Looking into a turbine test stand any body know where i can get my hands on one.Been looking but with no success thus far.Thank's.

I have designed a turbine test stand that I will be marketing soon for guys who like to check things out before putting them into their jet.

I have two versions made up. along with some other cool tools to us in the shop.

Do what I did. The heck with a traditional test stand, I built mine onto the back of my mountain bike so I can go for a Jet A powered ride while test running!

I would expect no less from a rocket scientist!!!!

Ed

I should have known rocket man would do that , what a wild man.

I want to see pics

I was going to put mine on the wagon that I pull my jet around on.

Here is mine. Works well for me.

Mark, you're holding out on me?? I want to go for a ride!! I'll bring a Ram 1000 if you bring the space helmet for when it blows us out of here!!

Sean, as an ex RAM guy, I know that we would have no need for the Space Helmet (PLSS or Portable Life Support System in the Apollo years). All of that rotational energy would be expended radially away from the turbine, orthogonally to our flight path, when ye old RAM rear bearing let go. A loud bang and then we'd be walking and pushin' the bike home. If I truly thought that a RAM explosion could get me into Low Earth Orbit, I'd have tried it by now. (sigh)....

T33JetMan, I have some video (I put it on a DVD) of me riding the beast, but I am not sure I know how to get it into a format to post and do not have the time to try right now. Bug me via PM between Christmas & New Years and I might give it a go!

Wocketman, you kill me everytime

Merry Christmas buddy,

Hope to see you in the '05 circuit.

Sean

Dave,

That's a nice stand. I really like the way you used drawer slides for the turbine table. Simple and effective way for measuring thrust. What slides did you use? I know there's a world of difference in resistance between the many available.

Test stand that move you

Tom,
I I can't remember the brand now but the were the high end ones from Lowes. effortless slide, with lots of ball bearings.

Dave

Yup, that's the general idea. Just swap out the go cart for my mountain bike.

Here you go- http://www.TJT.bz/products2.php And Iam reasonably close by also, in Belleville.

Cheers-

Here is a picture of the stands I was producing.
