To help with the hydrogen peroxide coming out of the turbine it could help to mount the catalysator vertically; the fluid stays at the bottom and has a better chance to decompose before exiting to the turbine.

Maybe to improve the decomposition of the peroxide you can have the pump run the peroxide vertically into the catalytic converters. That way the liquid stays at the bottom of the converters and the steam rises up into the turbine.

I had NO clue catalytic converters could do that to H2O2! Freaking awesome and really does make things so much more practical.

To help with the H2O2 getting into the turbine, you could try a 2 stage reaction chamber. So, have the exhaust of the catalytic converter feed into another plastic tube containing the potassium permanganate doped ceramic thingy that you made in an earlier video. Then have the exhaust from that tube feed into the turbine.

The catalyzer needs to be vertically mounted, bottom fed, and have a high pressure reflux column with baffles to recycle peroxide that hasn't decomposed.

I just followed a course about hydraulic turbine design and to see you put that into practice made my day. Tip if you want to build a good turbine, just look up the Cordier diagram. In short, it tells us that the size and flow rate of a well-designed turbine are intertwined (there are formulas for this). And depending on your flow rate, I expect you need to go smaller.

You could scavange a fuel injector and fuel pump from a car. That would give you a good spray pattern into the catalytic converter and as really high flow rate, and granular control over the reaction by manipulating the injectors spray rate by controlling it with some sort of PWM generator (arduino or similar) and some transistors or high speed relays. Cool project!

Im thinking it might be advantageous to mount your reaction chamber vertically, that way you can submerge the 2nd cataliser section, let the H2O2 buble up into the 3rd section, this should help limit the amount of liquid that gets pushed through the turbine. Speaking of the turbine, lm blown away you didnt use the tesla turbine as a comparison. Great video as always.

I'd love to know how many uses you could get out of those cat converters. Not a bad video Joel, and keep up with the CNC machining. Whole new possibilities there mate.

A steam-powered automatic shooter of some sort seems about right. That high-pressure steam has a lot of potential. Oh and about those broken endmills, try single flute endmills for cutting aluminum. I use mostly 6mm diameter single flute at about 10000rpm, 0.8mm depth of cut, and 1000mm/min feed. It blew my mind and cutting has been much easier since!

Just a thought as well, could you accelerate the reaction by preheating the peroxide before it hits the converters. lastly hook the turbine shaft to the pump and use a valve to throttle it?

I’m really enjoying seeing all these engines and rockets. It would be really interesting to see you put all this experience toward an actual small scale rocket.

I see two things that needs an improvement, the catalyst tube need to have the output tube it must be in a higher position respect of the input side, so the peroxide can’t exit in a liquid form. The second one it’s the weight of the impeller, you can hear the rpm ramp up sound. Good video.

This was incredible! Thank you for your videos! Design recommendations: Move fuel tank/source away from the AB plume & Clamps, or otherwise secure the high RPM point of failure to a surface so you can continue to create? Lol. Also, if the Aluminum turbine failed at those RPMs, the table & bow tie will do their best, but... NEXT BUILD! It might be wild to use your engine here to power a Strandbeest of some sort. I'd imagine it would look like something out of Howl's Moving Castle! You know... For strictly demonstrative purposes & TOTALLY not to create a giant mechanized death spider ala Wild Wild West. 🤔

00:10. I would love to see you put a gear reduction on that, and use that torque to crush tonatoes, and other stuff

Future idea: Get the community to send you 3D models of rocket nozzle designs that you can print out and test against each other to see if crowdsourced engineering can improve on existing designs

Interesting idea

I’m a Tool maker i would recommend maybe 4140 or another cold roll steel for your components. maybe even Some light stainless steel. often times the metal i use to make armature shafts for large companies at work is really hard stainless steel or pre heat treat 4140

This is on its way to becoming a torpedo, suggest making stators and a reduction gear box to turn propeller an see if steam generator can power an RC torpedo, multi episode build. Keep up the good work

So, first thing as mentioned before: Vertical placement of the catalysators to prevent liquid going into the turbine; Secondly you need more steam nozzles to hit the blades, and maybe a redesign of the blades themselves :) Take inspiration from a turbo compressor ;)

The project i suggest you to make is to make a RC plane powered by Pulse Jet Engine

I've always enjoyed your videos but something about the way you made this one is just very, very good. Slightly more chill, really just analyzing different aspects of your design and the project at hand. Not sure if this makes any sense but I really enjoyed it

Totally dig the music track slapping together the 3d print prototype!

Video Idea: Making an RC jet-powered boat!

I’m so happy you are finally seeing promising results! Good job Joel, you’re a genius!

Your videos are my go to when I start feeling down. Thanks for being an amazing human.

Well done! Great job

You can improve your design by making higher tolerances. You can also remove the grease from the ball brings using a solvent, instead us a thin silicone based lubricant often found in spray cans. This way you will remove some of the friction caused by the grease. Another thing you can try is to balance your turbine, set it in a pace where it can be suspended upright, the heaviest point will then move to the bottom, then you can either subtract weight from that side or add some to the other side. Keep repeating this until wherever you rotate your turbine, it will stay. You can also try to improve the power of the turbine by attaching some gears to the output shaft in order to provide more torque.

I didn't know you got a metal cnc, thats sick. You should remake some of your best 3d printed rocket engines now that they wont melt so easily!

Greatest combination i knew it yes that will work together .plus tge way i found how to keep tge pressure in bottle so thoes machinering will keep working beautiful mate great🤝👏

you could use some high pressure spray nozzles before catalyzer to mist-ify peroxide and reduce amount needed improving eficiency

You should do a project on a rotating mass balancer, considering you make many high rpm spinning stuff for your projects. Balancing your spinning projects very accurately would really let your projects perform much better and plus it would be fun to watch you do a video on trying to make a balancing rig on your own!

Theme for a future video:- The electric jet engine which you just made reaches several thousand degrees at the nozzle, what if you convery the exhaust into *plasma*, and see it with a thermal imaging camera, you can do this by attaching a high volt power supply wires at the exhaust and make the part of wires at exhaust with tungsten to prevent melting. Improvement sugesstion:- you can use a porous thing to store Potassium Permanganate and pass the hydrogen peroxide through it, I think it work better than platinum or palladium.

Powerplants use a kind of "bent pipe" system with 2 outlets to separate the steam and residue liquid by using their density diffierence to get "dry" steam and prevent their turbine from being damaged. maybe put something like that between your steam generator and turbine, depending on how you set it up you might even be able to reuse the residue fuel

You should have a checkpoint valve between the pump and the "catalyzer" chamber. Also the decomposing Chambers should be oriented vertically. The idea behind this is to keep heavier liquid down and steam will leave and go up reducing the amount of peroxide passing through to the impellers.

When you get the catalyzer working better, you should mix fuel with the output and make a steam/rocket motor.

I want a 3d printer! So here’s my thought on improving the output! We’ve gotta separate the unspent h2o2 from the steam. With the current design, the high pressure is giving you the same problem as with the permanganate. High energy fuel is shot out of the end because the catalyst works too well. If you added a chamber that allows the steam/peroxide mixture to fall vertically into, the peroxide will fall to the bottom, and the steam can be vented from the top. You can connect the top of the separation chamber to the turbine and loop the bottom back into the catalyst chamber. That should both improve the efficiency of the reaction and protect the turbine from peroxide erosion. I don’t think rotating the catalyst chamber vertically will improve the output as well, because you’ll limit the amount of catalyst the peroxide has exposure to. The top converter will really only be exposed to steam. I say keep it horizontal and separate the output.

This video got recommended to me and now I have found a new creator to binge watch before sleep. Nice! About the design improvement though, as many said I believe mounting the catalysts vertically would help reduce liquid H2O2 escaping and getting into the turbine. What if another, smaller turbine was placed just after the catalyst? The steam could rotate that smaller turbine which will require less force, and increase the pressure, maybe even install tubing downstream of the small turbine that decreases in size gradually until the main turbine inlet, which would help increase the inlet pressure even more.

8:05 @Integza I have seen in previous videos that the endmills * go into the material too fast. That's probably why you broke so many. That's also at least one of the reasons if not the reason why your cnc machine makes weird noises. *English isn't my first language, so I'm not sure if that's their name

Would be really interesting to see how this turbine design would compare to a tesla-turbine Edit: and also compared to a pelton turbine

you could try wrapping the cats in an electric blanket and heat them to like 80C might help with the decomposition reaction, more temp is normally more better with chemical reactions. those cats may need re-activating every once in a while the metal will oxidise inside them which may make them perform better actually, PdO and PtO are better oxidation catalysts than Pd(0) and Pt(0) metals.

That was so cool. What shocked me the most was the overall pressure coming out as a chemical reaction.

Also to get more pressure at once put a valve from the catalysator to the turbine so you can release more pressurized steam at once instead off it fluctuating

A way to possibly fix the wasted hydrogen is to have 2 catalyst tanks and insert smaller amounts alternating into each. This might provide constant flow of power.

It would be so fun that if you make a "steam" powered fuel pump with a turbo jet engine or a rocket engine mounted to the bike/skate board (the oxygen generated from the steam turbine can be the oxidizer for the rocket engine)

That was amazing! I don't know if this would help , but maybe add a tank and a check vault ( one way valve) on the end of the chamber with the catolizors for it to be able to build pressure before it enters the turbine , have a valve between the compressor tank and turbine so you can close and open the vault once it builds enough psi

you could try to make the turbine turn the pump, making a self-sustaining system. Also the turbine has high speed but little torque a larger pulley on the generator and smaller on the turbine could produce more electricity to improve the catalytic maybe put it vertically, the peroxide enters from the bottom and an empty space on top, that way the splashes probably won't reach the turbine

Make a thrust tester for it , Measure it. And put it carefully to a plane

I'm so happy that integza now have access to metal parts!!! Now the things are going to be awesome!!

If you make a volute like a pump the gas lose less energy and also, for the same reason, in the side view of impeller you can make a part that can help gas to go out.

You should make a rocket powered blimp! Or just a regular blimp would be cool too.

Put the CC tube vertical with the h2o2 input at the bottom, and use a small "nozzle" to spray the h202 up into the CC's. This should keep a lot of the liquid out of the turbine.

Video series idea: see how advanced of an engine you can make, using only water and electricity as your fuel. Create a 3D printed electrolysis chamber to separate water into HHO gas, then use that HH0 to power a simple sterling engine, then work your way up to a steam engine. Can you make a HHO powered steam jet engine? Can you make a jet that runs only on HHO?

Try keeping the catalyzer vertical, and try mounting a propeller on the turbine, it could generate enough thrust to move a skateboard or even bigger. Really try it.....

move the steam outlet from the catalyzer chamber from the center (middle) to the top. Let gravity help reduce the amount of uncatalyzed H2O2 that is being pushed into the turbine. I would recommend making the catalyzer stack vertical to maximize this gravity separation of liquid and steam

Fantastic video! Your willingness to tackle even the wildest of projects is something I admire greatly! Keep up the great work!

It would be really great if you tried to build a steam-powered rocket like the ones used in World War II, but of course smaller 😅 Really instructive video, once again extremely cool to see what was built in the past. (Even if it was not used for good purposes)

one of those compas guided "vengance weapons" was laying right in front of my old house, they found it 2 years ago when doing maintanaince. the whole village had the be evacuated and some mayor roads troughout the country where closed untill they had disarmed it.

As far as limiting the waste, you can try and use a 12v fuel pump with the correct injector pressure rating and just use a cheap pulse with modulator as a signal generator to fire the injector. And as far as more torque from the flywheel you can try a pressure sensitive valve you can order them in a variety of pressure ratings. So that it builds substantial pressure before even trying to turn the flywheel therefore even more eliminating waste. And doesn't let the pressure drop below a certain point. Awesome video and keep up with the CNC router. You just need a bench top Mill and mini lathe and you'll be on whole new level of builds 🤟

Can you do a video where you compete all your engines against each other? You've made so many but a head to head competition of which one is the most powerfull would be interesting!

Hello, you can put the catalizers in an angle with the exit in the upper part so the liquid peroxide dont get pushed outside and if you conect the turbine to a flywheel you would then -after it gets speed- be able to move an electric generator

You could try to make a rocket and mount the turbine inside the nozzle so that the rocket pumps its fuel without the need for steam. That pump could be started with compressed air and then become self sustaining.

Amazing🙏Keep on going 🤙

I fully appreciate the hard work and planning that would have gone into this. I do possess a cnc router , a 3d printer but I lack the enterprise and interest you have. Thanks for spurring interest in these type of activities.

Honestly I would love to see if you could use the turbine to remake a V2 rocket. I’d tell you not to put explosives in it but i have a feeling this video already puts me on some sort of list so it’s up to you man.

This is a very exciting project to make complete use of hydrogen peroxide is to have a reservoir for the steam and let the bottom of reservoir be connected to 2nd catelitic converter vertically so that all the hydrogen peroxide is used and the gravity would give you the added effect for the steam

If you reduce the quantity going into the turbine ie. A jet valve from say a pressure washer or something much like that and set you catalyzer so the out-put is at the top, you can get higher pressures with smaller quantities and fix the issue of your efficiency

Love this!! I would add a high pressure reservoir/accumulator after the vertically mounted catalysts. This would need a high pressure feed pump, maybe common rail fuel injector pump for cars, easily capable of 100 plus bar. Add a pilot operated valve after the pump so as the pressure drops in the reservoir more hydrogen peroxide is added to the catalysts, the fuel pump has a built in return to tank so its always circulating. Could also experiment using injectors to atomize the hydrogen peroxide over the catalysts. The catalyst chamber and pressure reservoir would be at the same pressure so could be made in one high pressure vessel. I would use a small hydraulic cylinder and at least one pressure relief valve. The steam from the reservoir could then be metered through a valve to the turbine for desired power/speed plus having on demand steam without waiting for reaction.

Damn, why haven't I gotten your channel recommended earlier. Love the content, love the way you bring in both history and engineering in a relatively simple way so a guy like me can follow the video and understand the topics you talk about.

This video earned you a sub. Good stuff. Thanks.

Video Idea: make 3D printed hovercraft. You can use compressed air to allow the hovercraft to float and to propel it forward.

You should start a series where you make an engine every episode and produce electricity with it and compare which are the most efficient and with the most efficient engines you power a skateboard and go through a drive through

Try mounting the catalyzer vertically and adding a chamber to capture the extra liquid peroxide.

You can also add a "catch can" between the catalysor and the turbine (an air tight tank), so any liquid can be collected there before reaching the turbine! Your videos are always educationally entertaining 🤣. Cheers

i think adding an expansion chamber could come in handy. and rotate your catalyst chamber vertically, with the inlet on the bottom, and outlet on the top, for both the catalyst and expansion chamber.

You have upgraded the channel with that CNC! You could add an acumulator tank before the turbine to retain the liquid and have only steam going into the turbine. That's used on cooling systems to separate liquid and vapor coolant.

Video idea : make a mini steam powered boat

Idk how I got to this channel but I’m 4 videos in and I love it here.

You got my thumbsup alone for the dance of happiness.😂 Great work

Pre-heat the turbine to prevent condensation of the water vapor and cooling of the oxygen. I think you might be losing a bit of energy with a cold turbine.

You should probably try 3d printing gears for a transmission to try and increase the speed of your turbine.

Add a restriction valve of some sort to the outlet from the catalysator so that you can keep a constant pressure and then at the end of the turbine where the outlet for the steam is maybe cap it off so that the left over steam is feed to another system to use that heat and pressure to drive something else. I.e sterling engine or another turbine.

Like others have said for the catalytic converter you'll want to mount it vertically so that the peroxide has to fight gravity and is therefore less likely get shot out of the turbine. In addition to this it may be wise to install a "splash plate" above the catalytic converter in it's chamber so that any peroxide that get's shot up hits that plate and gets splashed to the side of the chamber to pool up underneath the catalytic converter. Leave a small gap below the catalytic converter in the chamber so any leftover peroxide can pool up and into the catalytic converter.

Future idea: make a plane named Integza 1! it could be rocket powered, jet powered, electricly powered or powered using these co2 cartrages. Even better, make a tomato bay that can drop tomatos out midair and use it to bomb things!

I would love to see a multistage sugar rocket. I think it would make a great video. Great turbine by the way!

Omit pump, replace with simple valve. Add 90deg bend after converters going up to a T, where one side connects to top of peroxide tank to equalize pressure, and the other is new output. Open valve to gravity feed reaction. Maybe vertical stack.

Catalytic converter works when it's red hot decomposition of per oxide will efficient

Future idea: this has always been a tough challenge for me to come up with an idea suggestion for your comments as it seems like all the best ideas are already posted or already in a video you've made in the past. All that being said, I know if I had a 3D printer I would thoroughly enjoy making model rockets and instruments of my own design (something like lap guitar, electric fiddle, monochord etc). Hope this gets seen, going to keep trying and comment in hopes of being someone that might receive a 3D printer, if in fact you still do that now and into the future. Thanks for all your great videos, I love your presence, your presentation of your various builds, and have learned so much in the year or two that I've been subbed.

Video idea: I've seen a few steam bikes before, but with this safer and more compact method generating steam I wonder if you could make a steam bike that doesn't require the extreme heat and flame of a boiler. Plus this is safer, and far lighter.

I think a good idea for a build video would marry this chemical reaction into a rocket with an r/c controlled throttle. You could even see this power your skateboard without the weight of the turbine and even see this take flight like the old pulse-jet winged bomb design w/o the boom of course! And you could even 3D print the rocket body & nozzle all at once after you figure out the proper nozzle for optimum thrust. Or maybe not? IDK I hate tomatoes too so either way this would work at blasting those across a yard or even blasting holes in them if strapped down.

Will be awesomely glad to see V3. Darega taskete this guy!

Hello there Integza, i think it would be pretty cool if you could 3d print a cutom plane and attach one of your pulse jet engines to you, i love the sound they make and think it would be pretty cool watching it fly, I think it could be put in the fusilageof the plane as its not sucking in any air and have the exhaust out the back.

12:02 …this dance = new sub…keep up the good work and great dance moves…cheers..👌🏼✌🏼

You need to make a tank, in a 3D printer (PLA So that if a part breaks it will be easy to replace and also the tank will be lightweight) OR in a cnc (Aluminum It will be really good, strong and realistic). That the head (turret) will be a rifle that can shoot sponge balls. In my opinion if you make it out of aluminum or half PLA and half aluminum in the turret has a rifle you will be the first to build such a thing. And another idea to put a tomato behind an EDF motor and behind the tomato a knife or a small mud bath (mud box)

usted es un genio, excelente trabajo!!!

you should make a *high speed camera* (a camera mounted on a rail that goes really fast) it would be a great opportunity to test new designs and i think it would be rlly fun

I've been wanting a 3d printer for so long i can't even remember. I have sooo many ideas i would love to execute! Next time try making an actual rocket engine, or you can't?

My suggestion is to add an extension to the catalyst tube - maybe double the total length. This would give the peroxide a little room to drop to the bottom of the tube. Then move the steam output to the top of the output end. The idea is to keep the liquid out of the turbine - you're losing a lot of momentum to turbine blades impacting the liquid. You can actually hear this by comparing the pitch of the sound of the turbine between the compressed air test and the steam test.

For a side fed turbine design you should have the exhaust outlet fully open to the atmosphere. Also if you look into A/R ratio of turbine housings you'll probably find the inlet is too small relative to the turbine diameter. Since you're working with a small-ish flow of gas I'd suggest down sizing the turbine wheel. It'd be helpful to get a pressure reading from the inlet side. Cool vid!

Future idea: you should create a 3d printed submarine, like a U boat from WW2. It would be nice to see you use more electronics.
