Insane! Homemade jet engine burns red hot and screams flame

Personally, I wouldn't stand there filming the thing while it was running!
Fletchsays...

The two centrifugal pumps for turbines look kinda strange. Inlet at the back discharges to the outlet of the second stage? Then again, I guess it would have to, as the second stage wouldn't be very efficient if it was discharging into a volute of increasing size. (??)

Dear god that looks dangerous... I too would be in no way surprised if that thing just blew apart showering the area in jet fuel.

Hey, they made a jet engine, cool... but anything that glows that red hot can't be that safe surely?

MINKsays...

lol@fletch... these guys are just amateurs, right?

anyway, i can't think of a safer place to test a PSAD.

No centrifugal pumps there, its a large turbo, probably off a quite large diesel engine, and despite how angry it sounds, its not working that much harder than when it would be on an engine.. probably hotter, but not much harder..

biggest danger with that sort of thing is melting fuel lines etc.. fire.. fire is bad, except when its coming out of your own jet engine, then its gooOood.

As long as its not too late at night, they probably aren't breaking too many rules.. it does however look like a commercial garage anyway.
