Help Identifying Military gas turbine!!

[nic6556]

I have 2 of these military gas turbine units, i think they are from generators, they are rebuilt and never used. I would like help on how they operate and what fuel they run off from. Maybe some manuals are out there?

...not a gas turbine engine ...

It's a bleed air turbine, probably used to drive a generator (as per the badge). Bleed air from one of the main engines or the APU is routed to the capped port of the unit, flows through the (radial) turbine and exits where the turbine blades are visible. Either the generator is installed, or there is a drive pad (usually a QuAD flange) to attach it. The gearbox integral to the unit reduces turbine RPM to 6000 (or sometimes to 8000) 1/min.

Unless you've got an airbleed APU or a prime mover (...) to supply the intermediate-pressure, high volume air, this unit is of little to none use. Sorry for not having better information for you...

I agree, from the 2nd last pic you can read 60kva generator and 3000rpm, it's probably a freepower turbine and gearbox coupled to a generator.

POOP... what do i do with them, anyone ever need them? maybe ebay? Turbines worth anything as scrap?

The gearbox could be used for a freepower turbine build , don't waste it .

60kva alternator, powered from a jet engine, military... Without any research I can only think of the Abrahams M1 tank, it is moved by a jet engine instead of the usual diesel engine.
