I put together a small Jet Engine with a See Thru transparent housing to allow us to see inside of the jet engine while it's running, I explain the combustion process of the jet engine from the compressor to the turbine wheel and show visually how the see-thru Jet Engine Works.
I then film it in slow motion with the high-speed camera to get a better look at how the jet engine works but it wasn't such a big difference.
The amount of heat generated inside of the engine only a few millimeters from the outside cover was pretty impressive.
At the end I did inject fog into the intake of the jet engine to try and visualize the airflow into the engine and how the engine is ingesting air.

I've worked on aircraft and turbine engines for 30 years, and never thought I would see what one looks like on the inside running. Even just a basic one like yours is pretty neat.
Thanks, I wanted to start simple, but I absolutely need to do a multi-stage axial... No doubt. It's tough, this one has been 4 years in the making simply because I had to develop the material that I'm using here to make it possible, I also use that same material for all of my other see-through engines, but I haven't patented it because as you may know I need to release the recipe in that case, and the market is very small for this only for educational use. But then if it's publicly used and it fails for instance in a school or something like that, I could have a big problem on my hand. 😬

8 years ago Colin Furze made a working jet engine out of an old turbo, a loo roll holder, a toilet brush and some duct tape. I know it sounds like I'm quoting ironman but it actually happened and to this day it's still one of the best videos on KZhead.

Man really just said "So i built a jet engine in my backyard" An unfathomable amount of respect good sir, very interesting and well explained video to, all the questions i had you answered throughout the vid!
Thanks, I tried to cover everything.
You showed even the engineering and behind the scene stuff which is generally skipped, that is crazy, huge respect!
My deepest respect for those four screws holding this little beast
For real its the only think I was thinking about lol, if they failed this would have been a different video. Just Imagine that thing flying around

dude i was thinking the same thing!!
I’ve been designing jet engines professionally for 32 years. Never seen inside one when it’s running. AWESOME!!
❤️ as a fellow engineer, that's amazing to hear... Thanks!
If you ve never seen how it works inside how did you even design them ?
@@genekisayan6564 🤓 Your question is basically the definition of engineering. Design, analyze, build, test, repeat.
@@genekisayan6564 Scientists create theories, engineers bring them to life. You need to use your imagination! Mechanical engineering is more art than science, yet still needs to follow strict rules of logic. Otto created internal combustion engine without seeing through its walls, and so did Diesel with his engine.
@@lukem3250 pretty reductionist, mechanical engineering is 100% science. We've been building internal combustion engines for over 150 years.
As a helicopter pilot there's no sound more pleasing than the startup of a jet turbine. Having watched your video I can now truly grok what is happening in the engine in pre-start, initial ignition, complete ignition, and the spooling up as the cycle completes. Wow, just plain wow!! Thank you!! As someone has already said, you're a very talented machinist/engineer. As an A&P has said this is accurate and useful. And now you have it from someone who power up, injects air to start the cycle, introduces fuel to start the ignition, and enjoys the resulting power out the other side!! Also seeing the power come from the fuel and not massive amounts of air is a double-take worth its weight in gold. :)
Chief fantastic video. No clickbait, informative, interesting, straight into it. This is exactly what YT content should be. Well done.
I'm a 20 year Airline Captain.... every training class I've ever attended in my career falls well short of what this video teaches. to view the actually work inside is mind blowing. thank you for dedicating your time and resources to reach other. God Bless...
He can probably sell this as a training video $$$
To be fair, this isn't half as complicated as a commercial turbo jet engine and is at best able to show the most basic concept of function of this equivalent. But i agree that it's quite interesing to see the workings in this little thing.
You should probably find some better training classes then, because no matter how cool this is (which it is) it doesn’t really tell you much at all about the working of a jet engine.
@@cattnipp you really want to be the butt
As a recently retired engineer in the aerospace industry, I fully agree. To see the thermal performance of the combustion chamber was astonishing.
I flew jet airliners for over 12,000 hours since 1984 and of course never got to see a burner can in operation. Very nice craftsmanship building it. Thank you for a very informative video!
Thanks! I'm hoping to show more.
@@WarpedPerception liquid nitrogen is worth using as the 'combustible' as it does not cost much and myths about it not be energy rich enough persist.. but instead of fire generating heat you have to drastically disperse perhaps with room temp thermal superconducting materials or some sort fo nano structural vapor skin... when air is sucked in at great volumes it does get hot but can it provide enough heat to boil the nitrogen comparable to the work of compressing the air? I know it can be done because the extreme pressures the phase change generates make burning fuels incomparable. The challenge however is not overcooling air as I noted in other comment. It will condense water of course and that water is a good eject if sent out fast enough but creates inelasticity of course even expanding if toomuch mass is shed (any crystals formed transferring mass to heat of course right?) Or can you by agitating the water vapor sufficiently maintain it's mass despite it being cyrogenically cool? I doubt that!!! If you managed to do that the exhaust gasses would be icy literally and provide a ground effect maximising sought turbulence at backside of jet snow forming and those crystals being like parachutes to push off of a real brain riddle right! they would constrain atmosphere for sure! Exhaust gas crystals only happen when you boil not burn your 'fuel' a fuel our atmospher is mainly just preboiled like lithium batteries right? capable of being reboilable not just good enough for lettuce bags to turbo profits by displacing oxygen oxygen is not needed for jet engenies nor is water vapor a threat nothing boils nitorgen better then warm rain snow of course in freezing air would need a filter that prvents it from getting into nitrogen boiler parts of turbine however snow compressed does melt forming eject that again snows all this molten not just nitrogen around us but practically plasma already and we care about our bodies when judging it's value it's energy so hot!!! so capable of releasing potential energy of snapped nitrogen molecules by increasing there mass!!! Boiled nitrogen is heavy and superheated by sun it has plenty of bonus heat to increase i wonder what the ratio of nitrogen snapped at 40 degrees or say 5 degrees celsius free nitrogen is... how many grams of liquid can be melted by how many grams of free to mine air??? i feel so ignorant not knowing precisely and lacking the equations on my watch ocean surface howvering hypersonics have hot humidity always to work with so far less volume versus dry air is needed to boil and spin the turbine if spinning is even right the densnapping process we must have open minds for again the free molecule is heavier not lighter ice is lighter then liquid water not just by volume but atom duh it is nuclear energy that is released when atmoshpher nitrogen vapors shed heat into liquid nitrogen this nano process of seperativing the N's far enough do all the work we need done if only, if only the immense power of those forces can be harnessed. When heat turns into mass WATCH OUT this other side of nuclear is our greatest nastilly kept secret steampower was replaced by octane nonsense talk always corrupting is the song of jet fuel burning petroleum is to sell it duh with almost none of us owning any no a planet rich with heavy nitrogen for free omfg? or you got no courage? are afraid of texas or going kashogi? live man!

I'm impressed that the bypass air was enough to keep the case from burning. It was also neat to see the jet fuel burning with a blue flame through the openings at the higher power settings. It just goes to show how intense the combustion is.
theres no bypass though? this is a turbojet, not a turbofan
@@swagfish1996: not all of the air in a turbojet engine goes directly into the combustion chamber, some of it bypasses the primary stage and is introduced downstream to cool the engine and provide additional air for complete combustion. I think that's what the commenter above you was noticing. With that said, it's definitely not bypass air in the same sense as a turbofan engine, because it's all still going into a later part of the combustion chamber. But I suppose it could be seen as bypass air from a certain point of view. One thing I will say is that supersonic turbojets have bypass ducts because that's where the excess airflow from the intake goes at supersonic speeds... but none of that flow enters the engine core.
@@ErickCTo clarify; In a turbojet, air that bypasses the combustion chamber rejoins that flow before the turbine. This serves to moderate the temperature of the gas hitting the turbine so the turbine doesn’t overheat and fail. This is called “internal bypass”. Turbofans do this as well, but the difference with a turbofan is that they also have EXTERNAL bypass air. Most of the air coming off the fan bypasses the engine core completely and is only used for thrust.
Thank you all for the clarification on internal vs. external air. I didn't know the difference other than the air missed the combustion chamber.
Follow Jesus and you will not be ashamed.
5:49 That flexing demonstrated the internal pressures better than anything I've ever seen and thats after 20 years as an aviation professional with a masters in aviation and space sciences. Very well done!!
That movement doe.... Omg
Just curious; you say you’re an aviation professional with a masters in aviation and space sciences.. what does that mean? Are you a mechanical engineer? Aerospace engineer? What was your title
"masters"..LoL.
@@Macattack7 Hey Tony, Thanks for the question. My degree is non-technical which means I can't claim to be a scientist or engineer sadly. But during my undergrad work I still had to design a mathematical model of a jet engine, I used excel. Matlab wasn't a thing back then. Also had to get real familiar with things like GPS and GloNASS, aerodynamics, orbital equations etc. I am a pilot with with 2 certifications, private and unmanned. My grad degree was less technical. The first half of it focusing on airline operations, second half focusing on space exploration. As my thesis I researched and wrote a paper on ethical governance of space based resources and off planet colonies. Really it was just an excuse to research how a Mars colony would be governed. Work wise, its all been aviation. Started my career at a flight school, moved on to a high altitude research center where I conducted cabin pressure research for boeing to see if lowering the cabin altitude made for better pilots. A short stint in operations or KTUL, then on to aviation operations for a part 135 operator. Currently i teach drone law. Built and flown two aircraft, one of which was experimental (the better of the two I might add, lol). Been around jet engines my whole career, even got to fly a B-17 (not jet obviously) for a summer during airshow season, and at one stop flew it with Buzz Aldrin!!! A lot more experiences in the last 20+ years but those are the highlights. Sorry for the long reply, but thats what it means. Still mostly interested in space though. Its just really hard to get into unless you have the engineering title.

Great job! I worked as an engineer at Pratt & Whitney for 24 years and found this video very interesting.
Thank you... I love Pratt and Whitney
@@WarpedPerception Everybody loves P&W. "In Thrust We Trust". ( Except maybe GE! ) LoL!
question when the jet engine starts what keeps the blades spinning? is it spinning because of the vaccum of air coming in caused by air being pushed out of the back? i understand how the electric starter compresses air enough for the fuel air ratio to be right but my imagination is limited to my knowledge of car engines
@@mikerodix4800the turbine and compressor wheels are joined via a common shaft. if one spins then then the other will spin too.
Fun fact: I interviewed with P&W in Mass for a ceramic coating robotic programming job a few years ago. I aced the interview but turned the job down as it didn't pay enough and finding a place to live in that area was difficult.
"I'm glad it didn't blow apart." I got a pretty good chuckle there. As I was watching the thing spool up to over 100k I was thinking "this guy's five feet away from something that could end it all in less than a blink of an eye if it all went to poo". I respect somebody who's got that kind of confidence in their own abilities and can demonstrate it for our benefit. Well done.
When I noticed he was several feet away from the engine, I thought it was a bit of overkill… until I realized this wasn’t a toy engine (unlike another video I watched yesterday showing assembly of a Japanese turbofan engine kit made from metal parts). It may be small, but if something went wrong, you definitely wouldn’t want to be standing right next to it.
I'm a recently retired middle-school Science teacher. I've "known" how jet engines work for years...as much as one can "know " something from looking at drawings and photos. To be able to see the inside while it is in operation was just incredible. Thanks for making and sharing this vid. I wish I'd have had it while I was still teaching.
The issue is are you now ready to judge the Toshiba illustration video of using superconductor electric motor to spin turbine lol?

You are still teaching, please have no doubt about. A good teacher gets better whole his "local" life and beyond. You do remember your own tutors. I bet you did not stop learning from them even for now, and they will continue teaching your students along with you. It's not "a man gets smarter" it's Socrates and Archimedes have been in the class all this time. "I am a clever man on my own" - what a greate phrase for a comedyan:-)

Brilliant engineering and design work. I am a retired aerospace/electronic engineer mainly working with communications satellites at TRW, and can appreciate the demonstrated professionalism involved. Too bad I don't have YOUR tools for design work! CAD/CAM wasn't even thought of when I was in college. It was all done by pencil and pen on drafting tables. Kudos to you!

Very well done. I love those experiments. One can see the temperature distribution of the combustion chamber at several stages of the run up. Thank you !! One remark from me: dependend on the smoke or fog system you use the compressor heats up the visible parts of the fog so that the vaporize or in case of dry ice sublimate. So the flow after the compressor is hardly to be seen.
Thanks so much for this. My father designed jet turbines for General Electric from 1952 to 1990. He started when jet engines were primitive, prior to the high bypass turbofan, and retired at point when the technology had matured. In 1952 it was not uncommon for jet engines to--how do I put this delicately--explode. He has dozens of patents in his name, and is one of the relative few to be inducted into the GE Aviation Hall of Fame. One of his major projects was the TF-34, which powered military and civilian aircraft, but is probably best known as the powerplant for the A-10 Warthog. He is still with us, and I am going to show him your model. He'll get a kick out of it!
Wow dude, one the coolest aircraft of all time 😁😁
Please update us on his reaction to this.
Great story! He will probably never know his full contribution to this world, but obviously it was quite significant. A-10 Warthog one of my favorite planes! ✈

"Wheeww THAT'S HOT!" was a Eureka moment wasn't it?! When I flew in the Navy we didn't shut down our turbo shaft engines immediately but let them operate at ground idle for a short while for a brief cool down. This prevented the turbine blades from acquiring negative characteristics from a quick cooling off. Consider doing this on your small engine.
Yep you are absolutely correct, the only reason I shut it down to briefly like that was to finish off the scene, normally I let them cool down first for the exact reason you said. Thanks!
When I had a twin turbo Z years ago I would let it idle for a few minutes after a hard run to keep the oil from cooking inside the turbos.

Cool video. Loved it all including the drywall screws...lol The perfect fastener even for jet engine mounting.
I knew the fog would atomize in the engine and we wouldn't see it, it's the same with jet engines in clouds or rain. However I'd never have guessed that the plexiglass or glass see-through casing would not melt. I thought this would be on of those "fail" videos where the thing comes flying apart when the plexiglass melts. Great job on this.

Upon finding out that gas turbines are also jet engines, I watched this video. This gave me a full conceptual understanding of my class, especially at the beginning when you explained the four-stroke cycle in one cylinder. I highly appreciate it, thank you so much I was flunking out of my class but this got me an A!
I programmed, and operated an abrasive waterjet for 10 years in a jobshop/Machineshop. It never got old!
Wow. @5:49, I can actually see the metal base expanding at the bottom and top while giving it more power. The metal looks like it's actually stretching. That is something to see. Wow. That's a lot of power there.
This is way out of my league, and that's why it's so fascinating! I didn't even think that someone could build all of this at home...! You blew my mind.
It's so cool to see professionals excited about this. You could know how something works, worked on them, used them for decades...and still blows their minds to see inside it as its operating. Great video!
You’re a monster mate, brilliant experiment!!! I was holding my breath when you were testing as I thought the whole would blow up 😂😂😂
In awe of the talent to build this. Thanks for the chuckle when you touched it twice when hot. The only thing we have in common 😅. I’d have done the same. That’s where my engineering talent starts and ends.
Having 3 radio control turbine jets myself, (not ducted fans), this was incredible to finally see inside. It's like magic. I was taught that these were hybrid engines going from radial or centrifugal flow in to axial flow out. Really enjoyed your video!!!
Outstanding. I'm ex-RAF aircraft engineer so personally very at home with the technology here but... what a way to demonstrate a jet to the general public!! Excellent!
Always hats off when seeing your stuffs !
It is a great video, you have shown us what we have always been interested to see what is actually going on inside the jet. And Yes pls i'm so looking forward to your 2nd video. Good luck and keep us posted with your progress.
Been working with jet engines as a mechanic for 31 years and didnt think id see a see-through version. This is awesome!
As an engineering PhD that had worked on special purpose machines, I must admit that this is one of the coolest works that i have seen. I will be looking forward to the next video that includes the start up mechanism. You have just gained a subscribe. Thanks for sharing 👏🏾
The most impressive engineering thing I`ve ever seen , Incredibly awesome!
Hands down of the best engineering that I have ever seen, Please put part two together, I would love to see if possible how the fuel ignites inside the chamber, love it! Thank you for putting together all this fantastic material.
The fire part is all for show. Most commercial jets are utilizing “compressed air combustion for OVER 90% of thrust” according to the manufacturers animated video for explanation purposes. They ignorantly maintain the lie, as 50% of airfares are due to cost of fuel.
@@rickyrabs2582 Seeing that you have a saved flat earther playlist shows us everything we need to know. But don't listen to me, as a 'highly' trained aircraft fueler I'm in on the lie too!
Unfortunately don't think that's possible due to the heat and pressure inside the combustion chamber. It's a pretty cool process though. The fuel is sprayed into the engine, initially lit by igniters. Once it's self sustaining, the igniters shut off and the fuel continuously flows into the engine through a mist and keeps itself burning - just like a stovetop burner.
That is just awesome. Someone like you can build a jet engine in a garage and show it. Thank you for doing that. I finally get to see the inside workings of a jet engine. Just amazing!
@Julian -- No. You're absolutely fucking wrong
As a Jet engine mech on F111, F15E, F16, and U2R/S acft that was amazing. The mechanics who have worked teardown and buildup know what happens but in 20 plus years I never got to actually see the flame in a combustor... AB yes... core engine never. I was amazed by the raw numbers... over 90K RPM and over 1000 degrees EGT/TIT... so freaking cool
You are one gifted man. Impressive.
Far out! I'm so happy I stumbled on this video. Thank you! 😃
That is absolutely insane! I just love how the hot-spots move towards the exhaust side as it ramps up. Thanks for this amazing and unique content
That was one of the two interesting things that I noticed. It makes sense because the intake end of the combustion chamber is cooled by the incoming air, so temperature increases in the flow direction as combustion adds heat. The other interesting thing was the thermal expansion which the builder noted in the video.
As a science teacher, gearhead and friend of a couple engineers, I understood the basics. But this was so informative and interesting. I’m also amazed that one can basically build your own jet engine! Thanks
LOVE your content. Amazing. Hope it inspires some younger folks.
When they first built these things the position of the holes were just done by someone guessing where they would work the best. No real design, more a case of I'll try a hole here, and maybe there...they still worked and if the worked better it was incorporated into the design. I've seen turbines with different setups for internal vanes, some way different from the other. Thankyou for making that and publishing the result. Thats alot of work! Cheers
Back in the day...I was a Voodoo (RF-101) flight line mechanic working on the J57-13. The sound of your engine definitely brought back memories. Great work!
I've always wondered how a jet engine looks like when it's running and thought of someone to do a transparent one for demonstration. This video is the answer. Thanks, man. God bless!
I want a workroom like you have, its like a playground for adults❤ brilliant video and experiment too👍 thanks
This is really cool, makes you wonder what amount of pressure goes into a real life size model of the jet engine. Thanks for this experiment.
60 bar? For some reason lower than in a piston engine.
I've been a jet engine myself for over 31 years and never seen inside the combustion area once. Great work!
W h a t
Say what?
How did you become a jet engine? Was it a surgery or were you born like that?
@@XenonSCRB Well he creates a lot of hot air but you can thrust him as long as ther is enough fool.
How did it feel to be a jet engine?🤣🤣🤣
Extremely impressive skill level and engineering ability. I used to work with Rolls Royce engines and when he demonstrated the process of balancing the rotor it brought back a ton of good memories on the assembly floor. His equipment and knowledge of operation makes this video even more outstanding. A++
that's awesome. Opened my eyes and learned a lot
13 years working on F-16s and this sounded very familiar. Gr8 work @warpedperception 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Very cool and fun to watch! My two cents: the thermal expansion of the aluminum frame (the longitudinal pieces on top and on the bottom) is much higher than the glass case. So, as it heated it wanted to grown longer, and the glass did not nearly as much. That's why I think it separated somewhat pulling one of the gaskets with it. Probably some of the other 2500+ comments said the same. My fear was the glass shattering! Now, even if it did not this time, with multiple cycles on it, it still may so please continue to take all safety precautions with this engine.
Ohhh definitely, if that glass would one day break...while the jet turbine full in action.... as you said in video the combustion pressure will accelerate the broken glass pieces like shrapnels.....I imagine a horrible deadly accident. Lab style protection glasses won't be sufficiently in such case. Glass pieces are flying bullets then. UUUUU.....what a FKing horror would it be in such moment to stay 3 meters away with nothing in between. A TRANSPARENT PROTECTION PANEL LIKE THOSE USED IN LABS TO PROTECT SPECTATORS WHILE DOING CHEMICAL EXPERIMENTS..... LIFE SAVING. Might be the nxt video to make that glass BREAKING WHILE STAYING REMOTELY IN THE SAFE BUNKER. PS: DEADLY ACCIDENT HAPPENED WITH FLYING GLASS SHRAPNELS WHEN SOMEONE PUT ONE OF THESE LAVA WAX LAMPS IN A MICROWAVE.
@@ronscrypt2go499 I imagine a few hundred numb nuts who didn't read these comments are probably out there building/testing these engines while wearing only safety goggles for protection😳
There's no way that's any kind of glass. Unless it's laminate borosilicate. Glass likes to explode into lethal debris. With something like this, you want your failure mode to be phase transition, not rapid lattice decomposition.
@@scottrackley4457 True! His material seems to be a plexiglas or Lexan cylinder. These materials won't shatter, but with enough heat will weaken and reshape. Pretty amazing little demo !!!!
@@McGrumpus Yup. With all that expensive video equipment I'm sure he doesn't want that cylinder to have a SMEF
This was a REALLY impressive demo, and showing the step by step manufacturing process in your shop really made it 100% more interesting. You are a very talented engineer and machinist! Thanks for sharing this awesome video! 😊
Follow Jesus and you will not be ashamed.
@@enriqueamaya3883 Does he know how to make jet engines?
The amazing simple technology shared with us just now blows my mind. The marvelous things I can do with some of this! Offers days of entertainment. Thank you well done.
Very cool demo. I didn't know you could make a tiny jet engine. I thought they had to be massive. Now I'd like to see one actually in use, propelling a small vehicle or plane. I'll look on youtube.
I found this video very interesting. When I was in the Marine Corps from '79-'83, I worked rebuilding the main jet engine for the Harrier for 3 years, then the Gas Turbine Starter/Auxilary Power Unit for a year. I enjoyed working on them very much. The balancing of the fan and turbine was interesting. That was a good thing to show that, because I don't think some people understand how fast a jet engine fan and turbine roates. Great concept and great video.
As a long time mechanic working on four stroke engines I've always had a fascination with military jets and therefore jet engines. It's really cool to see what goes on inside one. I thought that there would more heat and flames going on outside and surrounding the combustion can because I always thought the compressed air went in the front of the can but now I see that the air from the compressor surrounds the the can and that mass of high pressure air surrounding the can forces the air into the combustion chamber from the outside through those holes in the can and also acts to contain the combustion to the interior of the can. Sometimes a visual approach to something conveys wat more then an text explanation or an animation. Great video.
That air entering into the can from the outside is known as dilution air and its function is to keep the can from melting. It keeps a layer of air flowing between the flame and the can housing otherwise it would straight away melt within minutes. It blew my mind when i read this. Just the sheer simplicity of this solution.
Man I love technical ppl like you, you're damn excellent :)
really insane how hot those things get
