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...

Your project expository session is always my delight! Looking forward to seeing the next step. If we only know what it takes to conceive and execute, you will know that the emotional energy spent on doing this can pull down a mansion! Keep walking…

Ziko you will need to invest in metallurgy and smelting. When Elon built space x some of the materials he needed did not exist in practical or theoretical sense. I will suggest you go into steel manufacturing to get the materials, funds and skill needed to keep building.

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

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 🇳🇬

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

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 🇳🇬

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 🇳🇬

A controlled taxi test on the jet engine test bed prototype. Giving u a glimpse of what the runway test may look like. Never forget, that Whatever the white man can do, we can do same, or even better, all we need, is willpower, and a war chest of resources ⚡️ The black man is NOT inferior to the white man ⚠️, we are capable of building great things too. This test was done at mild engine power, apologies for the lack of PPE, I didn't just have the strength to go upstairs and get em🤦🏻‍♂️, I'm still in recovery, not working at full capacity, plus it was impromptu, borne out of me missing the jet engine for so long #Zedora #madeinEbonyi #madeinNigeria 🇳🇬

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 🇳🇬

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 🇳🇬

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 🇳🇬

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 🇳🇬

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

Some pple think we came here to play, lmao🤣 I am almost done with the system design for the first application of our turbojet engine prototype 🔥. 'Build in silence' advocates abeg make una no vex🥲, I like to build in public, so everyone learns & understands how challenging it is to do the things we do, also to prove the originality of our ingenuity & hard work✅. I can't just wake up to tell you I've built a starship🚀, u will follow the process from scratch 🛠 Stay tuned as we build great things..........together 🔥 #Zedora
