here is what its like cruising.
a little over buck heading north coming from point judith.

This **** is cool.

Can you explain ignitors - I assume these are truly just ignitors placed by the starting fuel nozzles?

and generators.....????

You have spark plugs, we have igniters: http://www.championaerospace.com/products/igniters/

The generator you're referring to is called a starter/generator. It is driven off of our accessory gearbox and is always spinning whenever the engine is spinning. It is used to start the turbine, then when the turbine is up and running, it flips to a generate mode like an alternator. So, basically it is a starter/alternator in one.

Gotcha.....

Very cool..........

Glad to see starting the turbine has grown up over the years. I went to school to get an A&P. We had a couple of T33 each with a J33 jet engine. I don't remember the start sequence, but it was all manual. One day we were out playing with these things and one of the less mechanically minded guys was in the front seat. He did not follow sequence and melting pieces came shooting out of the tail. Red hot and flying. We all took off; figured he was going to kill himself and us. That was fun.
He did manage to shut it down before it came flying apart.
So our next project was take it apart, which meant pulling the tail of the aircraft off.
That was fun too.
Love your rebuild write up; thanks!

Yes you got it.
in addition there are 4 ignitors.
placed right inline with the start fuel nozzles.
once the main fuel nozzles are lit both ignitors and start fuel nozzles are shut down
Pilots can turn the ignitors back on in the event of a flame out.

here is one

start fuel nozzle

here is where there located
this is the combuster
see the start nozzle sitting on the main fuel rail.
Note the hole where the ignitor has been removed.

here is the exciter ignition unit this has two outputs that run two ignitors each
28 vdc input gives approx 2500vdc min.
Its like a MSD box on roids
you should see these spark.
Maybe if you guys are good i will shoot a short video of it tomorrow.
