Condition:Used

This is Tiernay Turbine Model TT10-1 Gas Turbine with attached 10 KW, 28 VDC alternator (not shown in the photos but is included on the gearbox) mounted on a portable test cart with all instrumentation/controls needed to operate the turbine. It was built as a demonstration/test unit and has been operated very little since the unit was finished. The unit is fully self-contained and mobile with a small fuel tank and two 12 V lead-acid batteries wired in parallel. The TT10-1 runs at 50,300 RPM reduced to 12,000 RPM at the output shaft of the attached gearbox into the 10 KW alternator included with the sale. The alternator is rated at 357 amps at 28VDC continuously and 1000 amps for 30 seconds at a reduced output voltage. Originally designed to start military aircraft and ground combat vehicles like the M1A tank. The only thing needed to use this turbine in your project is fuel!

A set of three military manuals (organization, depot, and IPB) in hardcopy are included as well as the instrumentation wiring. A list of items included in this sale is as follows:
- TT10-1 Gas Turbine
- Teledyne Brown 10 KW Alternator
- Starter
- Gauge Set: RPM, EGT, Oil Pressure, Oil Temperature, Fuel Flow Rate and Fuel Pressure(on the shut-off valve)
- Instrumentation Cabinet with gauges, throttle control, and operating switches
- High and low pressure fuel pumps
- Two fuel filters
- Exciter for the engine igniter
- Solenoid operated fuel shut-off valve
- Two 12 VDC lead-acid batteries
- Cart
- Engine Electronic Control Module(EECM), microprocessor controlled (not wired in test cart)
- Generator Electronic Control Module (GECM),
(not wired in test cart)

Also included is a brand new turbine wheel with shaft, never been installed in an engine.  The turbine wheel by itself would be close to $1000. A box of miscellaneous  parts is thrown in for good measure which includes a complete second gearbox.

As with all turbine engines, this unit can be dangerous or fatal if operated improperly. It is your responsibility operate the unit safely and ensure that it is maintained.

Due to the weight and bulk of this unit, I can only offer local pickup unless you can arrange shipping from the point of sale. Thanks for looking!
