can you please give me the plans to this experiment jet engine

[19wael96]

Sorry I have no plans for this one .

[EpicRickJamesTime]

If I had a dollar for every pixel in your video I would have one dollar.

[ahm3s]

@19wael96 you really have no idea how jet engines work do you?

[turtlemann14]

funny part is that if you have a better combustion and a much more balanced fan this would actually work lol

[chair5432]

GE shareholders pay attention

[chair5432]

It was spinning in the wrong direction...ROFL

[barkingagain]

Im thinking a small wire alongside the fuel line then the Line. As earth n the fan has a motor

@PrdnJack "Trower????"

[myryonspoof]

@EpicRickJamesTime i'd have fifty cents

[slurp812]

@EpicRickJamesTime at least a dollar fifty!

[PrdnJack]

Sorry, but that is just flame trower.

@Cowcharge That's what I thought at first...but then I thought it wasn't. Sorry about that. =/

[Cowcharge]

@NitroJunkie626 It was a joke...

[NitroJunkie626]

@Cowcharge What are you talking about? A soup can turbine wouldn't even get the plane off the ground, it doesn't produce any thrust. And even if it did, it wouldn't be enough to move a 500 ton airliner.

[Cowcharge]

@NitroJunkie626 "Hey Captain, you're only going from Salt Lake to San Fran, the engines probably won't melt off the wings in that short a flight."

[NitroJunkie626]

@Cowcharge Well, the melting is inevitable, but it is possible to run the engine several times before that happens. There's one here on youtube, that ran like 5 times before melting down, but when it was running...it looked really awesome!

[minibikerider1]

hey look a spinning rotor blowtorch

[Cowcharge]

Why do people keep trying to make jets out of soup cans? If they ever get one to run it'll melt.

[joker102877]

@19wael96 Haha, so fake. This is just a flame at the back while a blower, just out of frame right, blows the blade in the can. Sorry bub, I call shenanigans.

[PassivelyActive]

Fan does not equate to turbine. Try again.

[deltaxcd]

it need way bigger combustion chanber or else all burning happens outside and does nothing usefull

[kylechetcuti]

i need to know how to make a shaft for one of these things .. any help ?

[dinoalberini]

Is there an off screen fan blowing?

[weirdbikes]

@edomalley1 Don't forget only a diesel uses compression ignition (which is really controlled by the injection pump), a petrol or gasoline engine uses spark ignition, my model jets use sparks, a sterling engine uses heat exchange, a steam engine uses pressure.

My jets have no compression when the spark ignites the gas to create a flame (something all heat engines need) but they can also be started by a flame, now i'm confused...

[samoht1977]

This is a "turbo flame thrower", not a "juice can turbine"...

[TAPriceCTR]

as a mechanical engineering major I could not even see how it got enough torque to sustain itself (let alone generate anything usable) until someone mentioned a fan off screen.

[wondledonkey]

There's no compression. I don't know what you'd call a "jet" without an air compressing section... a fan?
