Radial Jet #2
Planning for this engine started during the summer of 2002. After I realized that the first one was finished--meaning that the turbocharger was gone, and the flame tube was very inefficient, I decided it was time to make another one. This time, Im looking for a bigger turbo, so I can produce thrust, and afterburners. Im looking for something along the lines of a diesel truck turbo. As for now, all I have is some crazy designs in my head, and a few parts.
The
oil pump.
The
oil filter. Its old and beat up, but with some cleaner, and a toothbrush,
it will work again.
5/7/03-Got the new turbo, its the same kind as RJ1, but a lot nicer. Using a CAD design, I had the combustion chamber and flanges machined, and today I drilled all the hole in the flame tube.
