Hi Guys Not much to report :-) things are happening but nothing much to show, bespoke water cut oil seal ordered ... mounting solution for the engine worked out, and after burner designed    Not sure yet if I am going with that spray ring for fuel to the afterburner or this one   But I Have got this made  All The Best Andy |

Looking super professional, how are your afterburner rings manufacturered?
E.g the revolved aerofoil one, would this be made from 3 pieces (a flat rolled piece, a rolled cone, a pressed doughnut) and then welded together?!
Work of art, looking forward to more updates 😃

Hi Andy Love the impingement boss :-) ...............nice bits. Cheers John Thanks John Am so glad i remember to include one before he had started on that part, would of been a shame to manage with some kind of half measure/bog So looking forward to getting this all together, hoping numbers come good once its running :-) All The Best Andy |

Hi Andy, With the tooling and aerospace grade parts being fabricated it's easy to see why the thread is titled "Money Pit". It might even make sense to turn all the tooling, time, work and investment into a commercially available microturbine.  Tony |
