Does anyone have pictures on the vapor tubes welded to the outer combustin chamber ? Length of the tubes ? Tapered end facing the rear I assume ? Looking to the inside / axle or to the outside ? ...
@PAUL TWYMAN This KP35 has a machined outer shell (which is HEAVY) and it doesn't look like anywhere could possibly leak. I might have to tweak my NGV to improve the air flow a bit. Thanks!
@YUAN CAO THAT`S WHAT I DO USE A DAB OF LOCTITE DO NOT USE SUPERGLUE AS HEAT DESTROYS THE ADHESIVE OF THE SUPERGLUE.HAVE YOU CHECKED FOR LEAKAGES FROM THE CASING,IF YOUR STARTING MOTOR IS QUIET YOU...
@PAUL TWYMAN Hi Paul, Thanks for kindly replying. I couldn't feel much acceleration when feeding propane/fuel at 22krpm. The seller told me the idle speed is around 60k, and considering thi...
use both wavy spring washers one on each bearing. if the wavy spring is slack you will have to use shims on kj66 the preload is 16lb but it runs much better on 8 but then on a kj66 preload is a 1" ...
Hi guys, I've successfully built and ignited my KP35, and even installed a starter motor on it. On propane it burns nicely and does not flame out easily. However no luck getting it to self...
@Sean Anderson what does this do Sean? A manual fuel controller using pwm sensing for rpm? I don't know much about fuel control, I saw the xicoy manufacture a few different apparatus ...
In another thread it was mentioned the kp35 doesn't have functional thrust. The thrust to weight ratio would likely be less than 1. You won't get a better platform than this kit however, mor...
I was recently inspired by Austin McChord's jet-powered combat robot to create a jet bot of my own in the 12-pound division, and the KP35 is the ideal engine for the job due to its low price and co...
@Seth Tyson what size turbine are you planning on using?
You could design fuel bypass controlled with needle valve and use pwm for pump control as well
Anybody have luck being able to sustain combustion? Even on propane it won't accelerate past air start rpms. In trouble shooting, here's where I stand: I milled my NGV holes at exact...
CAD files for larger projects would be nice.
Very minimal amounts of fuel. Aproximatley 4-6oz a minute. Pressure must be greater than internal pressure. Otherwise backflow will occur. Small fuel pump with 7.2v battery works well. Use attenuat...
@Mini Jets excellent! Thank you for the update!
What kind of pressure do I need to run for the diesel? I've got my kp35 turning and burning, but it won't sustain on propane. When the rpms (from air start) really start spooling it up, it blows ou...
@Seth Tyson Yes, thats the plan. Well let everyone know here on the forum as soon as its available.
