Taxi test on the Jet engine ⚡️: The engine runs so cool❄️ (EGT 680-800*C) except on prolonged afterburner🔥 use which takes EGT to about 1000*C⚠️ We switched to testing Diesel as fuel & honestly I think I prefer Diesel to kerosene 🤔. Maybe I'll test actual Jet-A1 too Afterburner🔥 mode wanted to send the test bed flying, so we had to abort that and run the taxi test on normal mode at 40-50% throttle. Thrust levels are really excellent, I just wonder how fast this will be at full power plus full afterburner 🔥. We literally built an air breathing rocket engine 🤣. Honestly, I am happy again, the breakdown of this project for weeks took my joy away, I was always sad and down, but hell bent on solving the problems. Next is to build the remote control system so we can unleash the full power of the Jet engine in a long runway from a safe distance. #Zedora #madeinEbonyi #madeinNigeria 🇳🇬

Checking the jet engine to make sure nothing goes wrong before our upcoming runway test. This is a very expensive & delicate project, It is very necessary to make sure nothing goes wrong on the runway, so far everything looked fine ✅ We will be submitting our letter to the management of the State Airport this week for permission to use one of the runways for a speed test. Hopefully, everything goes well, stay tuned. #Zedora #madeinEbonyi #madeinNigeria 🇳🇬

Jet engine Thrust test✅🔥🚀: Finally we have the data we need, at 100% throttle alone, the engine generated thrust of 7.2KG to 7.8KG (76.5 Newtons) At 100% throttle plus Afterburner it soared to 14KG to 16KG, I saw it peak at 18KG, but we'll take the average at 16KG thrust (157 Newtons) For this scale & build, I am a bit satisfied with the performance, although if I ditch the cooling design on the exhaust the thrust will increase significantly, but the exhaust will glow red hot, so we had to trade some thrust for better cooling for the engine. All the same, I am satisfied with the engine performance at this scale. I look forward to our runway tests⚡️ #Zedora #madeinEbonyi #madeinNigeria 🇳🇬

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 🇳🇬

Here we go guys✅🚀 The jet engine survived the stress test✅ We pushed the engine to full power(100% throttle and 100% Afterburner) for about 12 minutes nonstop. It was critically loud, violent and powerful 🔥 My neighbor's police orderly said whenever they hear a very loud sound they know I'm back in town🤣 After the stress test the jet turbine blades still looked brand new✅, this means the exhaust design is near perfect ✅ The Exhaust Gas Temperature never exceeded 860 degrees Celsius even on afterburner mode✅, although the flame shooting out is over a thousand degrees Celsius ⚠️ For the first time, I saw some blue AB flames which looked cool🥶 On standard operation, the jet engine can now run for hours nonstop as long as there's fuel✅ The Afterburner mode pushes the engine power further, tho we have to limit it's duration due to the nature of the exhaust material currently being used. We are finally ready to take this beast to a runway and let it loose✅🚀 We will start making the arrangements immediately, thank you for your support, stay tuned as we do great things together 🙌 #Zedora #madeinEbonyi #madeinNigeria 🇳🇬

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 🇳🇬

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

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 🇳🇬

Basic Engine Test with No Afterburner 🔥❌: I revved the engine up to 80% power👀, and I stood partially in the path of the hot exhaust gases, u can see how far the exhaust pressure goes, 100% power was too scary to even think of, imagine I now activate the afterburner 👀🔥, it may blow me to the wall😭😂. This engine is tremendously loud in reality ⚡️ U can also see that the engine is running purely on Liquid kerosene, so no need to carry the big gas cylinder around, how would I even mount it on the test bed😂, and liquid fuels yield more power. We may be doing an powerful afterburner 🔥👀 test this evening or tomorrow morning, I pity my neighbors tho🥲, but they will be fine🙏🏻 #Zedora

Today's jet taxi test🔥: Another great video, retweet for ur neighbors to see our progress✊🏻. We allowed the beast move again today, but at a mild 40% power. Some of the control & monitoring components have started arriving; I was able to measure the temperature of the exhaust gas flow with an EGT meter today✅, it peaked at 804 degrees Celsius 👀🔥, that would melt Aluminum⚡️. I also strapped a long chain on the test bed to help me stop it from crashing 😂. Like I said, this beast weighs about 50kg, I wouldn't want to hold it while running close to full power. #Zedora #madeinEbonyi #madeinNigeria 🇳🇬

Good news on the jet engine project ✅: I redesigned the exhaust system again to prioritize cooling, thrust & the afterburner sequence all together, it now works better✅, no red hot situation on the exhaust at all✅ The new design also reduces pressure on the turbine on AB mode✅ This test was done with gas for the main engine running at 50% power, then liquid kerosene for the AB🔥. I wish to change the fuel nozzles on the main burner to a more powerful one next week, then we'll do this test again close to 100% power which will be louder & much more violent ⚡️ After that, we'll go straight to a runway & let this beast run🚀 #Zedora #madeinEbonyi 🇳🇬

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 🇳🇬

#WATCH | Bengaluru, Karnataka: ISRO Chairman V Narayanan says, “…a test that was conducted, excluding the thrust chamber…we have taken close to 90% of the thrust load…it was a major achievement and milestone, and now we are getting ready for the engine test…satellites are ready, and we are working on that, an exact date will be provided soon…Gaganyaan is a technology-intensive mission. We have to do the human-rating of the vehicle…before sending actual human beings, we have to do 3 uncrewed missions, and we are working towards the first uncrewed mission. You will come to know about the dates very shortly…”

Burn test on the Jet engine prototype 🔥 : ⚠️apologies for skipping my PPE🥲, I was just moved by heavy enthusiasm. My modifications have made the engine even more powerful, see the supersonic exhaust gas flow even without the AFTERBURNER 👀🔥, once it's starts to overcharge I ask my brother to shutdown fuel supply (Engr. Idam my assistant wasn't available), the increase in power also resulted in an increase in temperature, as u can see the materials used to build the engine are being stressed to their metallurgical limits quickly🛠. Equipment to measure all the metrics accurately are still on the way, I will still need to work on the design, especially to enhance cooling on the engine while I work on getting more advanced thermally stable materials to upgrade the system for long operating times. There's more to come ✊🏻 #Zedora 🇳🇬
