That reminds me of taking the pressure washer apart :P
What pressure range do these typically output?
I know a lot of the more expensive pressure washers use ceramic liners on the pistons to avoid wear.
Some guys who cast metals at home look at burning waste oil. To produce a blue cone, I thought about forcing the waste oil through the orifice with a pressure washer, as the higher pressure should reduce droplet size to um - google for high pressure fog nozzles for an example (terrariums etc).

Hey, thanks for the name check - twice! Made my day.
I need to stop watching your videos and do my homework so I can get into a good college to get a good job designing/working on engines. Is there some kind of fuel regulator after the fuel pump but before injectors? If there is not how would one control if the engine is running too rich or lean? or can a gas turbine run rich or lean? Would this regulator also determine the throttle? If it doesn't have some kind of regulator how would it control the air fuel mix? Sorry for all the questions.

When they say it's a " geared " turbofan, what exactly does that mean? Forgive my ignorance

@tranceaddict704 The PW1000 is a new engine, but not a new design. The Garrett ( Allied Signal -> now Honeywell aerospace) TFE731 was a geared turbofan introduced in 1972. It's still flying today in thousands of aircraft.
