Model compressed air turbine
« on: July 13, 2012, 03:15:18 AM »
I recently built a model turbine /generator. I always thought that models like that had no power so I tried it to power a ghetto blaster and it worked. Take a look at the video

That's impressive Ironman, particularly the casting.

It could be made from the solid couldn't it?

A neatly recycled device :clap:
I don't like the noise though. It's an uncomfortable reminder that I'm due at the dentist  on Wednesday.

Yes it can be made from solid and I ran it on 120 psi, at that pressure it needs a muffler!
