Excellent mate, I made one for my engineering school project in 2004, your setup looks very similar to what I did back then, very happy to see this ! wish you guys the best
Hi. I would like to build one of these for my school project. Please can you direct me to where I can find the build process, schematics, white paper or anything that can help me. Thanks.
Incredible very simple clean build Running with no problem and not overheating very good job you guys I'm in the middle of doing one right now but only have gotten the turbo so far been collecting stuff like fuel pumps and stuff like that just for fun my problem is the combustion chamber
jonathan Farias indeed the combustion chamber can be pretty tricky with dimensions I remember and schould be build with precision. Look it up there are some good right ups on how to demension it for your turbosize. Good luck and have fun!
For the oil cooling system, do you just plumb the oil into a hole you cut in the turbo and cut a outlet/drain or is there a spot on the turbo that is specifically meant to accept the oil and a drain? Also, how does the pneumatic starter work? I’ve seen electric starts before but I’m not familiar with pneumatic ones. Thanks.
jonazzz you should measure it at the exit/drain of the actual bearing housing. You don’t want too much pressure, as it’s hydrodynamic lubrication... not hydrostatic. The pressure should be matched to rpm and load.
jonazzz Congratulations, i pay you my respect. Very impressive indeed. Would you recommend doing the Bachelor in Mechanical and the Master in Aeronautical Engineering?
Hello, you could watch colin furze video's on TH-cam they are very informative and helped me alot. My write up is in Dutch so i doubt it would help much in your situation :/

Thanks! Indeed was a very fun project. 😄
That’s awesome! I’ve been looking into making one of these for a summer project. Nice work!

Thanks.
the oil goes into pre existing holes in the turbo, the pneumatic starter just blows air into the turbo to get it spinning.
@@icantthinkofaname5549 thank you so much, makes much more since now.
Outstanding job guys...
thats freakin awesome
Thanks!
Hello! I would like to take a look in the build process. Is that possible?
sure, send me a private message and i'll share it with you. keep in mind it's written in dutch so it might not be as helpfull a you tought
@@jonasdeboos Sweet! I cant find the pm function though🤔
@@jonasdeboos My email is turbojetproject@hotmail.com. It would be great if you can email me instead. Thanks!
@@jonasdeboos The ability to send, receive, or read private messages in TH-cam is no longer available.
How to make a combustion chamber?? I want to make it thanks
Colin furze on TH-cam has a nice and clear explanation on this topic in one of his first turbojet video's
Bro pls can you help, I need pdf of this project bro.
Where is the oil pressure measured??... is it in the actual bearing cavity?
The pressure was measured at the exit of the oil pump. Thus before going in turbo
jonazzz you should measure it at the exit/drain of the actual bearing housing. You don’t want too much pressure, as it’s hydrodynamic lubrication... not hydrostatic. The pressure should be matched to rpm and load.
How did you make both propane and kerosene use? should i put two injecter on chamber?
we only used kerosine, one small injector with a smaller spray nozzle for start up and a bigger one to maintain turbo running afterwards.
jonazzz thank you for replying sir. can i ask you what kind of nozzle is used? I can’t find them
what the material afterburner and thiknes
classic steal with approx. 3mm wall thickness
total investment in euros?
I would say a large 1000€ strongly depends on how much you can weld your self to build the combustion chamber offcourse.
Did you get your Bachelor in Mechanical or Aeronautical Engineering ?
I did my Profesional Bachlor in Aeronautical Engenieering

Congratulations, i pay you my respect. Very impressive indeed. Would you recommend doing the Bachelor in Mechanical and the Master in Aeronautical Engineering?
Voyager ボイジャー thank you very much! Yeah sure, doing my master at this moment 😄
jonazzz
good luck man!
So you used compressed air to spin up the turbine?
yes indeed to spool it up initially
How did you get your compressed air line directed at your turbine blades?
it's a copper tube easy to bend and shape anyway you want
Hello i want to know how to build it? Would you like to post the tutorial? (Iam sorry for my English, iam Indonesian

@@jonasdeboos but i think this is the best turbojet on TH-cam!, by the way thank you
@@fauzanabdullah4442 thank you very much!
Very cool
