  • IT FARTS IT A JOKE AND STORMS RAIN WINDS DEATH

  • so basically suck squeeze bang blow

  • One question that I have and would appreciate if someone could answer for me....what is the major difference of having a turbojet and a turboprop?? Other than speed?

  • @gmt2183 Fuel consumption would be much less in a turbo prop and efficiency would be high, because of the high bypass ratio. Most of the thrust is generated by sucking a high mass of air and just pushing it back without burning any fuel. But the disadvantage is that unlike turbojet, size of a turbo prob would be huge and it will create a lot of noise as the propeller is not shielded inside a nacelle.

  • Is James May the narrator?

  • I still dont get how this sorcery works. Its probably something with magnets.

  • could you connect the front blades that take in air with the back turbine so the rotation to take in so works to spin turbine.... less fuel

  • Perfect. Now I look forward for an explanation of the Jet Engine manufacturing process..

  • its very easy to understand.=)

  • Greatly presented.. Keep posting more stuff.. Thanks a lot!!

  • Awesome video sir!! :) but resolution :(

  • my drim going to spaces you interyesded

  • HOW DOES THEY START THE SUCKING

  • proud to have Rolls Royce as a british company

  • German invention, just like everything else :)

  • Hey, can you tell me how jet engines are able to work in conditions such as flying through rain? I have always wondered how they are able to work in wet conditions.

  • JET ENGINES IN CARS.......NOW!!!!!

  • It's impossible that man made something like jet engine. That means it must be made by god. People just probably find it on a field or somewhere else many thousands years ago or something.

  • @neverrime hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahaahhahahaha­hahhahahahahahhahahahahhahahha­hahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahh­ahahahahhahahahahhahahahahhaha­hahhahahhahahahhhahahahhahahah­hahahhahahahhahhahahahahhahaha­hahaha

  • Great video

  • So wait, the air rushing from the combustion chamber to the turbine helps power the compressor as well as giving the plane thrust?

  • @Ahha794 Yep, the air rushing from the combustion chamber through the turbine, drives the compressor via a shaft. This is why, to start a jet engine, you must pre-spin the engine, using the aircraft's APU or a ground starter, to spin the combuster enough allow it to suck in enough air to allow combustion in the combustion chamber.

  • Vaginal childbirth is a suggestion here??...really??...with all this tech stuff??

    Well, okay...I guess you can't know too much. Always room to learn something, right??

  • Extremely useful - thanks!

  • what would the effects be if you added propane to compressed air in a metal container and ignited the exhaust valve of this mixture. I have been looking at water rocket and sawa asian guy lauched over 20 ft and have thought abotu ways of launching a glider or huma powered aircraft

  • Something effective is usually from a simple idea.

  • how does the combustion sustain? is there any flame folders, spark plugs or just the compression is enough?

  • @omerta410 there is an igniter that operates during the start sequence, the flame is self sustaining after start.

  • ignition in a jet engine is sustain by an electric arc made by a glowplug or sparkplug called ether way just

    like the ones you find in home heating furnaces and car engine but bigger and also bigger hotter the arc

  • nice way....and yeah y wud a person studying about jet  b interested in child birth later ??

  • @TheUsernamesucks i just noticed the video on the side haha

  • thanks allot , anyone can tell me where to find the full video ?

  • wow.... so cool

  • Kind of like an alternator lol.

  • Hello community, as an engineer I've been thinking of starting my own page regarding how things work, meant to explain questions people have. I'll try to post regularly, and if people want something explained so it makes sense, send me a request. I'm a mechanical engineer, and love the automotive world.

    This was an excellent video, good information.

  • i find this video hard to masturbate to.... *sigh* :(

  • reminds me of bacterial flagellum, everything looks so mechanical

  • WHAT IN THE WORLD DOES VAGINAL CHILDBIRTH HAVE TO DO WITH A JET ENGINE?? LOL!!!

    How did they come up on youtube with the suggestion at right..that someone seeking jet engines was also somehow intrested in that subject??

  • Exhaust cone is big at the start and tapers to nothing. The area inside the exhaust, increases, and it slows the air flow for noise abatement. The exhaust structure is called the "common nozzle" because it mixes the cold bypass air with the hot turbine air. For noise abatement. It is OK to cool and slow the exhaust air in order to quiet it down, because most of the thrust of a modern turbo-fan engine is produced by N1. N1 refers to the fan blades you see at the very front of the engine.

  • He mentioned the exhaust nozzle. The exhaust nozzle is very important for how it handles the exhaust stream and it's noise abatement qualities. People look at the exhaust nozzle and assume that it converges and excellerates the exhaust. But even though it converges, the exhaust stream actually diverges and slows. This is due to the shape of the exhaust cone. Exhaust cone is big at the start and tapers to nothing. The area inside the exhaust, increases and slows the air flow. For noise abatement.

  • Don't listen to the narrator, it isn't simple at all. LOTS of men have died finding the faults with the prototype and early jet engine designs which has led to the remarkably reliable turbo-fan engines in use today. Today's jet engines are made of space age materials and controlled by advanced digital and analog computer technology. The airframe is on a maintenance plan and the engines are in a WHOLE other world. They are looked at seperately and more closely and sometimes in real time.

  • shorter and stiffer....lol not always a good thing

  • 9:00 Does that also cool it?

  • "Re-heat" Is that also known as "afterburner"?

  • @Drake14161337 I believe that is indeed what it is called in modern fighter jet aircraft

  • @Drake14161337 yes that is precisely what it is :)

  • @Drake14161337 An Afterburner is when you dump more fuel into already combusted air and light it up again with no new fresh air, which makes it an Afterburner. so yeah, I guess its the same thing! Damn engineers gave it many names probably to confuse us (kidin) ... and it worked :)

  • @Drake14161337 yes, you are right.

  • Is this James May Commentating?

  • Isnt diesel the best fuel for such type of an engine?

  • @leodevil240mph Most modern jet engines use Jp8. which is a mix of kerosene and gasoline.

  • amazing video !

  • It's helpful to me.

    Thank you.

  • 5* viseo

  • re heat is after burn

  • Okay I have a question then about this: mil. jets like the F22 have turbofan engines. These engines are streamlined (much smaller cross section than jetliner engines) and are used for supersonic flight. But this vid just said that's what turbo jets are for, not turbofans. Can anyone clarify this? Thanks.

  • @Graywolf116 The video is right, modern fighter jets prefer the greater economy and lower Infrared exhaust of a turbo fan engine rather than the greater performance of a turbo jet configuration.

  • A very interesting video.

    i didn`t know nothing about jet engines until yesterday.

    Initially the operations includes don´t appears so complicated.

    But i supose the maintenance of the equipment and all the devices are expensive and delicate.

  • Can hydrogen burn and explode water vapor in the combustion chamber? 

  • @beancube2010 Almost certainly. You would probably need a different turbine stage as hydrogen produces very 'fast' gases after combustion.

    The real question really is why would you'd want to burn hydrogen, it's an awful chemical fuel source.

  • how awesome are humans to have created such a machine?!!!!!

  • gosu ;;

  • :D nice

  • GERMAN TECH FTW

  • @logelamutp 2nd time I've read this in a week, where are people getting this idea that the Germans or a German invented jet engines? Is it the Me-262?

  • @CmdrTobs

    yeah

  • you did a great job excellent

    

  • Wow. Our technology is so simple.

  • really excellent one

  • Excellent video

  • wait then wat spins the compressor things im confused

  • I wonder why the energy used by the turbine doesn't make the compressor obsolete. The energy put into the air by the compressor should be the same amount as the turbine uses from the air stream. I know it works but I wonder where's my error! Hope someone can tell me

  • @assailant85 Fuel mixed with the compressed air is what makes up for the energy the turbine uses. Once you add fuel to air that highly compressed, it explodes and releases more energy than would be possible by igniting the fuel at regular atmospheric pressures. The expansion of those exploded gasses is channeled to drive the turbine and propel the engine by thrust and the cycle keeps continuing. Hope that helps some. :)

  • @gonzo5648 hmm...it's obviously correct what you say but it sounds a bit like a perpetuum mobile. the turbine creates more pressure thus more thrust. this thrust turns the turbine even faster -> more pressure -> more thrust and so on... Somehow there's something missing for me. You know what I mean?

    I don't understand how the potential energy created by the turbine (through higher pressure) can be higher than the energy the turbine is consuming.

  • @assailant85 I get what you're saying. I'm no physicist but it seems to me it has to do with harnessing expansion ratios and channeling them. Look up some videos or read about how diesel engines work. That might give you an idea of how highly compressed gas PLUS fuel creates energy. Diesel engines and jet engines both use the idea of compressing air to explode fuel so that may help.

  • @assailant85 well because the energy is not created by the turbine... its created by the explosion of the mixture (fuel in a proportion with oxygen) this explosion releases thermal energy that is way more than the energy produced from the turbine...

  • @Emeengor hmmm yeah, sure, but the energy in the same amount of fuel remains the same. the bigger energy results from the compression of the turbine, not from more fuel or oxygen.

  • @assailant85 no listen for example in order to have compressed air like 15 times more than normal you need lets say 100 J of energy (just a number for the example) but the energy that gets release from the explosion is like 700J most of it doednt get to be used as work...

    in other words the compression doesnt "create" energy it just makes the conditions that we need to create energy to happen. the explosion creates energy.

  • @Emeengor oh, I think now I get what you mean!

    let's see if I understand correctly:

    the potential energy in the fuel/air mix is let's say 100J, without compression only 20J is set free, with compression 90J is set free. For the compression you need only 10J which is set free again as 10 of the 90J set free completely. correct?

  • British invention

  • Comment removed

  • 2:27: Start her up Scotty!

  • Those reverse thrust flaps at 7:45 remind me of those aliens that sigorney weaver blasted in the alien flicks.

  • Famous easy to remember quote from A&P Teacher on what happens in a jet engine: SUCK, SQUEEZE, BANG, BLOW.

  • @perfectpilot1

    same applies to a car

    suck in fuel and air to the cylinders.... squeeze with the pistons... bang with the spark plug.. blow exhaust gas

  • @perfectpilot1 not just jet engines..

    

  • @perfectpilot1 how I like to spend my friday nights

  • @perfectpilot1

    Just like a good weekend with the missus.

    That's for any engine aswell xP

  • @perfectpilot1 Are you sure that was from your Teacher? I see that on every porn video and IN THAT ORDER!

  • @dlite922 yes i am sure, and thanks for your confession too :)

  • @perfectpilot1 hi sure your indin what is

    you driem

  • @perfectpilot1 Are we talking about a cheap date or a jet engine??

  • Really great explanation!!

  • When using reverse trust, is it possible to get a surge in the engine jet? Meaning that the hot air returns back in the engine and damaging the engine. Surge is big risk for jet engines.

  • Suck Bang Blow

  • ask Henri Coanda ;)

  • This

  • It's the relentless cycle of Suck, Squeeze, Bang and Blow. Simple as that!!!

  • Awesome video! Thanks for posting this.

  • after it is started it needs no ignition, it becomes self sustained

  • What thing ignites the fuel there in the combustion chamber? Can you please explain? Is it just the high compression of the air or something like spark plugs in a petrol IC engine? I am an automobile engineering student and i am very much interested in different types of engines. I really found this video very helpful. I now know more than most of the people around me, thanks to the video.

  • Die beste Erklärung einer Gasturbine die ich bis jetzt auf Youtube finden konnte.

  • why can't they put a detailed animated explination in less than 2 minutes???

  • @rmccracking Because that would never work. Is your attention span REALLY that bad?

  • @dctim because i have to break it up in 3 pieces for a project

  • solid beginner information video.

  • Weird, I don't remember seeing the thrust reversers in use before. Glad they showed that.

  • I understand everything but get a little stuck when it comes to the rotor and stator blades. I don't see where the stator blades are and would kind of prefer a better explanation on how this compresses the air.

  • @LittleBigFran The amount of air that the compressor can take is determinate by the air inlet duct.You can see that the stages are big at the beginning and getting smaller at the end of the compressor.So as the same amount of air is passing through the stages and the space is getting smaller the air pressure is getting higher.

    (a row of rotor+stator blades=stage)Hope this helps

  • i need subtitle..

  • now we need a video for bladeless jet engines...

  • What does he say at 3:28-3:29. "Each with a separate....." ??? If you understand, pleace answer to this comment :)

  • @triko125 They have seperate shafts so that they can rotate seperatly

  • Yes, but does it blend? that is the question

  • Burritos work well too

  • @azoj9 i dont no where ur getting ur info from but the turbojet was developed by Sir Frank Whittle, a British. Also credit is given to Hans von Ohain, a German. Now of course no one denies that none of this could be possible without the first ever aircraft flight which was done in 1903 by the Wright brothers, Americans

  • I'm so proud to be Canadian! None other country in the world hates canadian's except for Americans.

  • @SpaceMarine1986 Americans don't hate Canadians... It's just the country is kinda fun to poke fun at. Why? The country is so much like America, relatively new, no long epic history stretching thousands of years... And yet wasn't a key player in WWII, Vietnam, WWI, etc. (Though I do realize Canada was present)

    I guess really it's just because Canadians have the appearance of being nice which makes the country look mostly harmless, somehow making it fun to poke fun at.

    I mean, the flag is a leaf!

  • @Eagle1Division2 And we canadians often imagine americans as being overweight, uneducated and having very dangerous gun laws.

  • @nOObsBePwnd lol, that's Alabama.

    But I wasn't saying it's good or right to generalize people of a country, you really shouldn't since, generally speaking, people are mostly the same. As for the gun laws, it's written into our very constitution and is one of America's sacred freedoms. You see, the idea is that the government must be ruled by the people, and must fear the people: "Power to the people". And when push comes to shove, the people have to be able to stand. So we have guns.

  • @Eagle1Division2 That doesn't change the fact that there are more violent murders, often connected to racism, in the united states, often which are written off as "self defense" and the murderer is not jailed. In my opinion, all countries should have gun laws like japan. You will notice that basically nobody gets shot there, ever, because guns are restricted.

  • @nOObsBePwnd You're ignoring culture and socio-economic environment and looking only at gun laws. That doesn't work. Let's stay on Western nations with similar culture and economic situation.

    Here's a quote fer ya:

    "However, the homicide rate in handgun-banning Luxembourg is much higher than in the others: 2.1 per 100,000 population, versus 1.2 and 1.1 per 100,000 for "handgun-ridden" Israel and Switzerland--which have the lowest homicide rates of all."

    Despite the fact Israel is the target of

  • The vast majority of Middle-Eastern countries, and has a huge terror rate. Fact is allowing people to carry concealed weapons allows them to defend themselves, and make criminals more scared to attack someone that they know can fight back.

    Look at college campuses, for instance. Great places for huge multi-murder shootouts because nobody can carry guns! Or the relatively recent shootout in India which lasted days because nobody could fight back!

  • @Eagle1Division2 What does this thread have to do with how jet engines work?

  • @nOObsBePwnd Anyways, I think it's sick that most countries have gun regulations in these days. Throughout all of history, whenever people have the right to arm themselves, they are free. It is peasants, slaves and oppressed classes only who don't have a right to arm/protect themselves, through all of history that's true. It's the first and most important step to ruling any nation with tyranny, ask the ancient Chinese, Soviet Union, or Nazi Germany.

  • @Eagle1Division2 Countries have gun regulations so people don't go murder innocent people, or steal, rape, or threaten other people. If you want a revolution, you will find the guns illegally. And regardless, most of the successful revolutions in the past 50 years have been largely nonviolent. (india, egypt, tunisia, The United Soviet Socialist Republic)

  • @nOObsBePwnd How do gun regulations stop that? Guns don't kill people, people kill people. Guns are just something people use to do it. Sure, criminals will always have guns, you're right, but that only means that innocent people won't be able to defend themselves against criminals in shootouts OR a bad government. That point works AGAINST banning guns.

    And those revolutions only worked because those were weak dictators and didn't attack the protesters. In most nations, they would have.

  • @Eagle1Division2 actualy, those revolutions worked because the army didnt want to shoot its citizens, many of which were most likely friends or family of the soldiers. Mubarak ordered everyone to be shot, but the army didn't fire a shot. People were shot in india, many of them, but never once did they fire back. and they still won.

  • Why don't people seem to understand that

    #1) None of these shootouts would happen if people had guns, that guns don't cause crime (They don't whisper "kill kill kill" into your ear), in fact they'd probably scare criminals from doing crime

    #2) Gun laws are not even a question because owning guns is a constitutional right that is the foundation for Freedom as it's known in America, and

    #3) that gun laws only stop LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS from carrying guns, criminals and rulers can still find them.

  • Great video, breaks down all the basic to more advanced staged of this. I have been wanting to get into RC modle Jets and learning how this all works helps alot. Thanks. IC.

  • I understand better listening to a british voice... screw god damn dirty arse americans..

  • thanks for posting. i had an engine report in science and i chose to do jet engines. this video provided me with so much information. Thank you.

  • @ShootAllQueers - Fuel is deliverd in a fine spray into the combustion chamber where it mixes with air delivered from the compresor. The mix is lit during the engine start cycle by two igniter plugs, the plugs are then de-energised once the engine is running, the flame then stays lit as its being constantly supplied with fuel.

    @lilladojon - Not quite, fighter aircraft use low bypass turbofans, turbo jets are rarely used these days.

  • i dont get how the gas lights up? if its cold air.. and i didnt hear shit about a sparkplug xD

  • @ShootAllQueers its basically a diesel engine, high pressure and fuel auto ignite in the combustion chamber at a specific pressure and temp, pressure is created by the intake blades.

  • @ShootAllQueers highpressure can ignite fuel?!

  • @ShootAllQueers Yes, because compressing the air makes its temperature rise. But jet engines use igniters to light the fuel because their isn't enough pressure during the startup sequence for the fuel to auto ignite. Once the engine is lit though, the air coming out of the compressor can reach 1000 degrees before it even combusts.

  • @jetengine7  crazzyyyy, seems so simple yet so powerful

  • @ShootAllQueers Thermodynamics 101 when you compress a gas in this case air it gets hot

    the more you compress it the hotter it gets

    when you DEcompress a gas it gets colder

  • @Elios0000 unless volume changes...

  • @ShootAllQueers if you think thats nuts look up how a pulse jet and ram jet work these were the first jet engines ever

    in the case of a ramjet there are NO moving parts and compression is done with airspeed alone

  • Most commercial aircrafts start their engines using pressurized air, not electrics. The APU have an electric starter and when it's running it supplies air to the main engine starters.

    Fighter jets use turbojets not turbofans, because of the size.

  • Comment removed

  • So, I'm just wondering, why is it the morden jet fighters use turbofans not turboject?

  • @s87343jim Because turbofans are more efficient than turbojets. They produce more thrust and use less fuel than an equal diameter tubojet engine.

  • @jetengine7 Except at high speeds.

  • 43 people prefer the flux capacitor

  • 43 people think jets are from the devil

  • how do turbines spin in the start of the engine?

  • @xarlz159 I really need to know too!!!

  • @zalux you could power them electrically at the start like the car. I believe airplanes have a rather big electric generator that could provide the starter kick. Hope it helps :)

  • @xarlz159

    Great question xarlz159! it actually starts with an electric starter motor. Before the invention of jet engines it was manually started with a crank for the propellor but now it is primarily starter engines that do it.

  • humans are genius's, well, not all of us!

  • ah man.. i wana see more!

  • cavity search at 2:23

  • good explanation !

  • sera que alguem pode colocar legenda em portugues nesse video e manda pra mim?

  • my 3 year old son want to fix air planes so i let him watch this

  • Please watch:

    World's Greatest Amount of Compression Ratio Engine

  • It's starts fundamentally and then elaborates. Great explanation

  • perfect !

  • this is good

  • goooooooooooooooooooog

  • i like the jets that we have now than the old jets back then.

  • Why hasn’t anyone managed to build jet engines on a car in suitable and practical way so cars can fly to? Do I really have to do it myself?

  • @destan013 GM did in the fifties and the m1a1 abrams tank runs on a turbine that can run on any combustible liquid

  • thanks for the vid very informative I am now about 100% shore that jet engines are in the past

  • Wow!!! very good explanation, Turbine engines are undisputed!!! No 2 stroke or 4 stroke machines can match....I heard about English and Germans about inventions of this engines, but not Japanese!!! Japanese are the most intelligent pple, I think they too have played a bigger role in these engines.

  • @MrSaqib140 I often work in Japan and have at times had Japanese people working for me. Although I agree that Japan has some very intelligent people I have to tell you that most are nor very intelligent. I have informed my employeer that I will refuse to use any Japanese people on my jobs in the future due to the average Japanese worker to be not very intelligent.
