For many years, we have been conducting engine research. This primarily focuses on engine malfunctions and repairs, where we draw on our extensive experience in establishing and operating a full-cycle repair facility. We also conduct research into the highly relevant topic of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), including small turbojet engines, pulse jet engines (which are gradually gaining increasing relevance), and pneumatic catapults for UAV launches.
This section presents the results of our most recent work on these topics.
Our work in the field of engine fault and repair
This is a very important part of our research. It’s not just about what equipment to purchase for your own shop, how to choose the right machine for crankshaft grinding, cylinder block honing, valve seat machining, and valve grinding. It’s not just about how to correctly calculate shop profitability, or which equipment to choose — European, Turkish, Indian, or Chinese.
For years, we’ve been hearing from some leading “scientists” that engine repair doesn’t exist, that it’s long since died out, and that it’s no longer needed (let them tell our military about that, yeah, yeah). As a result, the repair departments of some of our technical universities are doing everything but repair. And some departments have long since turned into museums of antediluvian technologies and equipment that are no longer applicable to modern engines.
In this situation, there’s long been no one and nowhere to train repair specialists. And if leading scientists can’t and won’t, then we’ll have to do it. We began this work by posting a large number of books and articles on the website, but the most important and exclusive material is, without a doubt, a specific analysis of the equipment market, with a detailed analysis of the technical characteristics, parameters, advantages, and disadvantages of machines from various manufacturers.
You will find such material only here, and our main goal is to answer the most important question for practitioners…
How to organize and ensure proper and high-quality engine repair?…
Our work in the field of UAVs
Our contribution to the field of attack unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) consists of several main areas. These are pulse jet engines, turbojet engines, and both types of these engines are directly intended for attack UAVs, as well as pneumatic launch systems for such UAVs (catapults). We’re also interested in traditional piston engines with propellers.
At different times, we did some research work, the results of which are published and presented in our articles on the topic of UAVs. What kind of work these are, in fact, even their name alone says. But in short, this is the modeling of pulsejets elements, including the resonance tube and petal valves, as well as the modeling of the entire pulsejets as a whole, where, by the way, we were the first to obtain dimensionless similarity criteria that allow us to easily model and scale engines of this type. In addition, we were the first to show that to create a strike UAV (cruise missile), it is not necessary to spend years creating a special turbojet engine — it is enough to simply buy a commercial micro-turbojets, the price of which will not exceed several thousand dollars. Well, and for dessert, we practiced in the mathematical description of a pneumatic catapult, creating its full mathematical model for the first time. We’ve also leveraged artificial intelligence to create a model of a UAV propeller system with both fixed-pitch and variable-pitch propellers.
See what came out of all this…
