reuploaded due to issues! Our original turbo fire bucket idea and the journeys it's had from back in february 2021! thanks for watching, as always follow us on insta, like subscribe and leave a comment! kade and shania x
After over 50 years of experience with gas Turbines I thought I had seen it all, I've seen natural gas, diesel, crude oil and even coal dust as fuel but this is a first!! Hats off to you guys!! 💯👍👍
It seems to me that, in principle, this is a wood burning (centrifugal compression) jet engine. Useless thrust:weight ratio, but 100% a self boosting, forced induction, turbine. Brilliant! Subbed!
I subscribed just yesterday after watching your other video about this device. Glad to see you're now only 290 subscribers (then plus the 30 day wait...) from being able to get monetised. Getting closer! Fingers crossed the algorithm continues to be good to you.
Thanks so much for the support! We have hit over 2k subs already and our other video has over 425k veiws! Going up really fast I can't wait to see everyone response from our next video of the fire bucket!
Some pointers for #4: Compressor boost pipe needs to be way bigger, 4" at min with bigger ball valve. Put inner liner tube inside to hold wood/fuel so flame is not touching out wall. Don't use rubber or flexible hose of turbo waste oil line. Use bleed air to control max RPM, dump it off. For starting, "Air Impingement" is the term you looking for. Kinda how you are doing it, the compressor inlet housing can be carefully drilled to direct a pair of compressed air streams onto the compressor wheel keeping air guns and other crap away from the wheel. A large bore nozle in the boost line may also work with venturi effect.
This thing is going to blow up every turbo you put on it. Drive pressure in tank is probably insane. 100+ psi. If you waste gate it enough to control drive pressure the shaft speed will be too high and the turbo wheels will explode. It needs big wastegates on both the cold and hot side in order to control that much air. Once that’s solved we can talk about how your going to oil starve something spinning at 100,000 rpm every time you this thing.
Pretty dope, you should try different types of wood, as each type burns differently. Hotter burning or longer lasting pieces may make quite a difference
Not sure if the oil can drain into the tank if it’s under boost. If the tank has pressure no oil can drain into it. Super cool though. Turbo might be small for that large of a tank as well. That’s a lot of space to fill with air.
G'day, Absolutely love the idea of this! I have an offset smoker built from a receiver tank that my kids have affectionately named "Little Pig". Your turbo drum is now known as "Turbo Pig" in our house. Legends. 🤙
don't have a door like that have on end of drum with screw thread and mech to open and shut also u need a couple of entry points for boost so regulate with value air feed to control fuel burn also u need to feed turbo oil under pressure constantly or turbo will blow to make it more fun put a one way valve in intake after boost with a very light spring SOS a slight Breeze opens then just natural fire flow should spool turbo and have a bigger chimney help rush air also if you are closing off the air feed boost u need a blow off valve or ur going to have a huge fire kill impact both killing the air flow and slowing down the turbine speed with back pressure resistance probably want to use wastegate instead and bleed exhaust bypassing turbine as better regulator and I would put ur spool speed up on the chimney side causing a rush vacuum thought fire box with air hose instead of on air box or into the boost turbine
Needs pressure oil lubrication to the journal bearings constantly, hand pumping on occasion won't allow the shaft to float properly and it will eventually fail which I saw in your latest video, I've messed around with homemade turbo jets and I always ran an oil pump at the turbo's recommended oil pressure. Still bloody entertaining to watch your vids though 👌
I'm not sure if you need a microphone or to change the settings on the phone or if there's a phone case thats blocking the mic. It's very difficult to hear anyone in front of the camera speaking but behind the camera comes in loud and clear. Besides the audio great videos everyone love fire, turbos and bombs.
The only setting they need to change on the phone is to turn it sideways. So many people film in portrait mode when their target audience will be watching on landscape oriented devices.
@@bushydray There's another guy that made a small one, this one is a monster by comparison. It's out do the other guy lol It's a turbine powered trash incinerator you can use to tick off the neighbors :) Basically a wood fired jet engine.
@@patrickmihajlovic4112 I think people from down under are so restricted by their version of big brother, overturning produce carts at the farmers markets, taking away their rights to self protection, sending them to quarantine gulags, forcing jabs on everyone...that they have resorted to the most useless of pastimes, wasting time and money so they dont have to think about how pathetically oppressed their existence is, and the pickle they are in...so they make bonkers stuff like this. thats my explanation.
If you hook up nitrous to the spool of the turbo, not only could you spin it from far away, the nitrous would probably help the fire burn better and it might start easier
@@codykahn2173 You do know turbos aren't built to have fucking soot and unburnt wood particles to be shoved through the turbine? This shit is stupid af there is no way to make this reliable
@@codykahn2173 And they already blew one up so whats the point of wasting turbos? Why don't they use all this time and material to actually build something with a turbo that does something instead of just destroying itself 🤣💀
@@contraband1543 do you even know what a turbo jet engine is, this is basically a wood powered one, and Elon Musks space ships are very similar but run on methane and oxygen, that’s why I said nitrous would make it run better because it has oxygen in it. To make it reliable just don’t run it on wood, could be anything from propane to used car oil. And It’s not a waste of time if they’re having fun.
Wonder if you could build something like this, but with a tesla turbine, have it on the same shaft as the compressor, no fuel would be needed, just the compressed air.
Why don’t you lot put a valve and connection in the feed line right in front of the turbos exhaust side inlet so you can connect an air hose to it so you can try spool the thing up.? -
The long ones don't seem to work so well. They have more surface area to volume. A square meter of steel at 1000°F can lose 25,000 watts. That is like 30 hp lost to drive the turbone.
I don't understand so you just start a fire inside there?? And then use the Turbo to inject a ton of air creating pressure that exits through the Turbo exhaust? And It's like a never ending chamber?
Turbos are driven by the heat energy of the exhaust caused by the burning fuel. This is just using the heat from the burning wood to drive the turbine. Which drives a compressor that provides more air to burn the wood faster and make more heat.
I think you lack pression the seal is already in you're bucket list i think but maybe you can test a new exhaust in a cone shape who decrease size (smallest than the turbo exhaust) that would help to create more presure in the system and it will also increase the speed of the exhaust gas (but if you start to increase the pressure watch out to not have a to much pressure that will create a explosion to avoid that create a door that will explode if to much pressure is in the system)
Hope you're getting ad revenue. I feel like this could be another big channel like the hydraulic press channel but it's the will it turbocharged fire bucket channel
Yeah these guys have very little idea of what they are doing. Are they waiting for the turbo to hold up and blow up the tank? Because that's about all that can happen with this setup if the turbo lasts 🤣
This is fantastic! But is there a point to it? Is there any application for something like this or is it just for shits and giggles? I can't believe it can sustain boost and really do think it's fantastic, just wondering why and what made you even think of it...
Personally I can appreciate the complete lack of any form of safety because I am a firm believer that if you're not living dangerously you're not living. That being said I only hope noone gets killed but in the likely event of catastrophic failure please post the video and dont edit out the blood and guts!!! Also at this point there is really no sense in recommending the use of a blower with extendable reach from a remote position. Other than that keep up the good work. Out of curiosity what is it exactly you are trying to accomplish other than certain death?
@@Quarterpounderspatch Yes, i saw it, but it was operated by by hand driven pump from barrel and it burn "used" oil in fireplace. Turbo needs constant oil flow under pressure to float shaft in bearings on oil film and no backpressure on outlet. Here outlet oil is connected to pressurized fireplace and turbo creates back pressure through oil outlet. Hand operating pump with pauses is not suitable.
You want bigger well that's even better because you could use one of those tank cars that railroads uses and mount two of those big turbos on it and you're going to be in for the surprise of your fucking life it's going to be awesome
Hook an air line with a regulator up to the oil tank so you don't have to run near hat beast lol Is this a new bigger tank ? Last video I saw it had a 4mm thick flat door sunk down in which decreased the volume of air that needed compressed. A tank that size is going to need to be pretty much leak free I think. Shame high temp silicone sheet is expensive, would grip better than those wood burner seals.
I'm absolutely delighted to have found your vid's about the turbo charged burnbarrel out of my most anarchistic dreams...😂! You remind me very strongly of an old fart who had a channel called "Oil burner" running! Unfortunately he hasn't been that active for a while so I'm happy to support your channel and hope for BIG THINGS to come. Your requirements, as far as I could judge them in the videos, seem to be quite good !!? I definitely subscribed and shared...!!! We city dwellers are really hungry for such "development opportunities". You may have something with CONSIDERABLE potential... 😉
Only way to sucess add coling canals on power turbine İn 1930 jet engines cant run long time because melting turbine and they add very simple air Canal on mil and can very durable previous engines
