and I'm trying to help him figure it out. I would deeply appreciate your help. Thank you!
wow this is the most primitive turbocharger jet I've ever seen, using a sparkler to light it and POURING the oil in at the top? LOL I would not be brave enough to do it this way..
The starter is a vacum, the air from the vacum caused the turbo to spin ,the the cathalytic ,gets realy hot with unburn fuel ,causin a hot exhaust, thehot exhaust now is driving the turbo , creating more like a turbo and jet turbine engine ,the boiling lubricant is more like a fuel correct ?.
