I haven't posted on here for a couple of years so I thought id get back in to it.
I recently compleated my turbocharger based gas turbine, and for ease designed it to run on propane, no fuel pump, not atomisation of liquid fuel, no worries. However the little engine is ridiculously thirsty.
Link to a test run below
The first thing that was required is a new head for the combustion chamber. I placed the gas only one on top of the new piece of steel and glued them together with CA glue I then used a transfer punch and marked out the position of the new holes
The centre punch marks were then drilled out to 8mm
Once the holes were drilled I demurred the holes with a countersink bit
The lid was then fitted to the combustion chamber to ensure the bolt holes aligned
The next thing to do will be to machine a recess in to the lid to accept the flame tube.
