Turbofan 1

We take a look at the fan section of a 747 engine, and find out what makes a turbofan different than a turbojet.

This is some of the greatest information I have found on turbines. Can't really find this kind of info anywhere else nowadays! Thanks Walter!

@343jonny Are you thinking I'm Walter? ?

... 'cause he's not gonna like that.

[ipadize]

IS THAT YOURS?!?

[AgentJayZ]

@ipadize Yeh... you should watch the most recent videos...

[LeVonDanE]

If you took it apart and sold it as scrap metal, how much do you think you could get? Do you guys ever do that?

[AgentJayZ]

@LeVonDanE Aircraft scrap goes for 20.00 a pound, last time I checked. This thing as almost five tons. No we don't do that, but places in Florida do.

Sure it's an older turbofan, but she's still a beautiful piece of engineering.

[DiamondPilotDan]

its a shame to see that sitting outside! id make it the centerpiece of my house.

Also, id you were in Florida, at 1:18 you'd be sticking your hand in a wasp nest

[ShalemariTV]

you should give it to me

[TheMan1510]

Your videos are really interesting. Thanks for posting them!

@slamdvw i always thought it was there so that you can see that the engine is running if you can't hear it .. like the yellow tips of props

[vacazul]

Beautfull.

[Pyanities]

(Perhaps it powered a DC-10 -10 Airliner?)

[Pyanities]

I Like your Explanations! Very Easy to Understand :)

@slamdvw It's just to clearly indicate to ground crew that the engine is turning.

[AgentJayZ]

@slamdvw I think it is intended to scare birds away. They don't ever seem to make it through the fan in one piece.

[slamdvw]

What is the spiral design on the cone? Seem to see that a lot on turbofan engines. Good vids by the way!

[Rick52live]

Thx for the vid!! very nice vid!

[kayarad]

@AgentJayZ O_o wOow but yea hehe i was just curios, but wow 5 tons and yea "then what", so yea thx for your time and effort on explaining me bout how u get them and how important it is to take care of it or how delicate it is just to move it from an airplane and then "taking it to my house" lol and then not knowing what to do with it :D

[AgentJayZ]

@thegraffitimonkey You could find one of these at an aircraft boneyard in Arizona for less than what the one on Ebay is going for.

But, the thing weighs about 5 tons, and is very delicate and easy to damage.

removing it from the aircraft and moving it to your house without damaging it is a very big job for a crew of people with specialized experience..... then what?

I would suggest trying to obtain a smaller engine.

[thegraffitimonkey]

@AgentJayZ o0o0hh i see and DAYUM over a million just to bring it back to life, and do you guys sell them and bout how much would you ask for it (BTW im just a kid so im not trying to buy one just curios, but that would be AWESOME!! if my parents would just buy me one hehe)
