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: ![]() |

My copycat engine to be coming soon. except I don't have the knowhow to make a reg so i'll be using the 60 psi here: http://www.tejassmokers.com/gasregulators.htm 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. |
