First of all, sorry for crosspost, but I need very good and adequate answer.
This is the first time I write on these newsgroups, sorry on my bad english.Because in croatian Internet web pages or gruops has nothing on this issue, I hope that you will help me! I'm a fan of machines, first of all piston engines, but last couple of months I've been interested in something more exotic - gas turbine engines! I have found on Internet many webpages with home made built gas trubine engines, but all these are small, and inefficent in matter of, that you can't use them even for gokart ( OK, some you can ). So I came on a crazy idea, could it be posibble to make a gas turbine engine, from a locomotive turbo?So, if I have can do this, could it be posibble to put it in a car... ( I don't know why could not, I have whole idea in my head, but only problem is gas turbine, could it work as I'm planning )?What amount of power could that size turbo produce?Estimated? Pictures of turbo that I'm talking about: http://www.zeljeznice.net/turbo.jpg This turbocharger is from this locomotive: http://www.zeljeznice.net/slike/loko...2/Dsc04232.jpg You can see also pictures of other croatian diesel locomotives on this page: http://www.zeljeznice.net/lokomotive/diesel/indexd.htm Click on links too see pictures, and if you don't see pictures when you enter page, just click "Galerija" under image. Croatian railways have GM EMD locomotives 2043, 2044, 2061, 2062 and 2063 series, from which 2044 and 2063 have turbochargers.Could that turbo's be used for this kind of project? -- Posjetite: http://www.zeljeznice.net http://www.zeljeznice.net/forum |
