A mate and I did a test run of a new jet engine today. This jet produces 10kg of thrust and runs on Kero. It includes an electric start with propane for pre-heating. It is fully micro-controlled (ECU) with PC diagnostics and digital R/C.
We measured the SPL @1M approx 114dB SPL (read loud). Here is a video of the test bench prior to a test run.
Fuel consumption at 125,000 RPM is just on 350ml/minute.
This whole setup is just over $4000, but a lot of noisy fun.
I will post more video of the jet starting and running to full song once it is edited down and trans-coded.
