Hello All.
Came across this forum while scrounging the internet for any Indian made jet engines. Didn't realize I have already joined it in 2018.
Had forgotten my password and all and recently recovered it.
I never knew there's quite many people interested in these engines especially here in India lately.
I have been building and testing jet engines since 2013 now with many prototypes tested and running successfully.
Also came across @tonystark a few months back and he was generous enough to balance some rotors for my jet engines.
You can see my testing videos here-
This is with the afterburner-

The one with external fuel manifold.

Just finished testing my latest build of a 500N thrust jet engine-

I will be more than happy to share my current project progress on this forum. Hopefully it will encourage others in this field to start something of their own.
I am a Mechanical Engineer by profession and have done all the calculations for my projects myself.
Regards.
@madpatty,
Welcome back.
Wanted to tell tonystark that someone in Panjab had already built a working prototype, but couldn't locate your old thread.
Here is the link for members who may not have seen the earlier videos.

Thanks.
Here's some of the videos of my current 500N engine being testrun.
Sorry for the bad videos :( as the joy of getting the engine running superseded everything else.
You can guess by the impeller size the air flow this huge machine is sucking.

And the spool-up
