Combustor Liners 2 - Turbine Engines : A Closer Look

[JayJr2007]

Great stuff.

[LarryCanFly]

It took me about a year to figure this out from 1993 to 1994 (pre-internet). I used a coffee can for a liner, Folgers.

You Are a Fantastic Teacher!

Thank You!

[bmsabry]

Thanks. Great Vid

Your videos single handily are the #1 resource on the entire internet for how jet engines work from a non mathematical standpoint. You have done the world a great service.

Nice video of flame tubes :)

[AgentJayZ]

@FrontSideBus Gaaaack !! That's Rolls Royce terminology !

It's Ok, sometimes I also drive on the left side of the road.. :)

[FrontSideBus]

@AgentJayZ LOL! Fantastic videos mate, keep up the good work. :)

[sharrynuk]

Great video. I didn't know any of this before - I figured they were just flameholders. This better explains what those big heavy parts are doing in there.

Have you guys had a chance to do anything on the Iroquois lately?

[AgentJayZ]

@sharrynuk We are worshipping its greatness, but are spending all of our shop time completing customer's work orders...

[TheElectricnoob]

Are you actually allowed to shoot video in locations you call "secret" and containing "classified material" ?

[AgentJayZ]

@TheElectricnoob This is an issue that is not open to public discussion. Thank you for your interest in our products. Please pay no attention to any grey, windowless vans parked on your street.

I blame on the extremely simplified illustrations about how jet engines work, sometimed embellished to extreme levels to appear as actual engine cutouts. Most turbo/fanjet animations on youtube omit such details of low importance as guide vanes, stators, combustor liners, bearings; in fact, often the entire inner structure except for the shaft(s) and rotors.

Hey Jay, Nice to see you making vids again. This could be very useful for people planning to build a jet engine from a turbo - Spend 10 minutes on here and you'll find at least a dozen vids of home made engines ready melt or explode due to bad CC design.

[matube73]

Excellent description. As always. Keep them vids coming. Cheers.

[xXSup399Xx]

very cool, i love watching your vids and learning about jet engines, keep up the awesome work :D

[mykhaledi]

And thanks for posting this video. Can the turbines you work on be classified as aeroderivatives? Why?

[XTwina]

Finally someone who tells them whats up with the combustor, im sick of those beer can "jet engines". I for my part have to say, the liners are maybe the most important part of a jet engine, it took me 3 different combustor liners before my engine got down to an acceptable Temperature level.

One important thing to add might be, that the liner not only cools the flame, but it holds it in place, without the liner the fuel would burn behind the exhaust nozzle of the engine what would be... pointless

[AgentJayZ]

@XTwina Yeah.. I thought I covered that, but it was a bit quick. Every time you and the other guys notice a detail like that... it makes me try harder. :)

[XTwina]

@AgentJayZ good :D It seems,that there is a lot o demand on basic information about turbines, but do you plan to make more closer videos about things you cant find anywhere ele on the web ? Dont get me wrong, those videos are great, but you have access to the most awesome technology and the people ask for stuff thats explained on wikipedia? Thats wired ^-^

cheers XT
