Wren MW54
My Wren Turbine taken on Nokia N95 running in garden sorry about the weird sounds produced from camera mic.I did not give her full throttle as we have neighbours!
You should position the engine so that the glow plug is at 2´0 clock, not on top. Read the manual, you may cause a lubrication problem otherwise…
5 Years ago, we bolted my friends MW54 KM2 Jet to an old sledge. I’ve only just managed to get round to uploading this onto youtube (Some 5 years later! Wheres time go eh ?!?) Anyway… This video shows the startup, two test runs, and shutdown of the engine. Including a minor crash – thankfully no damage was done as one of the metal clamps took the brunt of the impact (hit a brick building at around 5-10 mph) The engine was built by Peter and myself at an open day at Wren Turbines on 18 April 2004. (Video footage of this engine build / open day to follow shortly) Please check out my other videos, and feel free to have a look at my personal website www.ijdonline.co.uk where you will find more interesting photos, videos, projects and more!
