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 🇳🇬show more

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 🇳🇬

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 🇳🇬

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 🇳🇬

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 🇳🇬

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 🇳🇬

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 🇳🇬

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

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

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

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

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 🇳🇬

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 🇳🇬

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 🇳🇬
