Drive through West Virginia and there are zero windmills. But very many clean-coal bill boards lol
"Renewable energy" does sound way more pc then coal. But I am a supporter of coal to this day

We are trying for the $2500.00 range. They are asking $3000.00.

I think he's having trouble keeping all the mailboxes empty...
had weeks like that before, one high priority thing coming up after another feeling like you're under the gun the whole time. Sucks, but weekend usually cures it.

I finally finished my classes till spring for volunteer fireman. Melted my face shield in fire attack and behavior practicals. 1400 degrees F* is the temp they were picking up in some areas with the thermal imaging camera. :firedevil

I have had one of those weeks that if it could break, it broke, if it could go wrong chances are it did, if someone had something to complain about they told me instead of the person responsible for it...I think I will turn my phone off today and will check messages next week.......wait, that wont work either b/c I have 3 semi loads of cattle going out in the morning and headed for Kansas and Colorado feedlots..may need to talk to the drivers for directions.

No pictures, but here's a video of the first prototype... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BK2ezCCgel4
Built from a junkyard turbo, came out of an audi/saab/volvo, I forget which. Has some obscene bearing play and really does not spin that well, but once we got it warmed up, it runs great. I've been hunting for better and bigger turbos for a while.
The project is mostly my friend Jack's, my involvement is limited to giving him crap about his ghetto construction techniques till he does it the right way, parts procurement, and suggesting changes and improvements. I also usually end up as the "bearing oiler guy" when running it, i.e. I spray WD-40 into the oil inlet on the turbo while it's spinning at 30k+ RPM. At one point a loose hose clamp on the compressor output resulted in a severe boost leak and the flame chamber venting backwards out the intake straight onto my hand, burned every hair off my hand and arm. I was real glad we were running it on propane not kerosene that time.

Leaf blower for startup?
What kind of pressure regulator on the LP tank?
Going to setup a recirculating oil system or just do it gravity fed with no recovery? Hell, you could probably pipe the oil return into the intake and just use that suction to pull oil from a tank and just burn it.

Yeah, the leaf blower startup is kinda ghetto but gets the job done.
Pressure regulator - not sure if they used one, they bored out the nozzle. This was just the "prove we can do it on a budget" build, so it was screamingly ghetto in every way. The back end of the flame chamber was a lally column baseplate they bought at home depot and pounded on until the tabs were "flat" again (not very flat at all.) The sides of the chamber were welded from random exhaust tubing scrap they pilfered from the scrap bin in a machine shop on campus.
Oil - right now you spray WD-40 into the inlet of the bearings and it pours out the bottom onto the garage floor, but eventually it'll be properly done with a power steering pump and a small gasoline motor.
