Model turbine technology (PoD)

Self-build and practice

Thanks to the ideas of many tinkerers, jet propulsion in model aircraft has become a reality - now you can even dare to build one yourself!

Thomas Kamps is one of the pioneers of this fascinating type of drive.

Here he describes how to rebuild the microturbine he developed.

The prerequisites are a well-equipped workshop and skilled craftsmanship, everything else is explained in this book.

First, the calculation principles necessary for the design of an engine are presented, so that other compressors can be used or drives of other sizes can be realized.

This is followed by a detailed description of the manufacture of all the individual parts on the basis of the construction plan with many photos and useful practical tips.

Finally, the finished engine is put on the test stand and thoroughly tested, and the necessary safety measures are explained.

safety measures. Advice on operation, maintenance and care, and troubleshooting round out the work.
