Re: Home made jet engine
I like it! I don't know much about jets - any idea why it doesn't sustain ignition? And what are they using to spool it up? Sounds like a vacuum cleaner, but I couldn't tell from the video. I think it's way cool that these guys pooled their resources and made something. Maybe the youth of today (hey, they're youth to me) AREN'T going to hell in a handbasket.

Neat trick, the 5 gallon bucket of gas right under that red hot turbo is a little sketchy though...

Do they have to pump air down into the exhaust side to start the tubine spinning?
