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... show more

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 🇳🇬

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🇳🇬

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 🇳🇬

Ladies & Gentlemen.....we are back🔥😂 The jet engine prototype is alive again ✅ Make sure u watch this test to the end Make sure u retweet as well 🫵🏻😅 I can't wait to push it to full power⚡️ It is freaking loud, but the tremendous roar sends chills through my body😭. #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 🇳🇬

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 🇳🇬

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 🇳🇬

We are good to go to a runway ✅ Finally, I pushed the engine to 100% power + Afterburner. I could literally feel the ground vibrating ⚠️, it was so loud I had to wear the ear Muffs, videos do not really show how terrifying this 'blower welded to a can' is😂... The turbine was so fast that the tachometer could not measure the RPM, so I'm guessing it crossed the 100,000 RPM mark ⚠️. All that's left now, is to build the wireless control & monitoring system. Once that is done, we will apply to the Ebonyi Station Government for permission to use the runway at our airport for full launch tests. #Zedora 🇳🇬

THIS is exactly why people avoid going to the doctor or the hospital. This man is charged THOUSANDS of dollars for a simple test when he goes to the ER after being scared for this very reason. Now, I don't support socialized healthcare, but America has gone so far in the other direction, it is sick! Obamacare has caused prices for EVERYTHING to explode out of hand. There has to be a better option.

We are preparing a number of international events – this week will be very important for Ukraine and our foreign policy. A month remains before the start of the new political season in our partner countries. And we will do everything possible to make this season as conducive as possible to our movement to victory, to our desire to restore peace for the whole of Ukraine – without exception. More political support for Ukraine. More weapons for our warriors. Full responsibility of the terrorist state for everything it has done against Ukraine, against our cities, villages, and people.

Juneteenth as a federal holiday is meant to breathe new life into the very essence of America. To make sure all Americans feel the power of this day and the progress we can make for our country. Earlier this week, I felt that power at the White House.

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 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 🇳🇬

My goal in this budget process has always been to make sure we’re funding core, basic services in a balanced and disciplined manner. We know there is an inherent tension between asking people to pay rates, fees and taxes— and the issue of affordability. We want to make sure our city can provide the quality-of-life services that our residents deserve, but we also want to make sure we’re putting affordability first in our community. While I worry a lot about affordability, I also worry about the ability of our city to deliver quality services without more revenue. I strongly believe that if we're not making the kinds of investments we need to make in our people and our services, we will be managing decay in Austin in a very short period of time. This budget will not meet everyone’s concept of perfection. Truthfully, there are parts of the budget that I don’t like. That goes with living in a big, diverse city—different people will have different priorities, and we need to make room for all of us. Now, it is time for us to trust our voters. Voters have an opportunity in November to make a very important decision. From my perspective, the best part of this budget is that we fully fund our homeless strategy office. That was my greatest emphasis, and we've achieved it. It will make a world of difference in getting homeless people off the street in a very short period of time. I'm also very pleased with what we’ve added to funding for public safety, EMS, and wildfire prevention. A positive vote in the November tax rate election will allow us to pay for these needed services. And we make a significant investment in our parks. I look forward to a result that will be the best benefit of our community.
