is making one wax part (for in Isobar kit.... he doesn't know
this yet) .. I have been talking to a Casting Company
today and the cost for one part is less than any BVM kit..
If production was to start... every thing changes...
Modelman explained to me how to make molds to make
many wax parts, and your right, things get expensive...
BTW... I double checked my thrust calculation using
a BVM fan I calculated around 9 lbs of thrust at
24000 absorbing 4.5 hp... This is fairly close to
the real thing.. (I think.. not sure) This does not take into
account its %80 efficient.
The amount of power available for the turbo fan
is around 22-28 hp... (16.4 - 20.0 KW) ...
That is a tremendous amount of power !!!
An 8 pound DA-150 piston only has 16.5 hp...
When this gizmo get bolted to that back of a
TJT-3000 (thanks Chris).... HOLD ON
All pics and video will be public, you can be right there
when it fails or becomes the Master Blaster.

whats up Shane.. Yea.. the F15 was a something else... (junk)
I have been non stop RC jets since the last time I saw you.
15 years ago.. ?
Good to hear from you..
BTW.... the drawings above are only concept drawings
to see if it can be made..
This drawing is final. Modelman will be getting an
email with this a file attached of this part..
Its bigger than before at 6.4 inch dia but this
should give that much more thrust..

If anyone wants to see this thing close up, just download (2.6mb)
http://www.corpcomp.com/weeks1/turbofan/turbofan.ex_
Rename the turbofan.ex_ to turbofan.exe and double
click on it....
Turbofan.exe has an eviewer built in where you can
rotate in 3D space, Zoom, and even play a movie of
the part moving around... The turbofan is getting
old, but the viewer really slick..
