Please never skip the details for the flashy shots (although those are fun too), it's what sets your channel ahead of the rest!

You don't HAVE to know the details that are explained in this video to build a turbojet. These days you could easily throw together a turbojet and get it to work with some trial and error (cough cough colin furze), but the details allow a design to be planned out and nailed first try, which is why this video is so amazingly valuable. I wouldn't be surprised if the creators you are talking about didn't mention those things because they were simply oblivious!
At 17 minutes, had to pause and say this. Hats off to you sir for this (almost) one take masterpiece. We stand on the shoulders of giants and you've become one of the shoulders I'm standing on. I love listening to people talk who have to slow themselves down because the wealth of knowledge they possess isnt to be taken lightly.
Amazing, when I did backyard jets in the 80's we didn't bother with all the rocket science but hell we had some huge fun. The more fuel the bigger the smoke & flames, that's the only equation we ran with
I _thought_ I understood octane and octane ratings, until somebody asked me how a fuel with a higher octane rating actually allows an engine to make more power, at which point I realised that I didn't actually understand a damn thing. So I went and learned.
OMFG, the most detailed explanation of a burn chamber ever. I was toying around with the idea of used oil burners, and I never could understand the great variation in burn chamber design. Most videos are like "and play around with it and make it work for your particular setup", but nobody gives any amount of theory on how to approach this problem, and how to judge various failure modes. I realize that a burn chamber for an oil burner would be far more complex because of the wider variability in fuel type and quality as well as operating range of the fuel flow and air flow, but at least now I have some sort of glimpse on how to approach the problem. (I hesitate to say that I now have some sort of understanding, 'cause there's nothing i truly understand about it, but hey, it's a starting point).....

My son and I both eagerly await each of your next presentations and we both enjoy informing others of your program. I sincerely thank you for all of your hard work and hope that you will continue for many years to come!
Great build. The only recommendation I have is clocking the center section so the oil drain is pointed down. Turbochargers use piston ring seals and use gravity to drain the oil. Having the drain on the side will cause the oil to backup and eventually leak into the compressor and turbine housings. Amazing craftsmanship and elegant design! Excited to hear it run.
It's very helpful that you differentiate between scientifically calculated parameters, rules of thumb with explained bounding limits and "dark art" design. Without this clarity, a novice might think that this is a mature technology where a design could be calculated and built without testing or iteration and would perform as expected. There's a reason why companies like General Electric, Pratt and Whitney and Rolls-Royce still test new designs.
You have hit on a very important point. Deterministic guidelines provide a foundation for the "rules of thumb". This makes improvements and modifications much easier.

@@TechIngredients You create a quality content and are very good at explaining things. It's pure joy to watch and learn. And the "son of the main presenter" gig was hilarious, almost a trademark by now :)
I've been interested in these homemade turbojets for years. Still can't figure out why the combustion chamber's seem way out of scale to the turbo size.
@Brian Borell Fuel burn speed/combustion air velocity. You want all the fuel to burn within the combustion chamber and never within the turbine. As he says in the video you want fully burned slightly cooled exhaust gas entering the turbine, because combustion temps will exceed the temp threshold of the turbine.
Simply THE best video I've EVER seen explaining the various components, aspects and procedures of a gas turbine. Thank you for sharing this information. Regards Mark in the UK
Been Working on and off on a turbocharger gas turbine engine since H.S. I have already learned so much from your clear and articulate presentation of this project, Thank You!
You're welcome! I hope you get it working. We will be covering a low speed, high torque turbine to convert this into a turboshaft. You might find more applications for your engine with a rotary output.
Another compelling video - just love your work. Thanks for all you do in such amazing detail. Can but imagine all the time you have invested. Look fwd very much to the next video. Yes - AgentJZ does some great videos on jet engines.
This man explains in common street layman's terms, simply enough for all of us to understand without need for redundant duplication, varied/various complex terms, some of which border Calculus and the Fourth dimension; Pure Genius! Thanks!
*Tech Ingredients* What a fantastically educational video, I appreciate your detailed explanations, video style, and calm demeanor. Most interesting video I have seen in a long time! I was wondering if you'd take it under consideration to do a future build on a PDE (Pulse Detonation Engine) which is inherently different and much more powerful than a pulse jet style engine. They have always been my favorite since the physics of their operation is not entirely known or explained. Thank you again!
"The physics of operation is not entirely understood", what? To my knowledge, the principles are very well understood. The problem that is a bit more difficult is related to starting the cycle.
Great video, thank you!! One thing that stuck with me about doing custom turbo work is that you should have the oil flow through centre cartridge to be as close to verticle as possible. It looks like your oil flow may be more horizontal? Not sure if this will cause any issues. Most turbochargers can be "clocked" fairly easily to get the oil inlet right up top. Keep up the great work!
Undoubtedly one of the most informative and technically precise turbocharger-jet conversion videos on RUclips (not to mention the tidiest!). I've previously heard the various turbocharger design terms used (A/R ratio etc.), but had no idea what they actually meant or how to apply them to a design process. Nice shoutout to AgentJayZ, the fountain of turbine knowledge. The moment I saw the lock-wiring on the combustion chamber baffle plate I was reminded of his excellent video on the subject. Guy has SO MUCH real-world knowledge and such a straightforward no-nonsense presentation. Good stuff!
I've seen sooooo many turbo jet engines on RUclips now, each with varying levels of wow factor, but this one is just absolutely *beautiful* :O This looks like a collab between Clickspring, This Old Tony, and NASA :P It's impressively detailed and so clean looking! I'm excited for the next episode! :D
As a mechanical engineer that opted to take controls courses instead of compressible fluids, this was incredibly interesting and informative. Your presentation style is outstanding, I cant believe how confidently and quickly you can give such a detailed lecture without stumbling. Also enjoyed the shoutout to diesel efficiency 😅
This is the very best, most knowledgeable and clearly articulated explanation of factors influencing turbo performance that I have ever seen. Fantastic!
One of the best engineering explanation videos I've ever seen, it helped improve my understanding of so many different sub-topics that I wouldn't have expected from the just the title!
One of the top two channels on RUclips. Applied Science being the other one. (App Sci more about proof of concept, Tech ing more engineering. Together they'd take over the world!). You guys deserve proper funding and if I can ever help with that I will. Not only great content, you guys should run an incubator for tech start ups, something I have done a lot of but in 2019 what we lack globally is investment into the skills base. It tends to be knowledge based investment which has a high failure rate. Good work guys, really great stuff.
Wow...... your videos and your explanation is so perfect!!! This channel has reached a God-level in engineering. I hate why it has so less subscribers........!!!!!!
There are plenty of low information density science and technology channels that will waste your time with childish stunts and antics. Channels like this, that grow organically based on the quality of their content, are much better.
Another great video! Explaining a dry subject in an easily understandable interesting way. One question though ....... ....... Have you talked to the neighbours beforehand this time? ;0)
That demonstration about why higher compression ratios give better efficiency was just brilliant. I've never seen it explained so clearly, making it bleedingly obvious. Great!
I am blown away by the presentation and engineering detail of this build. More over, many rules of turbo charging, no matter the application, are brought to light.
High quality content. Pleasure to watch. I like Your voice and pronunciation, its easy to understand for a non-native english speaking person, like me. Greetings from Poland.
9:30 - No turbocharger is water cooled. All turbos are oil cooled. Some turbos are water-jacketed. There is a difference. The water jacket, as you said, is not mandatory. You can run a turbo with a water jacket without water and you'll be fine. Since again, it is not there for active cooling. The water jacket is simply there to prevent oil coking in the event the system is shut down with a very hot turbine housing (as you said). You can avoid oil coking by either running the system for a short period (no water) to cool things down, or apply a water jacket to passively cool after shutdown. 10:22 - Almost no automotive setups have water flowing through the CHRA jacket after shutdown. The process relies on convection.
The turbochargers you are talking about are intercooled. This setup isn't, so what he's doing with water cooling is preventing heat from soaking into the compressor during operation, increasing the efficiency of the turbojet. He's using science, not blind copying from an automotive system comprised of additional components. Yes, he's smarter than you are -- live with it.
Thanks from the Uk. What an excellent Teacher, Explains everything so well Its really given me a lift, And when I've finish my jet powered go cart I'm gonna be flying. I always wanted a teacher like this when I was a school, Oh well never to late to learn, TY!.
you may have a dc offset in your audio - when i skip around the video i hear clicks and that is a symptom of dc offset (or a lot of bass rumble). use a high pass filter and dc offset removal on your audio. your audio interface might have a switch for that in hardware or software.
I have a huge Caterpillar turbocharger sitting in my shelf, I scored it on ebay before I did the calculations. It would be to big and sadly it looked like it came from a sunken ship... So I bought a tiny Smart turbocharger, but the seller forgot to mention, that a nut or screw had crushed the compressor wheel. I gave up long time ago... I am very happy to see you are using a normal sized turbo for this video/upcoming test...that means you have something similar to that caterpillar turbocharger I talked about for the staging you talked about :)
Funny how you find the video with the best explanation of turbocharger specifications in a non-engine/racing specific channel... although I'm not that surprised I guess, this man is the king of demonstration videos and fundamental concepts conveying for a wide range of subject matter!
This was posted in perfect time. I have a final school project coming up for college and I'm really set on building a turbojet for it. Cant wait till the start-up video! Subscribed!
Thanks, that helps. Such a project will require that you explain the physics that underlies the process. Hopefully, we gave you a jump start on that aspect as well.
I just found your channel, and I must say. You have the best way of explaining something very complicated and putting into laymen terms. Beautiful speaking and just beautiful presentation of the model. I'm looking forward to binging your videos and looking forward to the fire up of this engine!
absolutely love your videos...I wish u were my neighbor...Omg! It's the detail and the terminology that you use while explaining the situation in all of its method, components, function, related info, context, and application. Excluding the math that would deter most, as u already have anticipated I am sure, but providing the precise terminology with appropriate elaboration of the relationship between variables within the relative theory..Great! If one should choose to escape into their own scribble scrabbling of jots and tiddles, or today, hashtag and shorthand, then one could satisfy their curiosity by researching the terms and function to attempt the math...You do well in providing a balance of precise and efficient analysis...Any young inquisitive mind very much interested in the hard sciences or those more related to the application of mathematics, theory, and empirical evidence would most benefit from your videos...Truly, they are incredible! Great Work! God Bless you...The creator would be happy in what truly u are doing...
Much great info as usual! In terms of automotive applications I had heard generally why compound turbos are a thing and why you need to properly size your turbo to your engine but its nice to here a more technical explanation. Love your content!
So i am at 16:44 right now, and i spotted something that might be of interest to you if you wish to puruse this project which i have really enjoyed so far. All the holes bored into the flame bearing vessel, are perpendicular to the flame housing itself. What you end up with are a lot of air pressure being wasted on competing with itself for flame housing presence. - So to speak. They should also be at a small angle towarads the flame housing itself so that the air pressure you introduce into it, wont cancel itself out competing with itself. You should see a small boost in performance, nothing major mind you.
Just stick a steel dowel pin in each hole and bend the steel a few degrees i think your less likely to change the aera of the openings this way and it's a fast way to test.
Which is why the holes on combustion chambers in turbine engines can look like a cheese grater. But more often (which is hard to build in a home shop) the combustion chamber narrows before the secondary and tertiary holes and is the original diameter right after them.
Thank you very much. Your explanation of the flame tube design was very informative. Your piece on thermodynamics also helped me to finally understand why the pumps pumping water into the boiler in steam power plants dont consume as much power as you get out of the power plant.
Or maybe they see through his nice presentation. Yes, he does very nice things and i respect all the projects, but he is definetly overselling them. The builds are beautiful but as someone with a bit of backround knowledge you will understand that he does not know much more then most others who have done videos on these subjects. Dont get me wrong, his videos are very nice and most likely an inspiration to many but he is not the wise guy he is pretending to be, so some may be offended by it and see him as a poser.@@captainTubes
@@NIOC630 He plainly said in the video that his presentation and build was based on a synthesis of information from websites and forums that he had scoured. That proves that he is not in any way "pretending to be" a "wise guy". Your comment seems disingenuous to me. Either that or you didn't watch the video. I watched some of your videos. Nice engines! But you give no information. Maybe you are a member of some of those forums he learned from and your videos are cited in your posts there? At any rate, your videos on their own are useless for learning anything as far as I can see.
Thanks! You might find some of our other videos to be interesting. We try to produce material that is content rich and even topics you don't usually follow may be eye opening.
A shout out to whoever is manning the camera. The camera person was spot-on every time; whatever part, area, or component that was being discussed the camera was on it!
Excellent Video. Love your channel. A few years ago I built my own Turbine engine for Radio Control. Lots of fun, very challenging but also very rewarding in the end. The oil exiting a Turbo Charger relys more on gravity and not pressure to return back to the oil tank. You may want to change your Turbo drain line to a metal tube to prevent any chance of restricting the returning oil. If your plastic line collapses (because of the heat) and causes a restriction, the oil will find another path usually past the shaft bearings. I don't know the rating of the line you are using but I do know the returning oil from a Turbo Charger is very Hot and could cause issues with your plastic line. Looking forward to more videos. Cheers Willy
I simply cannot get over the quality of your videos...They are more valuable than any one device or even most college engineering studies...Aside from fully accounting for the math, even still, provide the appropriate amount of precise explanation to allow one to advance to such devices...And ur personality is very humble and with ur obvious love for our "natural science" is contagious...Again, I think you...and I will be telling everyone...In fact, I will most likely advertise your credit about my platforms...I also am very interested in pursuing a drone project and have observed you seek to apply at least one concept I had thought of...It was excellent! I definiteoy will be in touch and most likely will reach out to have you manufacture the rotor "mounts", for lack of a better word...Great Job! Thank you!

@@TechIngredients You create a quality content and are very good at explaining things. It's pure joy to watch and learn. And the "son of the main presenter" gig was hilarious, almost a trademark by now :)
Great explanation of the logic behind the combustion chamber 👍
Thanks!
I've been interested in these homemade turbojets for years. Still can't figure out why the combustion chamber's seem way out of scale to the turbo size.
@Brian Borell Fuel burn speed/combustion air velocity. You want all the fuel to burn within the combustion chamber and never within the turbine. As he says in the video you want fully burned slightly cooled exhaust gas entering the turbine, because combustion temps will exceed the temp threshold of the turbine.
1st time i got it man!
@@beachboardfan9544 I think it's called a flame tube or burner can but judging by your in-depth response I'm thinking you might've known that already.
Simply THE best video I've EVER seen explaining the various components, aspects and procedures of a gas turbine.
Thank you for sharing this information.
Regards Mark in the UK
Welcome and thank you!
This is a incredibly beautiful turbocharger setup
engineering-ly beautiful setups is what this guy does :D
I don't know how much you're going to make from this video but it's not enough. Well done, Sir. I can't express enough how much I enjoyed this video.
Thanks, that's nice to hear.
I love this channel so much. It's amazing to see you grow.
Been Working on and off on a turbocharger gas turbine engine since H.S. I have already learned so much from your clear and articulate presentation of this project, Thank You!
You're welcome!
I hope you get it working. We will be covering a low speed, high torque turbine to convert this into a turboshaft. You might find more applications for your engine with a rotary output.
Another compelling video - just love your work. Thanks for all you do in such amazing detail. Can but imagine all the time you have invested. Look fwd very much to the next video.
Yes - AgentJZ does some great videos on jet engines.
Crystal clear explanation of turbocharger operation. This guy is an amazing teacher. All his videos are great!
Thank you!
Great video as always, looking forward to see the second part.
Thanks! Soon...
Love every video you put out. It's hard to find such information dense content on YT anymore. Don't change your style.
It's the main presenter's son's father. Got to like this video before even watching it.
I prefer....the father of the son of the....lol... damn right !
I'm my own grandpa.
Och they're both pretty good. The son is learning but he's still really clued up :)
@@davegtar Main presenter Jr. is definitely on the right track. Both are good at what they present in this channel
Everytime.
I appreciate that your videos are not littered with ads. Very informative.
So much great info in one video! Love your presentation style. Thanks for posting!
Sure!
This man explains in common street layman's terms, simply enough for all of us to understand without need for redundant duplication, varied/various complex terms, some of which border Calculus and the Fourth dimension; Pure Genius! Thanks!
*Tech Ingredients* What a fantastically educational video, I appreciate your detailed explanations, video style, and calm demeanor. Most interesting video I have seen in a long time!
I was wondering if you'd take it under consideration to do a future build on a PDE (Pulse Detonation Engine) which is inherently different and much more powerful than a pulse jet style engine. They have always been my favorite since the physics of their operation is not entirely known or explained. Thank you again!
We already are. Our poor neighbors...
@@TechIngredients this makes me so very happy. are you going to employ the use of a detonation spiral?
Probably not, they don't last long. We have a small detonation chamber followed by an aperture into the main tube.
@@TechIngredients oh, that's a shame. is the chamber a special shape?
Also, do you think making the spiral hollow and water cooled would help?
"The physics of operation is not entirely understood", what? To my knowledge, the principles are very well understood. The problem that is a bit more difficult is related to starting the cycle.
Great video, thank you!!
One thing that stuck with me about doing custom turbo work is that you should have the oil flow through centre cartridge to be as close to verticle as possible. It looks like your oil flow may be more horizontal? Not sure if this will cause any issues. Most turbochargers can be "clocked" fairly easily to get the oil inlet right up top. Keep up the great work!
Undoubtedly one of the most informative and technically precise turbocharger-jet conversion videos on RUclips (not to mention the tidiest!).
I've previously heard the various turbocharger design terms used (A/R ratio etc.), but had no idea what they actually meant or how to apply them to a design process. Nice shoutout to AgentJayZ, the fountain of turbine knowledge. The moment I saw the lock-wiring on the combustion chamber baffle plate I was reminded of his excellent video on the subject. Guy has SO MUCH real-world knowledge and such a straightforward no-nonsense presentation. Good stuff!
I've seen sooooo many turbo jet engines on RUclips now, each with varying levels of wow factor, but this one is just absolutely *beautiful* :O
This looks like a collab between Clickspring, This Old Tony, and NASA :P It's impressively detailed and so clean looking!
I'm excited for the next episode! :D
As a mechanical engineer that opted to take controls courses instead of compressible fluids, this was incredibly interesting and informative. Your presentation style is outstanding, I cant believe how confidently and quickly you can give such a detailed lecture without stumbling.
Also enjoyed the shoutout to diesel efficiency 😅
Thanks!
Yesssssssss been waiting for this one!!!!! This and the magnetohydrodynamic drive are super interesting
This is the very best, most knowledgeable and clearly articulated explanation of factors influencing turbo performance that I have ever seen. Fantastic!
Thank you!
It's the owner of the property upon which the main presenters lab is built
One of the best engineering explanation videos I've ever seen, it helped improve my understanding of so many different sub-topics that I wouldn't have expected from the just the title!
You might enjoy some of our other videos. The content is much denser than the titles imply.
One of the top two channels on RUclips. Applied Science being the other one. (App Sci more about proof of concept, Tech ing more engineering. Together they'd take over the world!). You guys deserve proper funding and if I can ever help with that I will. Not only great content, you guys should run an incubator for tech start ups, something I have done a lot of but in 2019 what we lack globally is investment into the skills base. It tends to be knowledge based investment which has a high failure rate. Good work guys, really great stuff.
"top two channels on RUclips"
I feel the same way.
Wow...... your videos and your explanation is so perfect!!! This channel has reached a God-level in engineering. I hate why it has so less subscribers........!!!!!!
We'll get there. Please... spread the word!
There are plenty of low information density science and technology channels that will waste your time with childish stunts and antics. Channels like this, that grow organically based on the quality of their content, are much better.
Damn it - I'm up to date with my watching, and now have to WAIT for the next vid.
best I've ever heard it explained, plenty of detail not over technical
Is there a form I can sign to make you my uncle? You would literally be the best uncle on planet earth, period.
Enjoying a glass of wine in the southern hemisphere evening sun and watching one of your videos. Living the dream?? I think so.
Will there be a afterburner build for this?
reheat!
Probably the best explanation of the thermodynamics.No jargon such as enthalpy used and yet I understood entire thing
Another great video! Explaining a dry subject in an easily understandable interesting way.
One question though .......
....... Have you talked to the neighbours beforehand this time? ;0)
That demonstration about why higher compression ratios give better efficiency was just brilliant. I've never seen it explained so clearly, making it bleedingly obvious. Great!
Thanks!
Just found your channel, immediately subbed! Thank you sir!
Thanks, that helps!
I am blown away by the presentation and engineering detail of this build. More over, many rules of turbo charging, no matter the application, are brought to light.
Thanks!
JayZ mention, automatic +1. Was the chanel that made understand how jet engine worked.
The guy just has so much real-world knowledge, and presents it in such a no-nonsense way. Great channel!
High quality content.
Pleasure to watch.
I like Your voice and pronunciation, its easy to understand for a non-native english speaking person, like me.
Greetings from Poland.
Thank you!
I try to make these videos as easy to understand as I can.
9:30 - No turbocharger is water cooled. All turbos are oil cooled. Some turbos are water-jacketed. There is a difference.
The water jacket, as you said, is not mandatory. You can run a turbo with a water jacket without water and you'll be fine. Since again, it is not there for active cooling.
The water jacket is simply there to prevent oil coking in the event the system is shut down with a very hot turbine housing (as you said). You can avoid oil coking by either running the system for a short period (no water) to cool things down, or apply a water jacket to passively cool after shutdown.
10:22 - Almost no automotive setups have water flowing through the CHRA jacket after shutdown. The process relies on convection.
The turbochargers you are talking about are intercooled. This setup isn't, so what he's doing with water cooling is preventing heat from soaking into the compressor during operation, increasing the efficiency of the turbojet. He's using science, not blind copying from an automotive system comprised of additional components. Yes, he's smarter than you are -- live with it.
Nuh uh!
Thanks from the Uk. What an excellent Teacher, Explains everything so well Its really given me a lift, And when I've finish my jet powered go cart I'm gonna be flying. I always wanted a teacher like this when I was a school, Oh well never to late to learn, TY!.
you may have a dc offset in your audio - when i skip around the video i hear clicks and that is a symptom of dc offset (or a lot of bass rumble). use a high pass filter and dc offset removal on your audio. your audio interface might have a switch for that in hardware or software.
If only professors could lecture like this guy. Seriously, learn alot. Very clear and concise.
That's great, thanks!
Will the true king of random please stand up
You are joking, right?
Who's the King of Random?
This comment didn't age well.
Kinda in poor taste being that he passed away
I mean they have Grace now, so... :)
I could listen to your explanation for hours ! Thanks so much 😊
I have a huge Caterpillar turbocharger sitting in my shelf, I scored it on ebay before I did the calculations. It would be to big and sadly it looked like it came from a sunken ship... So I bought a tiny Smart turbocharger, but the seller forgot to mention, that a nut or screw had crushed the compressor wheel. I gave up long time ago...
I am very happy to see you are using a normal sized turbo for this video/upcoming test...that means you have something similar to that caterpillar turbocharger I talked about for the staging you talked about :)
No such thing as too big for a jet you will just make mass power/thrust I'd use it
Funny how you find the video with the best explanation of turbocharger specifications in a non-engine/racing specific channel... although I'm not that surprised I guess, this man is the king of demonstration videos and fundamental concepts conveying for a wide range of subject matter!
Thanks!
Thumbs up just for the intro!!:)
Thanks!
This was posted in perfect time. I have a final school project coming up for college and I'm really set on building a turbojet for it. Cant wait till the start-up video! Subscribed!
Thanks, that helps.
Such a project will require that you explain the physics that underlies the process. Hopefully, we gave you a jump start on that aspect as well.
Still Waiting on the afterburner video... Also would be awsome to see him make a diesel version
I just found your channel, and I must say. You have the best way of explaining something very complicated and putting into laymen terms. Beautiful speaking and just beautiful presentation of the model. I'm looking forward to binging your videos and looking forward to the fire up of this engine!
Thanks!
drag guys heard 145mm turbo and were like "pfff you ever seen a pro mod?"
absolutely love your videos...I wish u were my neighbor...Omg! It's the detail and the terminology that you use while explaining the situation in all of its method, components, function, related info, context, and application. Excluding the math that would deter most, as u already have anticipated I am sure, but providing the precise terminology with appropriate elaboration of the relationship between variables within the relative theory..Great! If one should choose to escape into their own scribble scrabbling of jots and tiddles, or today, hashtag and shorthand, then one could satisfy their curiosity by researching the terms and function to attempt the math...You do well in providing a balance of precise and efficient analysis...Any young inquisitive mind very much interested in the hard sciences or those more related to the application of mathematics, theory, and empirical evidence would most benefit from your videos...Truly, they are incredible! Great Work! God Bless you...The creator would be happy in what truly u are doing...
AgentJayZ will love this!
Though he will point out that a turbine is acted on by air, the "input turbine" is no turbine at all..
An issue of semantics. The design is the same and the process is the same, just reversed. Kinda like a piston in a reciprocating engine.
@@TechIngredients True! Great video! just had him speaking in my mind when you said that ;-)
Much great info as usual! In terms of automotive applications I had heard generally why compound turbos are a thing and why you need to properly size your turbo to your engine but its nice to here a more technical explanation. Love your content!
So i am at 16:44 right now, and i spotted something that might be of interest to you if you wish to puruse this project which i have really enjoyed so far. All the holes bored into the flame bearing vessel, are perpendicular to the flame housing itself. What you end up with are a lot of air pressure being wasted on competing with itself for flame housing presence. - So to speak.
They should also be at a small angle towarads the flame housing itself so that the air pressure you introduce into it, wont cancel itself out competing with itself.
You should see a small boost in performance, nothing major mind you.
You're right! Check out the flame tubes for some of the turbojets on Agent JayZ's channel.
Ohh thank you very very much!
Just stick a steel dowel pin in each hole and bend the steel a few degrees i think your less likely to change the aera of the openings this way and it's a fast way to test.
Which is why the holes on combustion chambers in turbine engines can look like a cheese grater. But more often (which is hard to build in a home shop) the combustion chamber narrows before the secondary and tertiary holes and is the original diameter right after them.
Thank you very much. Your explanation of the flame tube design was very informative. Your piece on thermodynamics also helped me to finally understand why the pumps pumping water into the boiler in steam power plants dont consume as much power as you get out of the power plant.
Sure!
I really don't understand the people who disliked this video ?????!!!!
They don't have the patience for his words.
Or maybe they see through his nice presentation. Yes, he does very nice things and i respect all the projects, but he is definetly overselling them. The builds are beautiful but as someone with a bit of backround knowledge you will understand that he does not know much more then most others who have done videos on these subjects. Dont get me wrong, his videos are very nice and most likely an inspiration to many but he is not the wise guy he is pretending to be, so some may be offended by it and see him as a poser.@@captainTubes
It seems to me that being offended is an art form in itself nowadays. I'm not dissing your post btw which I find insightful.
Offended was most likely not the best choice of words.@@theflyingfool
@@NIOC630 He plainly said in the video that his presentation and build was based on a synthesis of information from websites and forums that he had scoured. That proves that he is not in any way "pretending to be" a "wise guy". Your comment seems disingenuous to me. Either that or you didn't watch the video.
I watched some of your videos. Nice engines! But you give no information. Maybe you are a member of some of those forums he learned from and your videos are cited in your posts there? At any rate, your videos on their own are useless for learning anything as far as I can see.
Amazed at what you do. Your explanation makes so much sense. Thanks for showing this.
"Turbo Chargers..., Do You HAVE to Love Them?"
Sigh... Alright, but I can see right now that this won't end well for me.
:-D
I have never learned this much in 30 mins until I watched your video. Absolutely thankful for all this knowledge.
Thanks!
You might find some of our other videos to be interesting. We try to produce material that is content rich and even topics you don't usually follow may be eye opening.
You make me feel smart because I fully understand what you're saying
Then you leave me and I face reality
i r sad
This was so awesome to watch. Quarantine RUclips suggestions, bless!
colin furze: "hold my tea"
That's hilarious!
You mean, “Hold my loo holder”?
A shout out to whoever is manning the camera. The camera person was spot-on every time; whatever part, area, or component that was being discussed the camera was on it!
16 dislikes come from the pee-ons who think they know it all. Great vid yet again Tech Ingredients!
Excellent Video. Love your channel. A few years ago I built my own Turbine engine for Radio Control. Lots of fun, very challenging but also very rewarding in the end.
The oil exiting a Turbo Charger relys more on gravity and not pressure to return back to the oil tank. You may want to change your Turbo drain line to a metal tube to prevent any chance of restricting the returning oil. If your plastic line collapses (because of the heat) and causes a restriction, the oil will find another path usually past the shaft bearings.
I don't know the rating of the line you are using but I do know the returning oil from a Turbo Charger is very Hot and could cause issues with your plastic line.
Looking forward to more videos.
Cheers
Willy
I simply cannot get over the quality of your videos...They are more valuable than any one device or even most college engineering studies...Aside from fully accounting for the math, even still, provide the appropriate amount of precise explanation to allow one to advance to such devices...And ur personality is very humble and with ur obvious love for our "natural science" is contagious...Again, I think you...and I will be telling everyone...In fact, I will most likely advertise your credit about my platforms...I also am very interested in pursuing a drone project and have observed you seek to apply at least one concept I had thought of...It was excellent! I definiteoy will be in touch and most likely will reach out to have you manufacture the rotor "mounts", for lack of a better word...Great Job! Thank you! For anyone who doesn't see the value in these tutorials, let them read this and hear me say, " Best instructional vids on RUclips in respect to engineering and problem-solving....and even DYI or simply science...again, Thanks and God Bless
First of all, I really love what you guys do, very informative and easy to listen to. One thing I hope you'll cover in the future, is how to make biodiesel at home using Algae DIY. Keep up the good work. I watch every episode that youtube tells me about.
As an engineer it is so refreshing to see other like minded professionals explaining in depth principles, processes and procedures very clearly and concisely without all the blaring ska/punk music and screaming into the camera every 17 seconds. Looking at you Mr. Furze. Hahaha, I love you dearly crazy man. When it comes down to it, these are just two passionate professionals on total opposite ends of the spectrum of transforming our shared dreams of mechanical madness into reality. Keep up the excellent work guys.
Thanks!
He has a shtick and that's ok. It's entertaining and if that attracts an audience that sticks around for the useful information then I support it. Personally, I find it a little tedious, but that's me and some people have commented that our approach is a little dry and that's ok too. It takes all kinds, it's all good.
Probably the most interesting thing i've watched on RUclips.
Boy that's about the smartest guy I've ever listened to on RUclips
Really an amazing video. Well organized, clear presentation, and of course very interesting content! It never ceases to amaze me how far this channel has come from the laser videos that originally got me hooked.
A video you can watch multiple times and still learn something . 😁 awesome test stand setup 👌
