- Hello Everyone! In this film we look at some preliminary design considerations for making a gas turbine engine from an automotive turbocharger.

Hello everyone. About a year ago now whilst at my brothers place I spoke about an upcoming project, namely a turbocharger to gas turbine conversion. This is the start of that. In this introductory video we look at the Turbo to be used. We also look at some preliminary design considerations.
very interesting Carl
I may have to watch it a couple of times to absorb everything, your right about pratice versus theory!!!
see you next time

Hello my friend. I got your comments, they appeared here eventually. I appreciate your feedback and your interest very much. Thanks for watching. There will be more design info to come, interspersed with practical work. The idea is to build a basic unit to get it working and get some experience in how it operates, before improving it with things like liquid fuel instead of propane.
Carl thanks very much for another very interesting video. This is going to be a great journey Take care 👍👍
Hi Paul and thanks very much! I am looking forward to getting involved with this one.
Hello Carl, I've just come over to your channel on recommendation from your brother at Retromeccanica. I've also subscribed and look forward to viewing many more of your videos. This particular project looks fascinating.
I was somewhat surprised to see you working in imperial measurements!
Cheers from Down Under,
Peter.
Thanks Peter great to see you. I tend to swap around with measurements, I just use what feels right in the circumstances. It sounds like a recipe for disaster, but I'm well versed in both metric and imperial. And so far I've managed to avoid any major trouble. I hope to get back onto the gas turbine in the near future.
Looking forward to following along with this one Carl, you and Mr Mills can have a 'thrust off' when you're done, and no that is not a euphemism........... Yet. Cheers, Jon
Thanks Jon, I am looking forward to getting stuck into this one.
This is going to be a great project. Gas Turbines are still a big part of my day job so this has piqued my interest!
Best wishes, Dean.
Thanks, it will be some relief from the milling machine restoration. I just hope I can do it! I remember saying it was on the cards last summer in your workshop!
Hello Carl,
A great project and I will be tagging along as it progresses... back in the late 90's I build a calibration rig to calibrate gas turbine fuel pumps for the Rover 1S60.
Take care.
Paul,,
Hello Paul, thank you for your comments and interest. I really appreciate them. Having you on board for this is going to be a huge advantage for me! It is very interesting that you made the calibration rig for the Rover 1S60. I am very familiar and spent much time with its cousin the 2S100. A version of which was used as the APU in the Nimrod, which I spent most of my time on as an aircraft engineer in the RAF.
Really looking forward to this. I have sat quite close to engines employing these principles for most of my working life, but I am ashamed to say that my understanding of how they work is very limited indeed!
Thank you Mitch, so great to hear from you. I have stood next to and underneath those same engines whilst they were running..the mighty Rolls Royce Spey...the only way I can describe it is being in the lap of the gods. I am looking forward to the project, there will be much to do. It's been a long time Mitch, I am back at work in a few days but we must meet up on my return.
Interesting project! I look forward to seeing how it progresses.
Thank you Clive, I really appreciate your interest.
I'm looking forward to seeing how you put the various parts (oil pump, pressure guages, EGT, ignition, inner and outer chambers, exhaust nozzle, etc) together. Not to mention the throttle (usually a lever at the propane bottle) as well as building an oil tank and cooler. This should be a very interesting series. Nice one.
Thank you very much for your interest and comments. Yes, it will be an interesting project with plenty of design, fabrication and machining. I'm looking forward to it. I've wanted to do one of these for a long time.
very itntersting Carl
i may have to watch it a couple of times to absorb things, your right about practice versus theory!!!
see you next time

I have my beer and popcorn ready and I am eagerly awaiting the build to start! might be interesting to build the air inlet in swirl and non swirl to compare the efficiency of both types?
Phil
Thank you Phil. I really appreciate your comments and interest. I want to learn a lot from this process. The engine will be well instrumented so I can check everything. Making different versions of things like you say is a great idea.
Not sure whats happening with comments everytime i post it dissappears
Here goes again
Very interesting Carl
i may have to watch a couple of times to absorb, your correct about practice versus theory!!
see you next time

Here
Always good to see you Cain.
Hi Carl. Great video again. I'll be eagerly awaiting updates to this one. Have you considered multipoint air injection with divergent ducts? A lot of the early GE's had a set up like this, then you could maximise the full area of your combustor can as a convergent duct into your turbine. I have a sneaking suspicion you've already got most of this worked out though! This is looking like a great project. Also what is the auto feed setup on your milling machine? The drill mill not the Harrison sorry.......regards Bones
Hi Bones, thanks very much for your interest and your excellent suggestion. The power feed is made by Align. It is made in Taiwan. Here is a link to a similar one. www.axminstertools.com/axminster-zx-series-power-feed-700095
You can get them a good deal cheaper than this. Because our mains in the UK is 240 volt, same as yours in Australia, I need a 120 volt transformer to drive it, which you can get from the same company. I hope that helps. Thanks again for your interest and your great comment, it's given me a lot to think about!
@@carlwilson1772 Thanks for the info Carl. Had a look and the unit and transformer are available here. There'll be a new purchase shortly!
@@OzBSABantams Great stuff. Thought it would be, they seem to be pretty common.
