We disassemble a fuel pump from an Orenda type14 turbojet, which is the engine from a Canadair Sabre 6.

  • 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.

  • @117nathanmyers you're ready to watch the next video now... it's the one I uploaded Nov 28

  • Any chance of doing a video in front of the whiteboard?

  • @tranceaddict704 When the opportunity arises, I'll get on it.

  • 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.

  • 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).
