This type of turbine is typically used at electricity power stations, where they direct the high-pressure steam to the turbine that spins the generator. Of course, steam is hot, and 3D printed plastic can't handle the heat, so in this case I had to use compressed air to test my 3D printed turbine.

You and Integza should build a jet engine together.

I think your Rotr blades were backwards. Usually, you would put the thick nose to the front. Also, for turbines, the first row is usually a ststor or a nozzle section, not a rotor
-
You need to integrate your air intake into your stages. Right now you're losing all the energy of the expanding air to the intake. Your inlet air should lead directly to a small fan with increasingly larger stages behind. That way you harness airflow AND air expansion. You're effectively building a de-compressor engine.

Just a small tip, hydroelectric turbines on a small scale use gravity as an assist. When you had it connected to your garden hose if you had held it vertically it probably would have worked considerably better.

one of the best channels out there with high quality and perfect quantity love your content brother keep going would love to see you in the millions
-
I've never been able to fully wrap my head around the exact physics of a stator, only a general understanding. Your explanation has arguably closed that gap for me. Thank you.
-
Great Project ....and gets the community talking together to improve on the design and build...keep it going!!
-
Have in mind that all turbines are designed to be most efficient at certain RPM so a reduction gear for that stepper motor should be neccesary.
-
Absolutely F'n incredible. Hollywood would do well to hire you for an enormous sum. Your stuff looks more real than reality. Much more.
-
that's why I love 3d printing community they make anything literally anything.
-
Very inspiring and now I know what a stator is. Thank you so much for this video, good job.
-
Very cool, instead hammering the metal axis put it on the freezer before try to put in the holes
-
your 3d printing vids are awesome im looking forward to seeing your newest vids
-
You should be able to boost the power quite a lot by preswirling your air in the intake manifold before it hits the first rotor, and by putting the air transfer nozzles way closer to the first rotor and not have a big gap in between them. kinda like having the intake holes gradually turn into a stator that nests up against the first rotor as close as the other stators do. Im not saying double the power, but quite some at least.
-
Woah, didn't even realize the video was uploaded right now, good video. I just hope you make a part 3 of the pressure washer idea.
-
I'm no engineer, but I was a powerplant operator for a time, and I found this very impressive even if most of the comments are highlighting areas for improvement, you've got more knowledge of turbines than most. Super cool project
-
Best estonian channel so far 👏 👍
-
Good video. I think due to the size of the turbine you need a bigger volume of air rather than pressure. Get a shop vacuum cleaner and hook hose to the exhaust. Blow that into all the inlets. Try draw a vacuum through it as well.
-
I was a bit worried that we dont see anything leaking this time but at the end you gave us leaky turbine. Thank you :D
-
Amazing project mate 😊👍
