Open Source Gas Turbine

Basics

• Essentially an Open Source Turboshaft Aircraft Engine that is used for stationary rotary motion generation
• Should be able to use liquid fuels and gaseous fuels
• Liquid Fuels:
  • Ethanol
  • Methanol
  • Biodiesel
  • Bio-Jet Fuel
  • Dimethyl Ether
  • Really need to check what can and can't work NEEDS MORE RESEARCH
• Gaseous Fuels
  • Hydroge
  • RNG

Used For

• Medium to Large Scale Power Generators
• Large Vehicles
• Smaller home scale version?
• Hydrogen Cooled Gas Turbine for INTENSE industrial use? (Probably need a full on engineer for that one)

Industry Standards

Portable

• Goofy concept, but one such device was created the "Dynajet"
• RC Turbojets/Turboshafts Exist

Home-Small Scale Commercial/Industrial

• 100kw-1Mw seems to be the common designs

Existing Open Source Designs

• Colin Furze makes all sorts of (albeit inefficient) jets
• Tech Ingredients has made some "lab scale" turbojets, and edfs, may one day do a turbogenerator

Minimum Viable Product

• Scaleable from commercial grade generators, and things like large commercial groundcraft/watercraft, all the way to industrial grade generators
