Discussion on the best fuel type.

But I mean a compressor cover is just a lid with the compressor profile plus a little clearance, how can that even be a problem?

Calculating and milling a multi stage compressor with matching stator stages is probably 1000x the difficulty of making a centrifugal compressor cover....

[racket]

Front covers are a simple piece to make as Anders said , much easier than getting involved with the complexities of an axial stage , theres pics of my cover on this page jetandturbineowners.proboards.com/thread/1459/11-127-manned-flight-engine?page=10 ..................LOL, I'd sooner make a 1000 covers than one axial comp stage

[Johansson]

It is like saying it is easier to invent a ball pen than taking a chunk of charcoal from the camp fire to write your name with.

Can anyone share me the detailed pics of compressor cover?

You have a turbocharger already, take the housing off and look how it fits with the compressor wheel.

At $360 for a bunch of parts for an axial compressor which will almost certainly not work, you can buy a very nice radial compressor wheel and probably have a housing machined or printed for it.

[Bhuvan Aerospace]

Yes Sir, now I also agree with you. Making a radial one is much more easier. But will a 100mm inducer radial compressor produce 1kN thrust? And also, what do you think about the price of a 100mm inducer radial compressor?

[racket]

If you look at KTS Billet ktsturbobilletx.com/ go into their Catalogue , there are thousands of comp wheel sizes .

A 100 mm inducer comp probably won't provide you with 1kN of thrust without afterburner.

But they have a nice 110 mm inducered wheel that would , the X858 wheel that has been used by Members , I originally designed for ~160 lbs " dry" and ~220 lbs with afterburn at modest Pressure Ratio of 3.5:1 , Scott has since advanced its output considerably at higher PRs jetandturbineowners.proboards.com/thread/1409/scottscrazybuilds-jet-kart .

KTS comp wheels aren't cheap , but also not expensive for what you receive , they are advertised as capable of 70 psi output pressure , I use my KTS comp at 5.5:1 PR

[Bhuvan Aerospace]

Is $70 decent price for 45mm inducer wheel from KTS?

[richardm]

You ve been told many times that such a small inducer wont get you anywhere near your design goals. Racket just recommend a 110 mm inducer but you' re coming back with a 45mm wheel inquiry ...
I dont get it .

I am not getting a 110mm radial compressors which ships to India

Is there a limit for compressor wheel diameters in the India customs office?

[Bhuvan Aerospace]

No there’s no limit. No one anyone actually ships 😞

[Johansson]

But they ship 45mm compressors?

[richardm]

Go figure !

[Bhuvan Aerospace]

They ship that because it’s less expensive.

[Johansson]

I am sorry but I have a very hard time taking you seriously, until I see pics of some actual progress I will assume you are just trolling the forum.
