  Lol, the close captions say "Music" when the turbine is accelerating. Yes, youtube, indeed, lol

  As an helicopter mechanic for 23 years, I can tell you this test went exactly as I thought it would. Each of the fuels has its own specific gravity, and unless the metering jets are adjusted to compensate for this you&apos;ll get weaker power due to incomplete fuel burn. The reason that the hydro diesel did better than the other two is due to physics. The water in the fuel cools the air as it is injected, this increases the aircharge in the combustion section much like nitrous does in a car. Older turbojet engines actually used a water injection on take-off(though it was injected into the compressor section not the combustion section) to increase the performance of the engine. The AV-8B Harrier still uses this today, to boost engine power when in a hover. Jet-A is a very dry fuel, and is anhydrous, and soaks up water like a sponge. This is the reason why a lot of airplanes will put an additive known as colloquially as Prist, though many manufactures make it now, that lowers the freezing point of the water suspended in the fuel to prevent ice build up on the fuel filter screens. So, that pretty much means, hydro-fuel will more than likely not be coming to an airline near you any time soon.

  Idle is 35,000 rpm. The precision engineering these parts must require is unreal.

  As an engineer (BSEE) I enjoyed not only the experiment with different fuels, but the science and the mechanics behind constructing that engine. Well done!
