How to build a steel turbine using only a drill press and basic tools such as a hacksaw and files! This video will ...
Jet engine output is measured in thrust, not horsepower. Thrust reflects the force moving an aircraft forward, making it the standard metric for jet power.
YouTuber Matt Mikka added jet engines to his Tesla. He built the system from scratch, and it made his 0 to 60 time over a second faster.
All jet-engine design has trade-offs among weight, drag, parts and power. “Now I have a lighter engine, so I can put a bigger fan on it,” says Alan Epstein, the company’s technology chief.
A modern day jet engine is a little more complicated, and the key to getting started is a bit circular; you've got to have an engine running already.
A turbofan engine is an engineering feat. Here's what to know about how a jet engine works, from the fan in the front to the hot inner core.
"I was surprised this whole thing worked," the jet engine's creator said.
Pratt & Whitney's web site has a simple tutorial about how jet engines work. Also, its web site recounts the company's long history in airplane engine design and manufacturing.
