Building a homemade jet engine
i'm currently building a jet engine out of a turbo.I'm soon going to be working out and drilling the flametube.i have all the calculations off of various youtube videos.
Has anyone on here built one.there seem to be so many variations of flametube design,could do with some pointers maybe on what works better,than other designs,if that makes sense.
cheers all

here's a pic of the turbo,cosworth t3 on the left
will upload more pics of the build later

Hellova way to do it though!!
Imagine it - someone asks how you died, the answer will be amazing!!
"Well, he was building a jet engine...and it blew up"
"Mad bastard!! That's AWESOME!! err...I mean, I'm sorry for your loss"

PassionFord Post Whore!!
Would look good bolted to a Sinclair C5, or an old folks buggy....
Reminds me of a mate, who once made a spud gun out of a bit of welded scaffold tube and some oxy acetylene...
Good luck with it, can't wait to see it in action!

Got to love a crazy project.
Who's that crazy bloke that made one in his shed and nearly set it all on fire?
He made a proper fast mobility scooter as well.

Awesome - Subscribed
Its not as mad as it sounds as early jet engines did have centrifugal compressors (as opposed to axial compressors) just like a 'turbo' and infact many modern turbo prop engines still do.
Looking forward to a video hopefuly without a big bang at the end of it
