Gary's Jet Journal

Jet Spec Designer
This is a must have program for anyone who is interested in building their own jet engine from a turbocharger. The program will calculate the expected thrust from any turbo as well as design and layout the placement of flame tube holes. Highly recommended! If you have problems downloading the program, right click on the filename and select save as from the pop-up menu.

Warning! The projects depicted in this website can be dangerous. While this website is not intended to be an instructional course on how to build these projects, we do realize that individuals may attempt to build their own versions. We highly suggest that you take all appropriate safety precautions when dealing with machinery, and use extreme care while operating jet engines. Serious injury or death can occur while operating a jet turbine engine in close proximity, due to explosive fuels and moving parts. Extreme amounts of potential and kinetic energy are stored in operating engines. Always use caution and good judgment while operating engines and machinery, and wear appropriate eye and hearing protection.
