ST50 homebuilt gas turbine, jet engine

ST50 homebuilt gas turbine, jet engine Tube. Duration : 2.98 Mins.


Heres my Cummins ST50 based gas turbine. I built this after building a couple of "traditional" turbocharger based jets. I removed the cast iron scroll and fabricated the turbine shroud, nozzle guide vanes and all the other combustor components from 321 and 304 stainless. Sorry guys, I dont have plans drawn up for it. I did one pull test with it using a furniture dolly and fish scale.. probably not the most accurate method but still managed about 60lbs. It currently runs on propane. Next on the list of things to do is to install the oil cooler and fan kit, and finish the swap to kerosene. Pics of the build here- photobucket.com . . .

Homebuilt wind generator power - Build It Now!

wind energy at home should not be as difficult as you might think! There is no avoiding the current increase in energy costs - is a global problem and not to look away any time soon. Alternative energy sources are being developed faster than ever before, and you may have already seen wind farms in business. But what I do not know, perhaps, is that you can easily make your own homemade wind generator and cheap. Let's find outmore.

In particular, the technology behind wind energy is not new. The generators have been around for decades - just look at the alternator in the car. It 'the same principle - the wind turns the blades, which in turn rotate the dynamo that generates electricity. Modern wind turbines simply perfect this process, but the basic science is exactly the same. Therefore, if you want to create your own wind generator, you need not worry about components of any complexity. The sameapplies to batteries used for the storage of energy - it is good equipment.

Generator

What you need, however, the know-how. Although the production of a wind turbine is very simple, it is also extremely easy for a bad one! There are several aspects of design and construction, wind generator make the difference between a practical, efficient, and something that not a piece of modern art! You need to know to use the best components,and how they must work together to generate and save the maximum amount of power.
