Hello everyone, I have something new for you to see relating to the gas turbine engine:-
I hope you enjoy it. I'm still working hard on the milling machine to get it finished. Then I can progress the engine.

I think I know who you bought that igniter from, was it this one? https://ebay.us/m/5G8ZtMHi everyone, here are two new installments for you:-
If so I know the guy and chat to him often, he sent me 2 of the opened boxes for free and I got them cleaned up and working again before sending off to Yorkshire Air museum as they needed some for a build. Still got one myself I got from auction that I 3d printed a replacement cover for along with half a rolls Royce Allison 250 and other turbine parts.

Yes it was him. Sounds like you are involved in some very interesting projects. I'm really glad you liked the videos. Sounds like you did great work with those igniter units.
Haha I just understood how they worked so checked them over cleaned the contacts to get them firing and sent off to the museum, I believe they have a few others they need looking at as part of the restoration of a gloster meteor but not heard anything yet.
They're surprisingly simple and use the same trimbler mechanism in old doorbells/tattoo guns to produce the lethal power involved, I made a modern version using the ebay 6v high voltage "taser" modules to charge a microwave capacitor for my homemade jet engine.
He's the one involved in the cool stuff including the Australian jet powered boat going for the water speed record and helped with the restoration of bluebird k7, he's got loads of new old stock for orpheus engines (used in both bosts) from Italian military spare stock (hence Italian writing for that igniter tags) and he's very well connected in the aviation/classics including knowing the guy with the only flying fiat g91 for example.
