I have done it ✅😎😂 The Engine has been fixed and it now runs on afterburner mode🔥, exactly like a fighter jet engine🚀. I repeat, in all humility, I am the first person in Nigeria 🇳🇬 & probably Africa to build a functional self sustaining & afterburning turbojet engine 🙌🏻, if u have data to prove I am not the first, pls show us, if not, then acknowledge me & put some 'respek' on my name😂. Instead of a driving motor, I now use high pressure air from an air blower to start the engine until it self sustains, I also made some design modifications, so technically this is now Mark3-B. I still haven't pushed it to full power😂🥲, it's terrifying & exciting at the same time. Special thanks to everyone who has supported this program from day1, special thanks also to the haters & naysayers, y'all pushed me to anger to make sure I forge on🛠️😤⚡️ If there's anything at all u will learn from me, please learn to NEVER GIVE UP🙌🏻. We did this in Abakaliki, Ebonyi state, Nigeria 🇳🇬. #Zedora #madeinEbonyi #madeinNigeria 🇳🇬

Honestly, We would have done more than 1hr of runtime, but we ran out of fuel (kerosene)🤣..... I wrestled with the jet just to show u it's raw power Exhaust Gas Temperature never exceeded 660 degrees Celsius Now, I can focus on rebuilding the control system/brainbox I dey try abeg🤧, I deserve to eat some goat meat pepper soup tonight🤣 Thank you my people, y'all keep me going on this project, I am grateful for u all I am just here to do my thing & make a difference, I do not really care about any recognition This is our project 🔥 #Zedora #madeinNigeria 🇳🇬

As promised....my father's laptop from the 70s, I dunno if I should keep calling it a laptop cos it's quite bulky He used it as a phD student in Florida A&M University USA🇺🇸 It's rated 110v⚡️ so I will need to find a step down transformer to power it up, it will just blow up if I plug it directly into our Nigerian sockets rated 220v🥲 The mouse looks like a grenade, but I couldn't find it Technology 🔥

Impromptu test on the Mark3 turbojet engine😎😂: The Ear Muffs are arriving next week, but again, I couldn't hold back but to run the engine at mild power today😂. I am probably the first person in Nigeria 🇳🇬 & probably all of Africa to build a self sustaining turbojet engine 🔥🤔, please correct me if I am wrong tho🙏🏻, but I doubt. Incase u don't know what a turbojet engine is, it is the engine that powers most fighter jets🚀. The engine is self sustaining because once it gets to idle speed, it runs at about 35,000 RPM on its own without the starter motor & batteries, and can only be shut down if the fuel supply is shut off, as demonstrated by my assistant in the clips. We will do a full power test with the afterburner next week when the ear Muffs arrive😎, so we don't go deaf🤣😂. We built this beast in Ebonyi State, Nigeria 🛠️⚡️ #Zedora #madeinEbonyi #madeinNigeria 🇳🇬

See how loud & powerful the engine of an F-16 fighter jet is in Afterburner mode🔥 The F-16 costs $70 million dollars 👀 (₦115 billion naira😂). I doubt they will even agree to sell to us even if we bring the cash. This is why we should have developed our own indigenous machines by now, but better late than never. Zedora on a mission🚀 #Zedora

Our little taxi test on the new build✅ I must admit I am very happy today, the acceleration was indeed a sight to behold, now imagine the top speed on the runway. we took data from the last runway tests & implemented many changes, the entire frame now weighs about 50kg It can be lighter, but I'm working with the resources & materials available to me The tyres are more balanced, aligned & stable The engine ran at 94,000 rpm at full throttle and still has extra 16,000rpm to deliver if I want, meaning more power, although it's danger limit is going above that. The wings currently have relatively flat aerofoil due to complexities in aluminum metal fabrication and weight management. I am still having issues with the Afterburner system, it's difficult to start and often gets blown off when the engine nears full throttle, I will review the sequence design again and make sure we harness the full power of the Afterburner. As u see, I'm also using the manual controls, the remote control unit is also undergoing upgrades Thanks for all the support and encouragement, may God bless us all #Zedora #madeinEbonyi #madeinNigeria 🇳🇬

Our ground speed⚠️ test video on the PROTOTYPE: We ran the Turbojet engine at 60% throttle & No afterburner for this test⚠️. The UAV prototype started accelerating to about 80km/h, as it approached high speed, control became difficult & instability set in, leading to a crash, we will need to redo the wheel placements & weight distribution✅. The UAV weighs about 65kg fully loaded, although our engine was capable of propelling it, we will need to redesign the build to reduce weight by about 40% to make flight possible & stable, we will be exploring a full aluminum or composite material build. After the crash, the wheels jammed up & misaligned, making further runway tests impossible, the power of the engine made the jammed tyres screech on the tarmac. We did not exceed 60% throttle talk more of using Afterburner mode because of control instability. We have more work and improvements to make⚡️ Things to improve : We need to reduce the weight of the build by 40%✅ We need to redesign the wheel placement for better stability on high speed✅ Alot has been learned from this outing, we will redesign the prototype to improve stability & we'll be back again Hopefully, we may be able to attempt flight #Zedora #madeinEbonyi #madeinNigeria 🇳🇬

The most destructive weapon in human history ⚠️; the Nuclear bomb Watch what happens when it detonates over a city Mind you, some nuclear warheads that exist today are 1,000 times more powerful than the Atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945 (81 years ago), killing about 80,000 people instantly, human beings at ground zero instantly turned to dust, vaporized & obliterated Sometimes I ask myself, was this creation of Armageddon necessary?! However, as sad & painful as it sounds, it literally ended world war2, and nuclear technology has given mankind one of the most stable forms of energy to power homes and businesses Anything that can be used for good, may also have a use for carnage & destruction 🤦🏻♂️

My punching bag no longer gives me any solid resistance ❌ I am using concrete walls from now 7 rounds✅ I felt some 'good pain' in my wrists & bones after this I feel this is hardcore & exactly what I need I am not a professional boxer⚠️ An actual pro boxer MAY still drop me⚠️ This is just a hobby, to blow off steam & also casually build strength, so easy on the phD boxing takes

I have compiled all footage from the development of our indigenous turbojet engine program so far, from the Mark1 & Mark2 models which failed❌, to the Mark3 model which has been a huge success✅🔥. I actually cried a bit watching this video to the end (yes I'm 'a war' 😤, but I'm not ashamed to admit). Join me in reminiscing on the journey so far. I failed twice, but I never stopped trying...Never give up🚀. To greater things 🥂 #Zedora #madeinEbonyi #madeinNigeria 🇳🇬

New product ⚡️✅: We are thrilled to announce the unveiling of an iconic product; our indigenous Night Vision Goggles🔥, developed & built right here in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, Nigeria, designed & engineered by my humble self, under the umbrella of Zedora Electronics Limited, about a year ago. Due to the prevailing political & security uncertainties at the time, we chose to keep this innovation a secret. Today, we are proud to finally present this sophisticated system to the world, the first Made-in-Nigeria Night Vision Goggles. This product gives a user the ability to see in complete darkness. This is the most sophisticated device I have ever designed and built. It also has a zoom and focus feature up to 100 meters, as well as recording and playback functions within the goggle. To the best of my knowledge, no one has ever built this piece of technology in Nigeria; we are the first to do this. We believe it has the potential to significantly enhance the operational capabilities of our nation's defense and security forces. As a testament to our commitment to national security, we humbly invite the Nigerian Army, Police, Air Force, and Navy to collaborate with us in making this cutting-edge technology mainstream, starting with a live demonstration. Your partnership will not only bolster our security infrastructure, it will also position Nigeria at the forefront of technological advancements in security and defense systems in Africa, showing our international allies that whatever they can create, we can create. We have the brains, we have the manpower, we just need the will to do so. Our night vision goggles are designed to improve night-time visibility, ensuring superior situational awareness and operational effectiveness. Developed and manufactured locally, our design reflects an intimate understanding of our security challenges. We are continuously working on high-end products that are currently in the development phase, promising a steady pipeline of advanced solutions tailored for security applications. We wish to assure you that our night vision system has never been sold to anyone anywhere in the nation or abroad. I am only a citizen passionate about contributing to making our nation great through innovative technology. Currently, we possess only one prototype, underscoring our dedication to ensuring its readiness for national security and defense purposes before any form of distribution. The video below shows a recorded demo done in pitch black darkness with an Infrared beam. We once again humbly invite the Nigerian Army, Police, Air Force, and Navy to collaborate with Zedora Electronics Limited. Your support and partnership are crucial as we strive to enhance our national security capabilities through innovative technology.

Testing the speed breaks✅ The speed brake flaps were cut from 2mm stainless steel pan, the actuation servo arm has a torque of 40KG, everything was bolted to the test bed frame, don't think it's paper because of the bounce... This prototype wasn't meant to be perfect tho, we advance as we iterate #Zedora #madeinEbonyi #madeinNigeria🇳🇬

Anxiety driven short test😂: Apologies for not wearing any safety gear asides the ear Muffs 🙏🏻 Our Afterburner Problem has been solved✅ I can confidently say we can design a powerful jet engine in Nigeria 🇳🇬✊🏻 Engine is running on Liquid kerosene at 80% power I changed the exhaust design to allow for a region of low pressure in between where AB fuel can be vaporized on contact with the subsonic exhaust flow & ignited, the entire explosion now proceeds to a high pressure region where the entire flow becomes supersonic again✅, leading to a massive increase in thrust 🚀. Seems like the engine roar became more violent too, I could feel the ground shaking a bit. Also notice the insane drop in the RED HOT situation on the exhaust liner. We will do 100% power and Afterburner testing tomorrow. The enormous amount of data, knowledge & experience I've gotten from this project✊🏻 #Zedora

I got back from the hospital and asked the boys to get ready to fire up the jet engine🔥 I am super fired up as well, you can see the performance resulting from the last design upgrades, we finally have BLUE Afterburner flames, showing tremendous increase in power and thrust, the grasses along the exhaust path in the uncompleted building turned brown after this test, my welder was so happy he started taking selfies close to the engine. I can't imagine what this beast will do on a runway and for ndi 'aesthetics🤣, I don't believe u expect me to test a freaking jet engine at Transcorp Hilton do u?😂 No worries, Soon we will move to our advanced facility already in the works ✅ We are back 🚀 #Zedora

The greatest test video so far🔥: Guys Make sure you retweet this 🙏🏻 The engine sent the test bed flying & I had to stop it b4 it crashes into the fence😂, subsequently brushing me down, imagine the force it took to brush me, fully loaded with fuel, the test bed weighs about 48KG⚠️. The control systems are yet to arrive, soon we will control the test bed remotely 😅. This was not even full power, imagine I activated the afterburner, this thing might do up to 200+ km per hour o👀👀👀. We need a runway for a full power test🤧. I will be applying to the government of Ebonyi State for permission to use a runway at the state airport for full power tests on the project, it has grown beyond my compound 🙏🏻. I am going to get some pepper soup to celebrate this milestone🤧, thank you all for the endless support. We will keep making history, together ✊🏻 #Zedora #madeinEbonyi #madeinNigeria 🇳🇬

Good news and bad news 😖🤧: Hello guys, in the spirit of transparency, I have good news & bad news on the attempt on full power tests on the mark3 prototype. The bad news is, the driving motor shaft developed a critical fault & therefore we could not reach high speeds for the engine to self sustain to idle as before🤦🏻♂️, the shaft eventually broke off as shown in the video❌. The good news is, our afterburner sequence works✅✅ even below self sustaining speeds, I decided to activate it at this low power level & it worked 🔥, although at full power it would be more violent & streamlined in nature, the sun's glare also made the flames less visible. We will fix the motor damage & try full power testing again next week 🙌🏻. I am not giving up, we are not giving up ⚠️, we are almost there, full power or nothing 🚀 Thank you for the kindness and support, I appreciate you all, we will fix the anomaly & test again. I feel very sad but goodnight 🙏🏻 #Zedora

Running the engine at 100% power + 100% Afterburner is a bad idea⚠️❌😂: I throttled the main engine to 100% and throttled the Afterburner to 100%🥲, it turned out to be Overkill, it was so powerful & violent, however we recorded the highest temperature ever🔥, almost 1300 degrees Celsius 😂 This caused the engine to overheat and melt the turbine blades completely 😂 Final observations: We can run the main engine at max 100% throttle peacefully, but adding Afterburner at 100% will kill the engine ⚠️ The safest maximum operating principles for this design and build are 1. 100% throttle (No Afterburner)= safe✅ 2. 80% throttle and 40-60% Afterburner = safe✅ 3. 100% throttle and 100% Afterburner = engine failure ❌😭 This is why you must test and test and test to failure, to understand the operational limits of machines, exactly why Elon keeps testing his starship continuously as well... We'll replace the turbine in due time🤞🏻, until next time guys, which should be runway testing finally 🚀 We move✊🏻 #Zedora
