Hi all, Thank you for watching😊 For all who want to see the variable nozzle I made, some time ago, klick on the link. In the middle of the video, you can see my variable nozzle working. I have to improve the actuation system. Sometimes it got stuck, due to heat deformation. Next test will be with improved nozzle and an ignition system for the afterburner.💪 Andy
I use to do it in a 200-500K housing development back in the early mid 2000's🤣 all but 3 residents were terrified of me. One time a woman in her late 20's was drug up in my driveway by her great dane. My ignition was $#it, the combustion chamber was purged of o2 by propane and I was committed to strike it and hit the start air. I swear that woman looked like a cartoon flying behind her dog, it was a bit more spl than a 12ga shotgun. I felt bad but the stage was set and would have been worse had I tried to stall because the flame was lit at the exhaust and would imminently have drug the air inside and been much more violent🤷
No much told ;) Only some measured readings and a little about machining tollerances. Sorry but my english is no better than your german. If you want a special timestamp i will translate it for you:)
@@Praendy why it shold Not be of interrest for me ? Because the "afterburner " is nearly ineffektive? I have no problem with the truth. You are welcome :)
This guy has a LOT of confidence in his engineering. Wandering about within a few feet of something that might explode and throw out white-hot pieces of metal would give a health-and-safety inspector an instant heart attack. Just insane that this thing works as well as it does without melting. I have absolutely no doubt that he will have a fleet of supersonic aircraft operating within a couple of years.
If you know how jet engines, and health/safety inspectors work, there's no problem. If it's a hobby, it's not work related, no inspectors needed. If it goes around and wants to go to pieces, then we have to think the forces. It's much more dangerous to be on the side of that engine, instead of back/forth. If you're worrying about melting, well, it didn't. Because of materials.
@@lutomson3496 That's actually not a risk. It's the blades in the disk spinning at 40k - 200k rpm that are experiencing 50G - 100G that would be sent through the housing at ballistic speeds were anything to be ingested along with the 100 cubic meters per second that caused a catastrophic 'disassembly' ...

That's an impressive project! Afterburner pushes the steel to the limit. Beautiful glow so quickly. Seems like Weber is not only good for a grill, but for a jet engine as well.
Impressive! You are a true engineer. You obviously understand the need for cooling the combustion chamber and managing the flame shape. Too many hacks in this hobby think a junked turbo charger with a leaf blower forcing it is a jet engine. No, a true jest engine is self sustaining - like yours. German engineering at it's finest!
When you let off the throttle after you got the nozzle glowing and you saw the engine relax in its’ stand, I laughed out loud. This is awesome. Very cool as usual. -Jared von Die USA
Finally someone who knows his thermodynamics, need minimum 2 Bar to achieve sonic or supersonic flow thru the exhaust nozzle. Problem is a single stage compressor only gets 4 bar which isn't enough for the combustion chamber and AB. But this is the best video so far on the subject, Thank You!
Well you know what you are doing for sure, 57Kg of thrust for 16Kg of weight is no joke, and it cannot be achieved without a very good knowledge of the field. When you know that a BMW 003 was only producing 780Kg of thrust for 600Kg of weight. It is already a very advanced jet engine. Good Job, I'm waiting for the next video !

Outstanding progress, Andy! You're just shy of the theoretical upper limit on thrust for that size compressor, and for a single stage, that's remarkable! If freight wasn't so high, I've got a few 170mm compressor wheels around here somewhere that would really move some air in that setup. 😁 I recently picked up 17 rolls of aerospace stainless that needs attention this spring. Didn't need nearly that much, but the price was almost the same for 3 rolls as the whole lot. It was surplus to them, and they were going to scrap it otherwise. Noooo!
Hi, Thank you😃 170mm is a bit too much and hard to find a turbine wheel. Racketmotorman John from Australia has a 170mm compressor wheel running. He uses a Mitshbishi TF or TD 13 rotor. Andy
@@Praendy Weird question, but would a smaller turbine wheel cause problems? As with the reduction in exhaust comes more compression, maybe more speed of the turbine wheel = too much RPM?
@@Mediamarked Turbojets from much, much smaller compressor wheels have been successfully run, both on the hobby level and commercial markets for various uses. My first little runt was using a 70mm donor compressor. The things that you need to watch out for are more or less universal to all turbojets, which is limiting your exhaust gas temperature (EGT N1 for a single scroll), which will by nature limit your max rpm when all is operating at max efficiency. I've seen these built with really small 40mm units that wind up to 230,000 RPM, but at those speeds, running specialized ceramic bearings are an absolute must.
@@C-M-E Yes, but will the size difference between compressor and turbine wheel cause problems. That's what I meant to ask, if a 170mm compressor could be coupled to a 120mm turbine wheel for example, but would it cause more compression and rpm due to the reduced exhaust diameter? Most hobby jets have relatively comparable sized turbine wheels and compressors, so I guess a bigger compressor would not be more effective..
I must admit your Intelligence and know how is absolutely amazing. In my opinion you German's are the best when it comes to these kind of stuff. I can't even make a paper rocket.
It's very well designed. After burners are not designed to run infinity. They are for short bursts of extra power, so it's doing exactly what it's supposed to. Afterburner is the only way the Russian MIGs could even keep the SR71 Blackbird in sight for a short period. (Mach 3.2 my butt!) In doing so the Russians generally destroyed the aircraft in the process or at least severely damaged it.
Now I am going to have to make one for my RC jet, too. Thanks for setting the bar so low for average Joe’s like myself… just kidding. That was freaking cool. I think I have jet turbine envy.
I once made a jet engine with a motor from a vaccumcleaner !!! IT WORKED💯 For 5 seconds🤣🤣🤣 Sometimes the build is better than the run!🫣 Love that YOU made💪🏻😎👍🏻
Bravo. This is the best example of a designed and fabricated at home GT I have ever seen. It's making real usable power, and then you added your reheat. Again, all the other's I've seen are failures in comparison to what you have built. I congratulate you on your perserverence, skill, and dedication to your hobby. If a little is good, then more must be better!
@@paradoxx_4221 Uh, no it's not. Not even close. It's oil. Refined, clear oil. K1, J1 etc. Diesel and home heating oil is K2, J2. Gasoline is a whoooole other beast with benzine and all kinds of other crap added. Gasoline has a much lower ignition point. Actually it's not even that simple, and I don't feel like doing a white paper on a Sat morning. Search it up.
Man i always wanted to build a jet engine even though i am a pilot and that's what i have studied for i think after watching this i will began studying on my own time for a future project like this, this is amazing, thank you for the upload!
Strong thrust 👍. You could replace water cooling with shrouded ducted fan, the heat will taken away with cool air, basically that's how turbofan works 👍
I was actually wondering if that was accurate. The gauge is angled upward, but the sled is moving say 30* offset of that? I was wondering if there was some off-axis loss in the measurement, and it was actually a bit higher than his gauge shows.
WOW fancy seeing a model jet with the afterburner flame out the back, i used to fly jet engined model plane a few years ago they were awesome, but to have the after burner effect would be something else, well done sir
Great work! Looking forward to where this project goes next. Doing some very rough math here, but with dry thrust at 45kg and 1.8 l/min of euro diesel, I get a specific fuel consumption of 56.6 g/kN.s, inline with a mid-60's turbojet in afterburner:) If it was in a RC plane doing 360 kph, then fuel efficiency would be 3.9%!
@@PiDsPagePrototypes Diesel and Jet fuel are rather close in their properties. Jet fuel has a lower freezing point but also a slighthly lower energy density. For normal household turbine engines this differences nearly doesnt't matter.
@@matekochkoch Check out the test video with a comparison of Jet-A, Diesel, BioDiesel, and HydroDiesel, through a model jet engine, the results are not even close, with Jet-A burning hotter, turning more RPM and making more thrust - 65lbs vs 45lbs for regular Diesel. They might be close in BTU ratings, but they are not close in thier output. Jet-A is a highly refined and pure form of Kerosene.
Еще раз посмотрел ваше видео! Снова впечатлился! Осталось сделать регулируемое сопло и второй контур у турбины (больше кислорода в форсажную камеру). Успехов вам.
I am duly impressed. I do not know anybody. That makes, homemade jet engines for a hobby. That's one hell of a hobby. Holy moly! That Afterburner, just Incredible! And you caught it both times before it melted. Bravo! Way to go! That would've been an expensive and frustrating failure had it melted. And was truly impressive. I was also wondering why. You would want to start a forest fire in your backyard? I thought with that Afterburner. You wouldn't have to mow the grass anymore. It seems to have worked. Now that's the way to keep your lawn, neat and trimmed. Just push your jet engine with afterburner on around the yard. And you're done. How cool is a hot afterburner than that? Where are you going to fly it? Fly you to the moon? Something about silver stars? It looks like you are going places. Even when just, sitting still. Impressive indeed! RemyRAD
Hallo Andy, Absolut klasse gebaut Der Nachbrenner sowieso. Ich wünsche sehr du "fändest " einen " Hobbyflugzeug- Bauer" , der dir für kleines Geld ( wenn das überhaupt möglich ist ) die passende Flugzeugzelle mit Tragwerk dazu konstruiert und baut. Dann muss irgendwann noch die Zulassung nach " Luftverkehrs-Zulassungs- Ordnung " erfolgen und du hättest deinen " homemade" Privat- jet.... 😂
Hi, Ha, wenn das Mal alles so einfach wäre😊 Ich bau gerade das alles eine Nummer kleiner und dann kann ich das in ein "normales Nachbrennermodell" mit max. 25 Kg Abfluggewicht einbauen. Danke dir😊 Mfg Andy
I think the air bleed outlet used for the thermometer can be used both for forced cooling of a engine and jetpipe heat shield shroud, and as a potential method to refill pneumatic cannister for airbrakes,l & retractable undercarriages, and for partially pressurising the fuel system to help the fuel pump scavenge pick-up..
you are a seriously good engineer, what an absolutely drop dead gorgeous piece of equipment and its not just all show and blow, those thrust specs are amazing.
If you purchase materials with greater thermal fusion, especially at the exit of the cone, your engine will soon be ready to be sold. I wish you progress and success in your project, because the art of creating something and reaching such a level is fantastic.
These just keep getting more impressive. It’s hard to get a sense as to how efficient it is for the size for someone that isn’t aviation literate though. Can anyone give me a sense as to its power to weight ratio? How useable would this be in a full build?
Going by the specs in the description: TWR would be 57/16.2 - around 3.51 (with afterburner, and full reheat). For a real world full-sized comparison, an afterburning GE F110 (as used in F-16 and F-15E) has TWR of 7.5. If one were to use this engine on a RC build of let's say a F-16, the whole thing would need to keep within 62kg if the total TWR is to be followed. (The real F-16's TWR is 1.096)
@@teeteetuu94Following the math,.. so an RC F16 would need to mass around 48kilos for the model without the engine, to match the acceleration and climb rates of the fighter jet. Can't imagine that being to difficult to achive with modern composites, 3D printed and foam core materials.
@@Praendy It's nice. But there would be less overheating with a turbofan since the extra air (which doesn't enter the compressor) would form a protective layer around the engine.
@@bvideos8299 I am working on a new design, to get the nozzle cooler. Older jet engines (J 79) dont have a fan and dont have cold mix air and the nozzle doesnt glow. Thank you👍 Andy
Safety glasses won't do shit, if that thing wants to go apart. The metal parts will go through the safety glasses, your skull, and the car next to you.

And you caught it both times before it melted. Bravo! Way to go! That would've been an expensive and frustrating failure had it melted. And was truly impressive.
I was also wondering why. You would want to start a forest fire in your backyard? I thought with that Afterburner. You wouldn't have to mow the grass anymore. It seems to have worked. Now that's the way to keep your lawn, neat and trimmed. Just push your jet engine with afterburner on around the yard. And you're done. How cool is a hot afterburner than that?
Where are you going to fly it? Fly you to the moon? Something about silver stars?
It looks like you are going places. Even when just, sitting still. Impressive indeed!

Hallo Andy,
Absolut klasse gebaut
Der Nachbrenner sowieso.
Ich wünsche sehr du "fändest " einen " Hobbyflugzeug- Bauer" , der
dir für kleines Geld ( wenn das überhaupt möglich ist ) die passende Flugzeugzelle mit Tragwerk dazu konstruiert und baut. Dann muss irgendwann noch die Zulassung nach " Luftverkehrs-Zulassungs- Ordnung " erfolgen und du hättest deinen " homemade" Privat- jet.... 😂
Hi,
Ha, wenn das Mal alles so einfach wäre😊
Ich bau gerade das alles eine Nummer kleiner und dann kann ich das in ein "normales Nachbrennermodell" mit max. 25 Kg Abfluggewicht einbauen.
Danke dir😊
Mfg Andy
Germany at it's best! You guys are wonderfull. Well done. Good luck with your future projects.
Absolutely amazing to see this! Too bad that the thermometer popped out but that's something for next video i guess.
Keep it up!
I think the air bleed outlet used for the thermometer can be used both for forced cooling of a engine and jetpipe heat shield shroud, and as a potential method to refill pneumatic cannister for airbrakes,l & retractable undercarriages, and for partially pressurising the fuel system to help the fuel pump scavenge pick-up..
you are a seriously good engineer,
what an absolutely drop dead gorgeous piece of equipment
and its not just all show and blow, those thrust specs are amazing.
das geilste was ich seit langem gesehen habe
If you purchase materials with greater thermal fusion, especially at the exit of the cone, your engine will soon be ready to be sold. I wish you progress and success in your project, because the art of creating something and reaching such a level is fantastic.
immer wieder schön deine Projekte zu bestaunen.
Deine Azubis werden viel von dir lernen.
Zeig denen doch mal was mit Feststoff😁
WOW I'm impressed! - Making a jet engine from scratch has got to be difficult, but (technically speaking) it's hardly rocket science. 😉👍
Привет всем любителям турбореактивной тяги! Топим за безопасность!
Good bless you and those flames, true engineering
Super cool
You can even see the fuel level going down as it runs
love the sounds..... if you could build a turbofan you could cool it all down.... maybe....
This video is the cure for E.D. . Dam it's awesome
That's a real clean Homemade turbine !!!
So awesome. The workmanship involved in something like this is extreme and apparent.
These just keep getting more impressive. It’s hard to get a sense as to how efficient it is for the size for someone that isn’t aviation literate though. Can anyone give me a sense as to its power to weight ratio? How useable would this be in a full build?
Going by the specs in the description: TWR would be 57/16.2 - around 3.51 (with afterburner, and full reheat). For a real world full-sized comparison, an afterburning GE F110 (as used in F-16 and F-15E) has TWR of 7.5. If one were to use this engine on a RC build of let's say a F-16, the whole thing would need to keep within 62kg if the total TWR is to be followed. (The real F-16's TWR is 1.096)
@@teeteetuu94 thank you so much for that explanation!!
@@teeteetuu94Following the math,.. so an RC F16 would need to mass around 48kilos for the model without the engine, to match the acceleration and climb rates of the fighter jet.
Can't imagine that being to difficult to achive with modern composites, 3D printed and foam core materials.
Very very fantastic professional people.....and engine.
Many congratulations.
Отличная работа! Инженер с большой буквы!
i like the part where the fuel tank is right next to the afterburner and stuff very cool
WOW!!!!
Please build an RC F-16 around this engine.
This is amazing. Only the shiny material is the problem. In current fighters, a ceramic material is used inside the turbine.
"schatz der zigarettenanzünder is kaputt, ich hab nen neuen gebaut"
Und fürdenfön Habicht auch einenersatzgebaut
Wieviievielmehrboost bringtder nachbrenner
Oder wievielmwhrschub?
Respect sir, what brilliant engineering and craftsmanship.
Because of this guys hobby those damn Wind Turbines are turning in the background.
Отличный результат! 57 кг тяги это очень хороший результат!
Hi,
Is this a turbojet or a turbofan?
Hi,
This is a turbojet.
Andy
@@Praendy It's nice. But there would be less overheating with a turbofan since the extra air (which doesn't enter the compressor) would form a protective layer around the engine.
@@bvideos8299 I am working on a new design, to get the nozzle cooler.
Older jet engines (J 79) dont have a fan and dont have cold mix air and the nozzle doesnt glow.
Thank you👍
Andy
Wunderbar: Joy at 6:54 minutes. 6-8 ft/ 2-3 meter flame trail on afterburner and its not sucking a lot of fuel, very efficient burn.
Brilliant. And the howl... just wow. (but might I suggest wearing safety glasses?)
Safety glasses won't do shit, if that thing wants to go apart. The metal parts will go through the safety glasses, your skull, and the car next to you.
@@NjazmoHand tools, chemicals, debris, need I go on?
you are being sarcastic here right? :D
@@SHERMA.No.
Weight: 16.2 Kg with afterburner
Thrust: 57 kg (I assume with afterburner)
Very nice thrust to weight ratio.
Please put it in a rc plane we want to see this thing flying
Super video 👍👍 und als nächster Test bitte hinten in deinen Peugeot eingebaut :-) und dann den Verbrauch auf 100km testen *Sponsoren für Sprit* ;-)
Put it on a kart and drive around
😂😂
I am so happy youtube suggested me this. Amazing work!
PS.
Schöne weise Flamme👍
Just awesome!!!!! It looks so cool when the afterburner is ignited.
Realy AFTERBURNER
Not LED rings flashing,..... 😊
There's another engine build doing axial flow turbines, this would be fantastic on his engines.
Hola desde Chile, increíble que puedas fabricar tu propio motor jet con post quemador, no se nada de esto pero parece que en los jet de guerra la salida del motor lleva cerámicos por dentro para la temperatura... Te felicito
epic!
owwwww ohhhh dear thank you for this creation thank you for sharing this video , i have enjoyed every second and moment of watching it. absolutely perfect wowwww.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you my friend😊
Cheers Andy
It runs so smooth and ignites so easy. Beautiful. Das gut!
the afterburner turning on was the most insane thing ever
Amazing technology. Germans are amazing. Lockheed Martin needs you!
