Can this be cast from Inconel.. ?
Originally posted by Ron Stahl Eddie I checked with our people here at work and I was right the cost would be in the tens of thousands of dollars for doing the tooling and first one then the price goes way down as all production items do. 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. Eddie Weeks |

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.. Eddie Weeks |

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..
