EMU-12/E Gas Turbine Generator Start
Просмотров 15 тыс.16 часов назад
Got this a few days ago. Garrett GTP30-67 engine. Hooked 2 lawnmower batteries together, put fuel in the tank, and it fired up. Has to be run in emergency mode in order to spin all the way up, so there is probably a fault in the generator or tachometer. If anyone has any manuals on the generator set, please reach out to me. I would love to fix this up and bring it back to its former glory.
My 8-bit TTL computer build
Просмотров 4,1 тыс.7 лет назад
My homage to Ben Eater's wonderful video series on building an 8-bit computer with TTL chips. I decided to make a few mods while I was at it. I am running an 8k memory chip (still only addressable to 16 bytes for now though), antique hex display chips, latched pushbutton data inputs, and some Nixie tubes for the display. I put it in a 16x20 shadow box and hung it on the wall. I think it looks p...

Start of a gas turbine engine I acquired. I built an RPM switch to keep the starter latched till 40% and plan on using this to make a gas turbine/electric hybrid car.

Amazing engine
Um , you do know this is way too cool .
Seems like you could find a manual online? Maybe even Google Books? Seems like I remember that there was a place on the Internet, where you could download older or obsolete military Technical Manuals for free? Worth checking. ...Maybe everything's monetized nowadays?
Awesome! It looks way too old to make such ridiculous noises 😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉
how much thrust
And you can put it in the bed of your truck for extra thrust too!
Where do I get one 😂
Milspec, oooooooh that sound, I like it!
hot starts can fry the turbine blades so b careful
Prick tease
How many kW?
20KW
Grok says the manual you need is MIL-G-38259 .
You don't happen to have a copy of that manual, do you?
@ Sorry, I do not have it. I looked on line. There’s a manual for a different turbine power unit. It might help with a general overview.
That is totally badass
Well I know what I want for Christmas
It might be low on oil, etc.
I think there's radium in the tachometer. it may dangerous. check it if you have radiometer.
I’m need
Beautiful Tesla charger
Resistive loads like heaters and incandescent light bulbs would work on 400 hz. Equipment with rectifier front ends like switch mode power supplies would also work. You probably could charge a Tesla with 400 hz.
Would you sell it?
So where'd you get that?
Sounds like it could sprout wings, tail and...HOLY CRAP my generator just flew off!😮😅😅😅
Oh shit! I gotta have one of those. I have seen or owned some cool stuff but that right there is IT. The coolest thing I ever saw. Hands down. Thanks for putting it out there. Cheers from Tennessee.
Cool….
Non 400 cycle electronics don't like the 400 cycle, learned that in the military after plugging a radio into the convenience socket on the Sentential Radar generator...
It looks like something out of the time tunnel but hey, it runs.
How much did you pay for that?
I traded a Vidmar storage cabinet for it.
F-16 😂😂😂😂😂👍 …..
I love that thing!.
I'd rather power my generator with a hit and miss piston engine. Those gas turbine units are rated in gallons per hour.
When you go camping you will stand out.
Very cool! I have often thought about playing around with a gas turbine engine, but what would i do with it? Question answered. Thanks for sharing!
A 24V inverter should work great with that, get a 3kW one.
so regular incandescent lights will be fine on 400HZ as they are a purely resistive load, i doubt you can lower the rpm enough to get a 60 hz output without causing issues, if you want to run anything "normal" besides lights like another person said best bet would be a dc to ac inverter on the dc output depending on its voltage. cool find though! i didn't know these wer a thing and i have a new mep gensets myself
Y a pas un roulement qui et mort ?
Too cool -- You should checkout the video online of Hitler's old MAN diesel generator, engineering was insane. Hatz is awesome too
wow that is insanely cool!! Is it true that they are only fuel efficient when operated at near full-to-full load? also would be great at remote places, you can use the exhaust heat in a co-gen recovery system for hot water/air - even more efficient then
We used these on almost every exercise.
Awesome! What all do you know about these units?
Tachometer inop is the fault. Without tach signal, the fuel control can't sense if engine is self sustaining. This is a single shaft simple centrifugal compressor so it is quite fussy on startup.
That's what I thought too, but according to the wire diagram on the unit, the tachometer signal doesn't interface with anything other than the gauge. There is a separate tachometer signal produced from the generator head and that goes to the control circuitry but that works since the starter shuts off automatically.
Doesn’t he tach reference for these units read another speed input for startup. The tach on the main panel is separate and just for indication
That's what I think too. I disconnected the cannon plug on the generator head because I didn't want it to generate electricity while I was digging through the wiring and when I went to start it, the starter didn't automatically shut off. I had to quickly flip the master switch to shut it down because the starter motor was still running and it was almost at full speed.
there is nothing comparable to a turbine spooling up..
25 kVA, 120/208 3 phase wye at 400 Hz. Also 100 amperes at 28 VDC. This is a ground power unit meant for aircraft service as it consumes far less fuel than main engines..probably under 5 gallons per hour. Single centrifugal compressor, single radial fliw turbine. 8000 RPM geared output, 6 pole rotor. Probably a temperature or tachometer fault. The generator end is another story all together. There is no way to get 50 or 60 Hz.
How can it be 8000rpm output and 400Hz? That doesn’t make sense at all. At 8000rpm the frequency would be 133Hz….OR at 400Hz the rpm would be 24,000 ( unlikely a rotor with copper windings could withstand this rpm…………)
@ThatGeneratorGuy Rotors have at least 2 poles. 2 pole at 3600 RPM is 60 Hz..
@@keithjurena9319 yes… your above comment still does not make sense though
@@ThatGeneratorGuy там может стоять внутри машинный преобразователь частоты. Турбина крутит генератор, генератор крутит электродвигатель, электродвигатель крутит генератор 400 Гц.
@@иванпетров-в1ы1я , that is unlikely. A rotor that large turning at 24,000rpm would likely fly apart. So the output is probably 24000 rpm and then geared down to 8000-9000 rpm and at that rpm it’s spinning a 6pole rotor for 44-60Hz. But to say it’s 400Hz is HIGHLY unlikely. Hz is a measurement or electrical oscillation. We can do simple math to find RPM from that but they’re not the same thing.
Basically a cesna cockpit controls on a wooden box
Direct drive 😮
Thats so cool. In zombie apocolypse if you want to find extra food and a house follow the aircraft engine noises in the middle of the neighborhood :D
I WANT ONE!
what a beauty
with this being higher output dc, it may be more effective to us a dc to ac inverter to achieve your desired 120-volt ac usage for this equipment
100a at 28v, only 2800 watts, maybe a 2000w inverter max accounting for losses. That's a noisy 2000w.
Wow. Great project. Is the genny driven off a reduction gear or a separate power turbine?
It's driven off a reduction gear box. There is one compressor and one turbine in the engine, which spins at 52,000 RPM then is reduced to 8,000 to drive the generator. I would love to hear it down further to run a 60hz generator but that will probably happen well into the future.
@@Pyro15D from my looking around it will be hard, as 400hz will make the windings in the alternator alot smaller than on similar 60HZ equipment so most likely not enough power to drive a similar 60hz gen head, but gearing down to 3600 should be doable with some pullys or gears, ez is just a rectifier and a inverter since its only a few 1000w
Don't forget to spin the props after shutdown. It's a Garrett, after all...
It's got a lot of potential. What a great little toy!
That thing is awesome!
