Mini Electric Jet Turbine

Neither are the oil circuits and gearboxes you would find in a typical aircraft.

Mini electric jet turbine.

The pioneer of these mini engines is probably the american engineer max dreher who in the 1960s built a series of small turbines for military or civil applications. The motors are very efficient. With 36 single stage electric motors providing near instantaneous thrust in almost any direction control surfaces such as rudders ailerons or a tail aren t required. Great for education hobbyist.

I can imagine a million ways to build a better model m. The motors are designed as multipole motors and offer a high power combined with a low weight. This turbine is of the straight jet type it has a intake compressor diffusor combustion chamber turbine wheel exhaust. The french company jpx is probably the one that launched their use on a large scale at a global level for model makers.

Pre balanced inconel compressor wheels turbine wheels. Since then competed by many other global companies jpx has disappeared from this sector to refocus on. There s the intake fan obviously the compressor stages and then the directly coupled turbine stages which are driven by an electric motor. The output of the generator is 150 w.

R c electric motors for edf jets and planes. I build this model to simulate a real jet engine even though is electric. The greatest innovation is of course the fully electric jet engines. These are miniature self sustaining real model jet engine kits.

Electric working jet engine model. The pbs tj40 g1 jet engine is a single shaft engine with a one stage radial compressor radial and axial diffuser annular combustion chamber one stage axial turbine and outlet nozzle. Micro jet turbines for propulsion of rc model jets in a range from 20 newton 2 kg up to 800 80 kg newton thrust. The principles are the same with the exception of course of a missing fossil fuel kerosene combustor.

These motors are perfectly manufactured and run extremely quite and smooth. The lilium jet has an intrinsically simple design. Made from billet aluminum 316 stainless steel and inconel alloy. Is very basic so everybody can build it the way i designed and built my jet engine model is not the best way to do it.
