That sucked!

[powerthirst7389]

Build a real rocket pussy

[jennklein71]

theres a fire bug if ive ever seen one

[ThePoorbegger]

fO2 + Fire = Bigger Fire

[shiman6d]

I dont see what you're trying to accomplish here. Woo, you made a flamethrower.

[TheChickeneer]

OH COME ON PEOPLE! Cant someone have some fun with fire withought being hated????

[oipbhakeld]

its not a jet ne ways, its more of a rocket than ne thing. burning fuel forced out of a nozzle to create thrust. jet engines are a bit more fucking complicated

[doublebubleguy12]

@oipbhakeld yeah more complicated than this but im an aircraft mechanic at honeywell and jet engines are very simple and easy to buil but it takes some money to build

[Kpilot786457]

its a flame thrower made of chicken noodle soup. cool.

[parim31]

ok so its a flamethrower. lol

[rabbitphobia]

you may as well of video taped you lighting your own fart and call it a jet.

[r00dd00d]

*facedesk*

[rickey5353]

What is it?

[qpae123]

@rickey5353 Something close to a forge :P ..u cant fly it but u can make a sword...well at least a small one:))

[rickey5353]

@qpae123 OK. LOL! Hey, Keep on thinking and experimenting man. Future inventive genius still belongs to curious minds and relentless efforts.

[qpae123]

@rickey5353 Yep :) but that thing is a forge :)

[westoneng]

gay

[typoeman333]

this isnt a thermojet.... this is basically the same thing you get if you blow on a match. the only thrust it may produce unless you get A LOT more pressure behind it is the trust the fan produces. there is a reason they only use this kind of system for things like afterburners.

[jiripollaz]

fuck you ass stupid pig

[spitvace]

That is very dangerous young man - you could start a forest fire. You should be doing this type of thing in the basement..

[AceDoubleG]

Good idea for starters but is there a way to get more presure? Like get a more powerful fan or use gas? I'm 16 btw lol

[moses2910]

muahhhh eli kratt



[bobcheese427]

pretty cool :)

[lambstream]

where the fuck are u gonna get kerosine???

[kitleyd]

derp you Learned that when you add air to a flame it intences the burn derp !!!!!!!!!!!!

[randomdude3485]

you could use it to heat a hot air balloon i am working on one but am using a mig welding carbon dioxoide canister with one ende cut of in the other end i will ket compressed air through then use a rag coated in deisel :)

[iulik17d]

wow! you are a fucking genius! 

[sbP144]

LOL, what do you want that flame for?

[shadowblade145]

LOL You're what every nerd portrayed on TV sounds like.

[1BustedMyth]

Can I use that to power my Space Shuttle that I am building in my shed from Bean tins and duct tape?

Can you put more paper towls in it?, I will need at least a roll, I calculate, to reach orbit

Do you have any advice on making cheap spacesuits?, tinfoil, plastic wrap with a fish bowl for the helmet maybe?

[michaljestem]

You dont know anything about jet engines :P its just two soup cans

[666TECHNO666]

you shouldve turned the fan off half way through and made it a pulsejet, although there wouldnt be enough air flow to start it

[EnglishTurbines]

What are you hoping to achieve? cos thrust is not going to be on your list. Just saying.

[SammySpeaksUp]

the PE is burning,

[jomesy1]

just a cool flame thrower

[Schallrich]

boon

[makenis607]

No stars it's gay no conbusttion, no nozle, and no life, and never going to get laid!!!

Ur a fag and you suck at building shit so quit making gay videos and you might get some friends......maybe not you've allready lost all hope...!

[Thetruthishere11]

videos like this need to be banned. but they are funny. Maybe a retard section needed.

[Thetruthishere11]

ghetto. i did shit like that when i was 6.

[jeffgooloolie]

WTF is this for? You wasted a paper towel, fuel, 2 soupcans, 3 minutes of your life, and 3 minutes of my life. FAIL. "Thermojet", lol.

[prototype9000]

looks like a hobo fire

[CUONGVN01]

so bad

[asew50]

haha you sound like a kid :D "and then i can take it apart and put it away then if mommy will let me i will play my legos " haha im not picking on you i just think the way you talk is funny

[Duffytoler]

You need a bell-shaped nozzle to develop thrust against the expansion of the flame front . Otherwise you are kinda just blowing fire through a tube.

[morganrox24]

u sound like your gay hahahahaha faggot

[pyroboy08]

that is called blowing a fire with a fan, it never reaches the state of a running jet engine

[bigdnelyria]

lame



[Spartan9567]

man i am making a soup can turbo jet in a couple of weeks, this is my small tutorial, first make some fixed blades attached to the container, like steam turbines. Posisition your shaft with your rotating blades in between each set of fixed ones. Use a pump and kero but make sure you pump the kero through a mist nozzle. Use some spark plugs to light it up and it should work perfectly.

[UberPloxage]

go gargle some dick..

[GeneralGoopy]

all you did was put fire in a soup can and blow it with an electric fan -.-...... there's nothing remotely impressive about that. it's not a jet

[opmotocrosser]

this comment will be number 1 (:

[talio65]

idiot

[timdietz88]

You should use a nozzle for more thrust

[har32]

this is retarded its s fan blowing on fire wow.

[autonymouse]

You sound like andy dick

You might as well have left the paper towels out in the open.

Best if you put the matches away and go sit in your room for a while.

[Atombombe1234]

make a fuel inhection

[Linkinred]

lame

[doughnutriot]

My Honda Civic produces more power than that.

[paulwisdom2008]

@doughnutriot Genius. Who knew a car designed by one of the best manufacturers out there would have more power than a DIY garden jet.

[doughnutriot]

My comment was sasrcastic.

[GhostActual206]

@doughnutriot I doubt it

[doughnutriot]

True a fire makes more power than my B16..... NOT UNTIL I HIT VTAK!!! :P

[deaftodd]

amatuer pyro

[balls2yourface]

A fucking BIC lighter has more thrust u retarded fag get a life

[Tomm351]

EXTREMELY INTERESTING!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bulleta7xpwd]

dont call it a thermojet when its just a fan blowing some fire

[turbofanman1]

thats just a man-made fire with a brushless computer fan feeding it oxygen. i have a good project for you to create one day...you get a large propane tank...set it up real good...you want as much radial force potential output as possible for it to work ok? and then what you do is smash it with a flaming bat man its so cool oh my god.

[heytisazn]

ur fanning a fire..

[justin6532]

for one thing you talk funny and thats just plane stupid. its not even a jet, its just fire and a fan. )-=

[alldressed2455]

your talk funny,

[davegtar]

at least you have the corret idea

[adamlikescheeze2]

thnx dude nice vid nd all the haters fk off nd get a life!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[novawave333]

yeah dude totaly i feel kinda bad reading all those comments its a realy great idea it just needs a little more ya know

[akumabito2008]

The principle is sound. Your fan however, does not compress the air. I am not sure this fan type would be powerful enough, or what level of compression would be needed - you could try again by fitting a cone shape right behind the fan, forcing the air into a smaller area. This should compress it if the fan has enough power. Also try gaseous fuel for easier combustion. good luck with future projects!

[voon100]

Why did you upload this when it failed miserably?

[balls2yourface]

dude a cat taking a shit is more entertaining than that

[balls2yourface]

the only way this could be funny u retarded piece of shit is if you accidently somehow blew up the can of fuel and died faggot.

[flyingmen2]

thats not a engine, its a flame with wind blowing on it.

[callyboygid]

holy shit man thats amazing. fuck rolls royce. you should go into business making engines for all the modern jets. never seen anything so powerfully jet like! what a little gay prick. get a life!

[linx950]

ten points for using a computer power supply

[Ravenpulse]

nothing special here

[Fire0Eyed0Boy]

hahaha, h8boxx, you're an idiot.

as in you are, because he doesn't own an idiot.

[jenkem23]

youve invented fire!

[pcflyer77]

The only possible way this could be entertaining is if you burned your eyebrows off, then it'd be halarious. Do you honestly mean to tell us that you couldn't find anything better anything more productive to do with the time you spent building this, such as playing in traffic.

[raylee323]

next time add a nozzle

[aninda89]

u r a waste of molecules

[izzarulz]

thats not a jet engine

[madmatt113944]

wow go blow a fire! its the same thing dip-fuck thats not a jet in any way shape or form!

[masicklazik]

nerdy voice, no offence, but cool jet engine. good science experiments.

[9999999999999ELLHNES]

do you musturbate a lot?

[H8boxx]

Your an idiot.

[teeter1939]

um, yeah, I want that 2:30 of my life back. nothing sucks more than a stoner playing with an overglorified burning rag in a can.

[glumpy10]

Your kidding yourself. That is nothing but a fire in a bit of a breeze.

No purpose, value or interest there.

[alazzurra]

This was seriously uninteresting...

[DeathCail]

O...M...G.... Pulse jets are SOOO much cooler... Try making a jam jar jet

[Collserra]

I have done this only I used a paint removal tool that blows really hot air out the end and I got a foot long, jet like flame.

[volcanicdoomfire123]

u sound old or constipated also ur an idiot for taking the fan out of a computer or something like that! its got soo many wires! you could get one at ur computer specialist for like 7 bucks or less.

[LordZobby]

cool but not going to produce much thrust

[madestman101]

and the point of this is?

I have a kerocine fan heater that does that ! but no smoke or effort! it does not have thermojet written on it though.

this is a dirty heater nothing else!!!

[killakalilolo]

your an idiot

[wheelnutt]

Thats not a thermajet, thats a fire.

[Axon284053]

hmmm if u had a more powerful fan u could make a flamethrower

[ferretious]

LAME!!!

[ElyanSun]

Great firework warm up , don't hesitate to Use Pyrotechnics effects ....haha

[ostmash]

if u get a more powerfull fan and a net that holds the cloth inside the can i think u would get more like a jet flame in the back :)

[313EDO]

I tried it once but at a easier way...I used only a can and filled it up with some old OIL 2:5 to the can...but before you need to heat it up over 60°C and after than you can set it into fire...after it burns from itself... but only on a low flame... sooo we have an aircompressor and I have blowed into the can under a controled pressure and slowly get over 400°C or more I didn't had a thermometer

but for everyone!! MAKE IT ONLY FOR YOUR OWN RISK because it burns like gasoline!

[destroyersteak]

you need a thiner nozzel that would make it look like an actual turbine and could actualy give you some thrust, but very little

[fnnw7777]

needs compression

[DJszymon]

pretty much you made a flame-thrower. You need a much more powerful fan then that plus use a flammable gas instead of a flaming towel. P.S. try making a jam jar pulse jet it is pretty simple and has significant trust depending on how it is made or also try a Chinese Pulse Jet also pretty simple just need simple welding skills. You can find planes on the internet

[yuandrew]

This was my "first attempt"

I've stepped up to using propane fuel for subsequent run and had electronic ignition. There were actually "jet engines" that worked like this; I've called this a ThermoJet but one web site (Search for "Scott's Homage To the Motorjet") calls them "motor jets" instead due to the fact the compressor is driven by a separate motor or internal combustion engine.

I did try making a pulse jet (well, more of a "pulse combustor") with a muffler off my car.

[DJszymon]

A thermojet is more successful when you use a bigger motor and one thats faster. But i agree there were jets like that. your next attempt should be a turbo jet. Also take people step by step if you do it

[havaden96]

@DJszymon : if you did attatch a axle on the fan to a turbine behind the flames it may work mutch better

[DJszymon]

@havaden96 (1/2) I still disagree, he called it a thermojet, what i believe he was trying to build was a ram jet. A ramjet works by using already fast moving air. A computer fan is hardly fast moving air. The thrust on that flamethrower would be what the computer fan is pushing and that is almost nothing. Also adding an axle and another fan in the way of the flames would do nothing, i am assuming that is what you mean.

[DJszymon]

@havaden96 (2/2) By adding an axle you would be attempting to create a turbojet but a turbojet needs precise fitting parts. You could use a car turbocharger like most people do. search for this "Do-It-Yourself Turbocharger Turbojet" remove the quotes, it should be the first video that appears. It should help and explain a lot of questions

[xPowerofwillx]

wtf is with the negative comments? this guys smart and he knows what hes doing!

[cube11235]

You sound like the stereotypical nerd =)

[RoboTekno]

umm.... an the point of this is? :\

[electricdude2706]

y not have a campfire instead?

[bellkxboy]

why?

[v3ctr4]

Geek.

[Joelduffy]

good call, jerk.

[meatloaf666999]

makes a cone on the end with about a half inch to an inch and a half opening and then try it should have a nice effect like a jets after burners

[yuandrew]

I already did make a nozzle. See my later versions.

[meatloaf666999]

ah i have not seen any of the other ones i was just kinda browsing through youtube and seen the video

[paintballingguy]

Nice Idea, use Rubbing alcohol or HEET (from a auto store) It burns clean, and Blue..

[yuandrew]

I know what HEET is; I made some methyl-alcohol rockets out of 20 oz soda bottles using that as fuel. However, alcohol burns with an almost colorless flame so I won't be able to see it in daylight.

[paintballingguy]

Very true, but it burns hot, clean and not to fast.

[dodopod]

Seems kind of dumb having the paint thinner soak into the concrete right in front of the jet.

[devilboy1080]

shit nigga, with flames and smoke like that you should really have your Inhaler on hand. you crazy mofo you

[sdfkjqweoiusd]

oh wow, a big flame. Try using axe

[Erihiso]

dude try using three fans soldered together then try this again n see what happens ^_^

[aljo67]

Great vid. keep up the good work...only us backyard/garage scientist,machinist, and engineers really appreciate stuff like this.

[criticalmass181]

Right on, Miles !!!! Ummmm, there are some really basic flaws with this design, for sure, but it's a starting point. Yuandrew, keep going. You'll get there, eventually. Just as a tip, you'd do well to invest in a rivet gun, instead of duct tape. There's a heap of sites out there, that will have you in the hot seat, before you know it. Take care.

[bobby32123]

Wow. That was probably one of the lamest movies I have ever seen. This is so crappy. your voice is really annoying too.

[MilesM111]

I am really angered by all these idiotic comments.

Seriously, what did you all start with? A jam jer pulsejet I'll guess. This is a great start, simplistic, but you don't just make an amazing thing on your first attempt! And, this is a true thermojet, since a motor in the computer fan powers it's equivalent of a turbine.

[MilesM111]

Also, when I say "what did you all start with", I mean, what did the people posting negative comments start with.

[darknomad333]

I don't know if you are up for suggestions, but add another fan:

Try this design,

Air-->(Fan)(Soup Can)(Soup Can)(Fan)---->Exit

the second fan you invert, so basically it sucks the air through the outlet as a spiral. But the second fan will have to be metal, like a metal bathroom exhaust fan.

I dunno i just got that idea watching yours. Im currently building a quad turbine engine dune buggy type thing

[yuandrew]

The "Induced Draft" fan probably won't really help since it should be "Forced Draft" as I want higher pressure inside the combustion chamber. I already replaced the second soup can with a long aerosol can that has the valve area cut off to form a narrow opening as a nozzle.

I haven't really been working on this for a while since I recently acquired a turbocharger which I'm planning to use as a core for the gas turbine/jet engine I will eventually be building.

[zander237]

AWESOME

[boa721]

that was dumb as hell, can you say gay?

[nexus2l]

use propane and control the fuel pressure with the valve

[yuandrew]

Already have that set up. My next couple videos featuring this has it running on propane.

[shmexiotyisroel]

pointless

[nubsk8r]

what was the point of that?

[metromotor]

I vote for this to be one of the top 100 videos. You guys have no idea how well this would do on Conan or Jay Lenno

[trytops007]

this sucks ... maybe if you strap this to your bak, you might fly . this only gives 10 g of thrust ... wow wat a flame ........boring!!!!!

[Hallscottf]

Jeez, people--too harsh! I actually like yuandrew's experiments with motorjets. He's obviously done his homework--probably googled "Scott's jet engine"--learned a lot in the process, and then actually gotten outdoors to try out his creativity while the rest of you remain in the house nurturing your relationship with your right hand. Good luck with the next attempt, yuandrew.

[yuandrew]

It was partially inspired by Scott's website. I have it in pieces as of now (the foil tape melted) but the next one would be bigger and be welded.

[bleachworthy]

That isn't even a freaking thermojet! it's a fan blowing on burning shit! get a fucking education, dipshit. btw, don't attempt to make a real one, you'd burn yourself up. fucking moron.

[MilesM111]

Get a fucking education yourself. This IS a thermojet/motorjet.

Do research before making retarded comments.

[dannywoolli1983]

what a pile ov c r a p

[vascoa]

do even understand how a turbine, this is a thermic engine works?..

the fuel isnt burning, its injected to burn totally in the combustion,, not to sit there.. the air as actually to be compressed and not just running through.. that fan would never do it.. and fuel is probably too weak to creat usable air expansion.. but hey good luck

[agentbob100]

This is the worst video I have seen on YouTube. That's quite an accomplishment

[shaunyshag]

You is taking the piss no? A compuer cooling fan blowing smoke and flames from a paint thinner soaked piece of paper! Jesus christ almighty, my 6 year old son has bigger plans than that!

[t0p0l1eve4]

that is the most stupid thing i have ever seen

even my 10 year brother can do better than that!!

[samoht1977]

This is as impressive as useless.

[moninchow]

You should try blowing the cum out of your nose before making a video next time!!

[tubedriver60]

you suck...get a job and move out of MOM's house!

[elvemageownz123]

gah, i wonder where you got the computer fan? well, it sounds as if you work with computers alot XDD nerd

[javamac10]

wow..... and all the other kids in his class made REAL turbines....

[fiik420]

all the other kids in his class got a job and moved out of his moms house

[VGNA190]

That was... lame.

[jonni45]

Rocket science for ya eh! Thank heavens this guy wasnt workin 4 the nazis in WW2..We wudda all bin doomed!!

[VeeDubbDood]

Hmmm...

I used a leaf-blower on my stove and got the same result.

Your computer fan has more thrust alone than the entire device...And your combustion chamber comes before your fuel and ignition source. It makes no sence.

[18MDNZ81]

im 15 and i made one out of a automatic air bed pump and 2 cans and it actualy has complete combustion(blue flame) which creates more thrust than a little yellow flame. ill post a vidoe reposonse to this soon

[corporateoutcast]

so... you've achieved blowing air over a fire. Wow.

[cheeseinc]

you sound like a cock man, if only you could impersonate how people speech and what they sound like through text.

that was fucken boring aswell. that flame wasnt big at all. if your gonna post something on youtube, make it exciting man. n00b!
