How to Build a Jet Engine-Part 1- Introduction

[69muscat]

turn the back ground music off man , we can't hear you

[Joris4own]

whats the name of the song.

Just kidding, it sucks

[ccubsfan94]

i would just like to say. in future videos please don't have music overpowering your talking. (i have done it before and if it is not quiet enough it sounds annoying.)

[luketbm]

thanks

[luketbm]

can you use a turbo off a diesel or does it have to be of a petrol ?

[freakinxawesome]

@luketbm Definitely.  As far as I know all turbos are pretty much the same and function the same way. So you can use any turbo you'd like.

[MrHockeyplaya31]

a little bit bigger turbo? lol

[DiamondPilotDan]

why WOULDN'T anyone wanna build a jet engine?!

[freakinxawesome]

@DiamondPilotDan "Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired." -Cave Johnson

@freakinxawesome Your next project should be a portal gun,'Cause you can build a rocket to gather some moon rocks ;)

[gamer1200000]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm i little bit bigger turbo its huge

[jasiel9653]

why do you look scare?

[Pbann2621]

hi, I do not speak English, but I wanted to know the level of the turbo, what kind of turbo should be accurate?

thank!

[scuffieduffie]

I think im gonna get a small turbo.

Couse im not aiming for thrust, only make it work.

I work as a welder and work with tools in that catogory all day so thats not a problem ;) only get the parts and build this thing.

[EmbSysDev]

Why do you need the music ?

[UpcomingJedi]

How can I turn off the shitty music?

[HALOFREAK9715]

anyways good vid



[HALOFREAK9715]

you look a bit like sheldon off of the Big Bag Theory

[freakinxawesome]

@HALOFREAK9715 The funny part is, you're not the first one to tell me that, haha

[HALOFREAK9715]

@freakinxawesome haha

[galesx95]

@HALOFREAK9715 I was about to say that, I guess I'm 2 months late :)

[w0lf458matt]

go to skrap yard me and my dad striped the old subaru that bloow up

[ARKOIA]

enjoyable video and thanks for posting. Years ago i purchased "jet engines for model aircraft" by Kurt schrecking. Inside are all the plans to build your own jet engine for RC use. Its one of my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.... cheers :-)

[Shipocute]

Awesome vid! Thanks for sharing your jet engine knowledge.

Hey, how much thrust does your engine have?

[freakinxawesome]

@Shipocute well it doesn't have any quite yet because it's still under construction, but I'm hoping for around 60 lbs of thrust. which may not sound like much, but it should be enough to get a small go kart up to 50mph or higher

[Shipocute]

@freakinxawesome That's good! is your engine suitable for model rc planes? I'm thinking to build one but I'm a newbie to this jet tech. Anyways, that was an awesome demonstration of your engine.

[YoungMaqler]

will jet engine work in space?

[Shipocute]

@YoungMaqler No. Because the jet engine needs highly compressed air to operate.

In outer space there is no air and the jet engines feed on air so it won't work. So as higher the altitude the plane goes the thinner the air it gets and if the plane exceeds it, there is likely that engine will start to fail. That's why the rockets don't have air intakes in their engines. Their main source fuel and oxygen is already stored inside the rocket.

[freakinxawesome]

@YoungMaqler Unless you were to feed it oxygen in the intake section as well as introduce fuel in the combustor, then it won't work in space because it does require air.

[lofty8226]

what qualifacations do you need to get in to the air force doing your job

[freakinxawesome]

@lofty8226 Well they'd like you to score at least a 50 on the ASVAB. They'll do a criminal background check on you. you have to be in pretty good physical shape. Having at least 45 college credits helps cause you can enlist as a higher rank. But overall, there aren't too many hardcore qualifications. You just have to be sure that its what you want to do. and be patient, enlisting can be a long process and don't settle for any job, wait for the one you absolutely want to open up.

[mvlady]

next time turn down the music volume and turn up the talking volume

[militantmindset]

music to loud!!! good vid

[usmangwdc]

Thank you so much for such fine explanation, I am a beginner in making of a turbo engine that would support my future project.... thank you so much once again....

[cruddbucket]

Jarrod, that turbocharger is MASSIVE! good on ya mate. Looking forward to further videos.

[LostAngel01234]

THANKS SO MUCH!!!

[ShellRyland]

This is a great video. Watching with a big grin!!

[2004acurarsx]

please im waiting on part 2..:-)

[freakinxawesome]

@2004acurarsx I'm editing it as I type, so it should be up in a day or so. :D

[2004acurarsx]

@freakinxawesome yeaaaaaa

[ICOM2957]

Good stuff.

Hint;

Get rid of the music while your speaking. It is hard to hear you.

[freakinxawesome]

@ICOM2957 Thanks, I'll give that a try next time. I just didn't want it to be as boring when I'm talking.
