Turbo charger Jet Engines have long been considered one of the holy grails of backyard engineering. This is with good reason – they’re hard to build, and even harder to run. Many a turbo has ...

This article explains the basics of automobile and jet engine power and how they may be loosely compared, as highlighted by KLM. A piston engine works based on energy transfer from the crankshaft ...

Cue the development of the 3D printed water jet engine (YouTube link, embedded below). The basic principle of operation is simple. Water is sucked through an inlet, where it is accelerated by a ...

Jet engines are relatively simple in their basic design, but advancements in gas turbine engine technology have mostly done away with the cool-looking bucket-type reverse thrust systems.
