How an RC Model Jet Turbine Works

In this video we take a trip down the path of air through a jet turbine. Jet turbines are one of the most incredible engines made to this day. In such a simple design, one can extract a ton of power with simplicity. Here we look how model jet turbines work.

Most model Jet turbines can operate on one of three different types of fuels. These fuels are Jet A, Kerosene or Diesel. All of these fuels come from the same family and share very similar properties. There are advantages and disadvantages of using each type. Mixed with the fuel is a turbine oil. The oil mixed with this fuel helps with lubrication and cooling.

Model Jet turbines follow the conventional 4 stroke engine principles. This is where you have intake, compression, combustion and lastly exhaust. The biggest difference is that all 4 of these cycles are happening continuously.

In the video a spark plug was said to fire the initial flame. However, an igniter would be the most correct term. In the turbine shown a ceramic igniter is used.
