Interestingly, this type of jet engine has been built on a larger scale. It is actually called a motorjet or thermojet. Experimental versions used a piston engine to power a compressor, which compressed incoming air. Fuel was added and burned. And the exhaust was accelerated through a nozzle to generate thrust. But this engine was superseded by the turbojet. The primary reason for considering this engine in the early days of jet propulsion is that it avoided the need for a turbine back when superalloys that could handle the heat of combustion were in their infancy.

Should probably clarify in the video description that it's a mock jet engine and not meant to be a proper functional build. Still a neet project though.

Great little forced air burner. But shaping it like a jet does not make it a jet engine. Might be nice to use for toasting marshmallows though.

Sorry but this is just a mini stove. if it's not self-sustaining, it's not an "engine".

Me: *Tries to make compressed air* KZfaq: Homemade jet engine!!1!1!11!!

stop being so mean guys, it's not like he's creating an original jet engine.

@matthewstorm5188 yes you're correct but the way i see it i just think he made an edf (electric ducted fan) used in rc plane models and then he atached a pipe that injects fuel so its not a jet yet a edf that burns fuel

this is not a jet engine but it does show how after-burners work

Boeing Mechanic here, this is awesome man!

Thats a fancy looking blow torch not a jet engine!

This is the coolest thing I've seen in a long time! Job well done to the young man who created this!

Выглядит красиво, но нтхуя не работает 1 топливо не совершает никакой полезной работы и сгорает снаружи, это видно, камера сгорания должна быть длиньше. 2 сопло имеет только декоративный смысл и никак не увеличевает тягу 3 возможно это придирка, но двигатель должен раскручивать себя сам, с помощью работы газа, не должно быть никаких электромоторчиков. Он по факту собрал вентилятор с подогревом. Или зажигалку. Привет кстати с восьмого класса

Not a jet engine but interesting.

If you had a fan connected to the compressor fan and made use of the accelerating gasses coming out the back resulting into faster spinning of compressor fan then you’d have an engine. Right now you just have combustion with consistent but minimal thrust.

Great build, with your skill i think you could make a pulse jet engine out of tin can. No moving parts required

All the comments complaining about it not being a "real" jet engine, lighten up. Most of you likely couldn't even cook yourself dinner and would die of starvation if it wasn't for uber eats.

That thing you did with the compass to detach the end….I can’t do that without getting the chills

Almost😅 in a jet engine the exhaust gasses turn a turbine blade that is connected to the forward intake blade. The throttle is based on fuel input. You could use a t bone and slot connector to have a easy way to get it spinning with the electric motor in front. Then when you pull the starter motor away and it is self sustained it is a true jet. But what you have now is basically an electric ducted fan with neat after burner. Still a really nice proof of concept. Great work 🎉

no combustion chamber and there is only one turbine but thats not a turbine that is just edf with flamable gas coming aout behind but its a good demonstration for a model jet like edf good job

maybe mix fuel closer to the front so it combusts inside forcing air out not out side wasting energy

I think this Idea is usefull for blow torch or make high temperature foundry.

Cool but thats no jet.. edf with burner maybe... Gas powered hair dryer maybe..

coca cola company after watching this video will definitely start a jet making company

I think this would make for a better personal heater.

Instead butane gas what can i use Petrol Sanitizer Perfume Ethanol

Very clever but not a jet engine, its an electric motor driven blow torch, still impressive...

The single stage "compressor" (aka improvised fan disk) is only electrically driven making this closer to a blow torch than a jet engine.

How the heck did you balance those blades? How much thrust is it producing??

Nice project but that's not how a jet engine works!

Very great working principle The fuel I guess is not producing thrust due to low air intake nxt time use a more powerful and a big battery for more intake for a decent thrust output for the amount of fuel used

Turn the soda can 90 degrees, now you can grill some nice steak in your backyard.

This is a fan driven blow torch

How did you make the fire? Where is the fuel supply coming from??😊

You should probably place foil on the wooden pegs holding the motor or it would probably burn to a crisp (I don’t know much about this this is just my idea)

As a kid, I used to think I was pretty cool making little aircraft with wind driven propellers out of pop cans... I realize now, I'm just not cool anymore. 🤣

Make a great desk fan for your office.

This kid is the real Tony Stark. Making an engine with scrap metal. Genius. Make a arc reactor 😁

Making this in a cone instead of a can will produce thrust as it will actually compress the air

soda air force finna be wild

Gonna make a model fighter jet with this

Cant wait for integza to find this

I built one from a Pepsi can and used the Pepsi cola as fuel 😆. Going to start my jet engine company now, the Cola Engines Corp. 🤣🤣🤣

Random person: Whats your plane powered by? Me: can

Me encanta 👍👍👍 pero como emana fuego 🔥🔥🔥

Pretty cool. But technically it's more a compressed air intake blowtorch than a jet engine.

This is more like a propeller, but nice. Where do I get the parts?

Bro’s got surgeon hands 👏🏻 Even if I knew how to do it, my hands couldn’t be that precise and smooth.

Is. There actually thrust

It's just a fan blowing a flame. I hope this guy doesn't really think he made a engine.

такой штукой можно Xeon 2011 охлаждать)))

It’s just for show clearly not self sustaining but cool concept I guess…

If you remove power from the motor, does it sustain? If not, its no jet.. add more compressor wheels and a stator aling with a burn chamber with dilution holes..

On what stance you call this a jet engine?The Shape?

The real challenge though is : Would it fit a A380?

Enjoyed every seconds of the video 😍😍😍

Maybe add a combustion chamber section behind using a steel canister or something to cover the flame that won’t melt with a turbine on a shaft back to the “compressor”. Finish it off with another coke can for the exhaust shaped like in the video and you have an actual gas generator

intresting job. Well done

I’m gonna build this and make an airplane with it

So good new in build jet engine

❤ the burning .....American American

Should write a step-by-step guide. I would love to use this in my classroom for a project. However, I will have to modify it for more blades, an actual compression stage and combustion chamber, and make it a low-bypass turbofan.

this is Wakanda technology

That is very awesome!

Hahaha close but no cigar , but quite creative 👍

what was the cable thing you used before the combustion can you please enlighten me that part ?

Amazing

Aeronautical engineer : 👁️👄👁️

In 10 years bros gonna make a. "DIY" homemade rocket engine

Good 👍

Ingeniosa turbina..!! Se llevo su tiempo hacerla..!!

*Nice Room Heater!*

Make a entire model plane outta soda cans

This is very good video! Thank you for tutorial and explaining how jet engine works!

How are you givig fuel intake, please help

Amazing simple DIY jet engine bro!

This looks like a video from 10 years ago.

Long life and prosperity

Me saying while watching: Try to touch the fan with your finger!💀

More like blow torch but still cool! 😁

Cool ducted fan w/AB

What kind of glue is that

That's actually really cool, im planning on making my own jet engines so this was a cool model to see

Ini bukan jet engine ini cuma api yg ditiup oleh kipas kecil. Kalo prinsip ini digunakan pada mesin pesawat sebenarnya sampe kapanpun tdk akan pernah terbang

Don’t mind the negative comments, u did a great job 👏

*His hands are more stable than my chair* 💀

That's not a jetengine, its a blowtorch. Besides, the glue want even survive 10sec

Does this create thrust?

Could this music choice be any worse?

Вопрос: Как создать реактивный двигатель из банки. Ответ: ни как. Что видео нам и продемонстрировало

Pretty cool even tho it’s basicly just a makeshift afterburner that can’t close.

bhai op op op😀😀😀😀😀😀👍👍👍👍👍👍

What you use for fuel

WHO remembers how to make a 'soda can Cannon' using cans, tape, and lighter fluid ?

This is a "burner" the principle is the same like industrials ones uses in steam boilers for example

Wow.. kid.. if you are a kid.. you have a bright future ahead of you.😊😊😊

Bring your idea to General Electric and Rolls Royce...who knows.

Splendid...

🙄jet turbines spin from de combustion. this is just a fan and a pump...

This is more like a small flame thrower.

The solar pannels look different, are they ?
