See Thru Jet Engine

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.

Welcome to the 21st century, where geniuses casually put together jet turbines in their garage using the most amazing private tool array and broadcasting all of it for the world to see. What a time to be alive!

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!

That hit almost 130k RPM. That's incredible, and I'm surprised it stayed together through the testing.

My deepest respect for those four screws holding this little beast

I’ve been designing jet engines professionally for 32 years. Never seen inside one when it’s running. AWESOME!!

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. :)

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.

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...

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!

"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.

You showed even the engineering and behind the scene stuff which is generally skipped, that is crazy, huge respect!

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.

As a design engineer that mainly work on military propulsions working for GE, gotta say this is one of the coolest videos I've ever seen and I get to see the real thing in person. Now I want to build one in my basement

Seeing inside ANY kind of engine while it runs is a dream come true!

Who else is here for the jet sound!

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!!

Great job! I worked as an engineer at Pratt & Whitney for 24 years and found this video very interesting.

Chief fantastic video. No clickbait, informative, interesting, straight into it. This is exactly what YT content should be. Well done.

I love how one of the biggest technological advancements of the 20th century is now just a thing that people can build in their garage.
