APU Needed

Mainly for this sort of thing people convert jet fuel starters to turbojet with varying degrees of sucess (JFS100). A small turbojet could be a drone engine like the williams WR24 or CT3201, lots of small starters do not have continuous use oil systems so are no good. I think an air producer driving an air motor would be good as alot of the generator/air producer APU’s are desinged for prolonged use rather than single shots to start and aircraft. People have converted nimbuses to Turbojets too. Oh yes Gas turbines are also very easy to wreck if you dont know what your doing, plenty of videos on youtube to demonstrate that!!

cant get hold of him at mo, all he said was any old APU, in working order, I dont really want to be middle man, so if anyone has one, say a apu from a gnome engine, or the like, his father did mention pallouste .. but there few and far between , just the easiest and most common will do, as long as it does the job.. pm me, and i will pass it on to him (he is not on the forum)

a jet engined rickshaw.. this i gotta see… probably end up on you tube.. hope he got good brakes :D:diablo:

I could sell him a book to make his own!!

That one looks too big! :D:D:D

Hi all,

I have been asked by a friend.. if I can find a “APU” in good order, something from a helicopter or the like, just a small APU that is in as good a condition as possible..

does anyone know where to locate such a thing, dealers etc ??

lol

Sounds like a turbine requirement then!!!!

I will ask him lads.. and see what exactly he wants and if it has to be a gas turbine, i believe its for a mad capped scheme to power a rickshaw… 😀

yes.. i know it sounds crazy.. and it probably is.. but yes.. a rickshaw.:rolleyes:. I ask you :diablo::D

still if he wants to spend the cash, thats up to him ..

Please PM me exactly what your after
Matt

Does it have to be a gas turbine?
I have a twin cylinder piston APU from a B-29 if he is interested.
