My Mrs thinks I've lost the plot.....I enjoy starting up old lawnmower engines and making a racket. Just told her I'm considering looking at turbines to play with. You can imagine what she said 😂😂😂😂 Great video guys, absolutely awesome 👌
@@rkan2 It's really old jet engine, so i think it's just get too old to use. I watch the old videos too. And i have dream of having GE90, but that's impossible.
@@MackFire_Sets A jet engine doesn't really wear, so if it is just stored and not just for providing thrust, you should be able to run it up to idle for an eternity.
Used to run and maintain No 7 Test Cell at Hatfield. Four De Havilland Ghost 50s. The thrust was collected by two big power turbines and then stepped up to via gearboxes to 17,000 shp. We used to test RR Compressors from engines such as RB 199, Tornado Pegasus Harrier and the RB 211Fan. Lots of fun.
"IN THRUST WE TRUST!" ✈ Working as an A&P Mechanic engine runs was one of my most favorite things to do & get paid for it 😊. It was totally awesome standing outside alongside a big 4 engine aircraft with all 4 jet engines at full takeoff power! Thanks for sharing guys
I was part of the 5 bed(Barnoldswick) crew that tested RB168-25R Phantom Engines, I can still remember the Re-Heat flame for about 30ft into the detuner.
Awesome, 73 de GW8TVX I spent a tad short of 40 years involved in QA in the manufacture of Titanium starting blanks for the big engine blades (amongst other things) for RR, P&W, GE etc. from RR the original RB211, E4, 524, Trent 550, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000 and XWB. Wonderful to see and hear a finished product in operation.
I work with turbo molecular pumps whose blades are usually machined from a single piece of aluminium, but in principle are identical to the high compressor stage of a turbojet - minus all the fuel etc because we’re drawing a vacuum, so instead of an APU to begin N1 we use diaphragm, rotary, and various sized backing-pumps that run continuously and maintain a steady 37Krpm at the turbo and achieve a vacuum of 1e10-6mbar down to 1e10-12mbar UHV - the engineering is phenomenal though, even longitudinal axis centrifugal and oil bearing! Move them once at full speed and it can be a very expensive lesson in physics for some new engineers! The control electronics has triple redundancy safety which I’m proud to say I’ve reduced to a single button Start/Stop separate from the software - it’s only taken 20 years 😂 I can’t imagine the time and brains that must have gone into these monsters - what an amazing world we live in - I wonder if they utilise the back-emf to maintain certain safety systems as I’ve done with the turbo molecular pumps? Stay healthy, and stay safe guys! I recognise that Fluke DMM - I still use an Avo 8 Mk III on occasion too, beautiful piece of test equipment, misses nothing! 👍😉🇬🇧
I normally follow Agent Jay Z on RUclips, great videos and a real expert in turbine engines but you blokes have brought it to another level. Brilliant video boys.
This is awesome to watch you can see why these engines come in handy after service like using them for melting snow from railway lines and so much more, this would be great to dry out the cricket 🏏 pitch
ex aircraft engineer here. re air starters. i once worked at Marshalls aerospace in Cambridge on contract with Tristars ... a Tristar (pre twin towers) out on the pan had both air start motors stolen/removed from the outboard RB211s ! (very expensive / very lucrative i presume) what really bothered everyone was the fact that an operator somewhere bought them without documentation
I was a bit confused by the use of the APU but then I got it. You needed a "huffer" to start the big engine. Damn I would be afraid of that thing breaking from it's cradle and flying across the yard. LOL
I remember actually jumpseating on a Fokker 28! The jumpseat was this weird thing that pivoted and it was totally uncomfortable. The Fokker 28 was a great airplane, from what I remember about it. These guys are all about the engines, something that I love, but airframes are cool too! Great video!
My memory of the F28 jumpseat was a big lever to actuate and manually raise it into position. It gave a much higher position than the piloting crew giving good visibility to watch their activity.
Those 36-6 APUs were 'dogs'. We converted the sole GIIB in our fleet to the 36-100 because of it...lots of buckling in the combustor, etc... The sheer distance from your 36-6 to the mounting stand was always going to be a limiting factor for start. Heck! on the GIII with the 36-100, it was not uncommon to see almost 1000 degrees when the load valve was selected to lockup the manifold. Those 5-11 Spey are great engines. In the twenty plus years I worked with them, I have never seen a single failure and we flew ours quite a bit.
I was just about to say, "only in America", then you opened your mouth. 😉 In South Cumbria in the late 80s i had a shed full of experiments I had the police around asking what and why most weeks Wasn't making noise or bothering anyone Cant believe how much more free England is now and more people are doing things like this The internet has opened us up more
You made me remember how much I miss the smell of Jet A1. Time to fire up one of my original propane and compressed air start AMT Pegasus engines and maybe the Mercury and video them running before selling them. Just not into travelling to airfields to fly gas turbine jets any more 😢
I spent 2 years working in an aircraft manufacturing company at schiphol airport. Got hooked to that smell and never could break that habit. Every time I drive past the airport now, I take a deep breath and somehow end up with the biggest grin on my face remembering how much I missed it.
Dont tell Kahn, he'll say the exhaust isnt ULEZ compliant. Absolutely brilliant. I have a Pelousti starting engine which was our squadron gate guardian. I believe used with the Sea Vixen. Maybe one day....
40yrs ago i was givin some small jet engine plans i had no idea a few lads would come into work with model plane engines they cut on a cnc machine one lad showed me a frictionless hinge he sent 1 to nasa 2002 when i looked at it i couldnt see how it joined amazing some engineer's in australia i myself built a portable time toilet you go in read the paper and Whalla 1/2hr passes by
I'm an airline pilot, I fly 767's for a small cargo company out of Memphis that shall remain nameless [Fedex]. When I was just a little tiny giblet, age 12 months old in 1968, my parents took me from my home in Detroit to my grandparents house in Binghamton, New York on Mohawk Airlines BAC1-11. You should NEVER take a child less than 2 years old on an airplane, since they cannot talk to you and they CANNOT " pop" their ears. I didn't have a problem, but I digress. Here's something for little peeps on airplanes: Hold your nose tight and blow outwards. This is called the "Valsalva Maneuver", and if you teach your children this, then you won't have a situation where they are on the ground screaming in pain because they can't pop their ears-
There certainly are easier and cheaper ways to blow yer leaves but none appeal to the inner child quite like this does - it is amazing how far we’ve come in jet engine technology , the back country, barn yard engine runs of the future will look quite different 😮
Excelent video! I would love to know what creates the captivating sound of a jet engine. Could someone explain the components or mechanisms within the engine that contribute to this distinctive noise?
In a semi-sozzled state after celebrating a significant birthday, I bid on a Spey on eBay. I didn't get it (thankfully) - but nearly did... I do have a set of fully polished stage 1 and stage 2 fans on my wall, though I bought years prior.
Imaging having a neighbour like this and you just moved away from living near London Heathrow to the country side. LoL . BTW i love it !

never underestimate a british man and his backyard
With lot of uncooked grilled beef full of red fluids 😂
Must be in jungle🎉
...in his garden.
Yeah one man and his shed and a world of possibilities for chaos 😂
😂😮
Always be thankful for men who collect stuff and proudly show off how noisy they are. Even the cat enjoys the jets
17:37
What a great way to spend a sunny afternoon!😊
Oh i imagine doing this at home in my driveway. My neighbor gets excited when we laugh on the porch after 10pm.
Get one of them jet engines too -- they give numerous options how to tame the neighbour.
Aww yes, the classic British inventors in their garden sheds! Bravo guys! Awesome work!
Is a Person even "legally" allowed to own one of those in their backyards
A couple cases of beer and this would be one hell-of a party.
Glad you guys are still at it! Still remember the RB211 from so many years ago =)

Fantastic! I do love the sound of the engines. Screaming' Power!!!
You are all mad man! Mad man of a very cool kind! 🤩😆😎
Great testing guys! Kick some more dust off, and get those turbines kicking. Great episode. Explains allot!
Thanks! - NOM
Absolutely awesome. Love the sound of the Spey spooling down 😎
These boys know their shit. Well done
The whole time I was thinking what if the engine breaks off mount and flies strait at them 😂😂 love jet engines who doesn’t hopefully more to come ❤❤
That's an unusual hobby. Great fun.
Ah, loved the sound of these spooling up in HMS Campeltown. pretending to avoid missiles. Fun times.
Игорь Негода сам такие турбины запускает)
As I watched this video I could smell the engine. Wonderful.
1) I used to work at Pratt & Whitney and really like this video
2) that was the loudest intro music ever haha
Its not a Merlin but I will take it! What a wonderful sound.

Ah The Spey 250. Nimrod MR2. I have worked on those, thanks for the memories!
Hello ian and Roger its been a long time, good to see your toys are getting bigger.
I can't figure out what's cooler - the big jets, or the mini turbine :)
GTCP36-150M APU from a BAE 146 and GTCP85-115 from a BAC 1-11
The mini turbine reminds me of the sound of a radio being tuned in like you hear in movies and TV shows.
I normally follow Agent Jay Z on RUclips, great videos and a real expert in turbine engines but you blokes have brought it to another level. Brilliant video boys.
This is awesome to watch you can see why these engines come in handy after service like using them for melting snow from railway lines and so much more, this would be great to dry out the cricket 🏏 pitch
They'd be ready for play one minute after the pitch inspection
Nice to have those guys as your neighbours.
Very good. Well done chaps!
Holy cow! It’s the Hansen brothers!
I agree! Or maybe Garth from Wayne’s World!
@@robvilla622 Good to see someone with a good sense of humor. I just stumbled upon this vid the other day. I wonder if they've gone deaf yet?
Love it, just a few guys having fun!
Blows my mind that this was the jet engine used in the F-4K/M Phantom II. Absolutely crazy, I love it.
This is a Mk-250 Spey, Nimrod engine, non-reheat. K-Spec Phantoms used the Mk-202/203 Series Spey with reheat.
Used to work on these in the RAF, only came here for the sound!
Really cool video. Never knew these jet engines needed a APU to start them.
Could be a ground source too!
Always handy to have one of those around; there's no faster way to make a salad
You can definitely shake the neighborhood with that baby
Ah they RR Spey...also used on the Fokker F28...those were LOUD...mega loud. Cool!
Same for the GII/III’s
Me, who didn't understand what is going on, enjoyed the sound and leaves move around.
I’d love to have neighbors like that!
Could mount it on a cart & use it as leaf blower!
I’ma add wings with flaps and ailerons and stabilizers
Or instead of shoveling the driveway. The ultimate "snow blower".

Yes bleed air mate.
