So, I figured out the main thing stopping me from getting more power was simply that I wasn't getting enough fuel.  Well, I was getting less than 1 psi of fuel, and I need somewhere between 30 and 60.  The problem comes down to the regulator, so I made my own regulator, however the size of the tubing is still cutting it down to about 5 psi.  I took some more pictures of the better burning flame, and plan to beef up the fuel tubing over the next few weeks so I can get the desired amount of fuel.

For the people who just wanna see fire:





And for those who actually care about the workings of a gas turbine engine:



And this is what happens when you push the button, let go of the camera and the engine pushes it over while the camera is taking the picture:

Looks like it might have to be propane as my fuel also (kerosene requires a lot more to get it to work)

Sorry to jack you thread, looks very cool bty.
