NT6 Wood Burning Turbine


Introducing the worlds' first wood burning generator / Turbine wood-stove

The NT/6 Enginerator

NT/6

These photos were taken during the first ever trial run of the NT/6 gas producer section.

Fully loaded with 60lbs of split hardwood, 12PSI compressor discharge pressure. Approx. 120,000RPM gas producer turbine speed. 50PSI oil pressure. 1400deg F EGT. This thing really honks!

This is a good shot of the electric oil pump. The exhaust plume is visible on the left side of the turbo.

Here is a view of the fire in the combustor through the Pyrex sight glass.
The pipe fitting on the side is for air to keep the glass clean.

This is NT/6 after the first test of the throttle system. Throttling worked, but not exactly as expected. The needed changes were identified and will be made this week. Run time was :30 min @ 10-15 psi with no gas leakage as before. The sound is deafening, an air intake silencer is needed. The test was aborted at :30 min due to a blown compressor discharge air hose. The full load of wood appears to be only blackened.

Update Jan. 20

Finally I have had time to get back to this important project. The new throttle system works great! We have also learned to put less fuel in at start-up for a cleaner more controlled burn. This thing works even better than I thought. see the new videos below....

 NT/6 Highlights (proposed specifications)
- self starting.
- runs on wood, garbage or bio-mass (or anything else you can stuff into the combustor that burns and gives off good heat).
- totally self sufficient - can be run in remote locations without gas or diesel fuel.
- expected to produce around  2,000W continuous.
- DC output:  24V @ 80A
- AC output: 120 - 240V @ 50-60Hz (AC output will depend upon battery and inverter capacity)
- excellent source of warmth.
- fuel wood consumption: TBA.
- easy to maintain, (change the oil every few months)
- reliable, turbos are simple and last a long time.

More to follow. I have not begun working on the free turbine and generator system yet. (Too busy with other projects!)
