pozman Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 fark man you are insane, that make more sence now  is it hard to get it started or what, and what feul are you running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camerondownunder88 Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 (edited) Starting can be easy and can be hard.lol Pretty much i turn on the master switch for everything then I turn on the oil pump. Once I have oil pressure the fuel pump comes on automaticly. Once I have all the systems primed I turn on ignition and gas warm for 12 seconds to about 400 degrees C then turn leaf blower on and as I slowly open the fuel metering valve I turn the leaf blower up slowly. And in about another 5 seconds I should go from 0 to 30,000RPM.  But a few times the start has "hung" where fuel is burning but it just doesnt spool but when it does RUN (Even comercial jets get this now and then) they generate a bit to much power..lol. But last time this happened so much fuel was burning in the jet it spooled up so fast rear wheels started spinning and it lifted off the ground from the instant increase in rotating force in the engine. So it can be hard. Starting is always the worst part if it goes good well engine should run well.  But last time too_quick saw it I was doing arebuild from a "out of temperater run"..lol I melted the stainless steel fuel manifold (well more the weld and mounts etc) so I was redesigning and also going to find a better finish for the drive turbine houseing as well paint burns and it mild steel for testing so rust to. But it is slowly coming along. Should be track ready again by the end of December :hmm:  But I run it on straight kero (jet fuel) but can burn any fuel if slightly re-tuned for it eg deep fryer oil.  I have a video here of it on a hung start jumping off the ground before I tuned it to make more power Ill try to compress it and get it some where for you to see ti run.  Cameron  P.S. I always play safe so risk of death is LOW... Edited November 15, 2006 by camerondownunder88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwarf Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 But I run it on straight kero (jet fuel) but can burn any fuel if slightly re-tuned for it eg deep fryer oil. Â Slight point of order, AvTur is derived from kerosene, but is not kerosene as we know it. Â It's a bit like comparing unleaded with the Avgas they used to run in Spitfires.

camerondownunder88 Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Yes you are right kero isnt quite AvTur as AvTur has lube added anti freese so when planes are up high it doesnt well freese. I'm not flying so I don't add that but I do add lube to my kero. But you are right not quite the same. Google it for more info.

Raven Posted November 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 I thought this topic was supposed to be about "Whats The Fastest Car You Have Owned?" not "Jet Engines For Dummy's 101".

Dan Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 How about we split it, so we can keep discussing the jet engine? And not lose the point we are at now :hmm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
