How Jet Engines Work! (Animation)

The first plane in the world that were driven by a jet engine is the Heinkel He 178. The air entered through the nose in the front, was then directed to the engine, was burned and left the aircraft through the tail. Because engines still work today according to that principle, let's examine the engine of the He 178 and its working principle.

Contents
1) Airbreathing jet engines
2) Working principle of the Heinkel He 178
3) Axial compressor and centrifugal compressor
4) Ignitor plugs and self-sustaining combustion
5) Difference between turbojet and turbofan
6) Compressor wheels (rotors) and stators
7) Combustion chamber and the fuel injection system
8) Working principle of turbofans

An excellent animation of basic jet engines. Thank you.

amazing work! this should get a lot more views

I wish I had a professor like you, please do more videos ... Don't stop, I am showing this to my younger cousins.
Plus till now I didn't know the bypass airflow was responsible for most of the thrust.
Thank you.

This gave me enough information to build my own going to build it soon

Why the heck didn't i know about this channel. It's frickin' awesome

Thomas Schwenke Oh man, a big big big thanks for making these videos 
I don't have words to express, a rule should me made that only your videos should be thought in schools all over the world
this will transform the boring teaching into fun learning
KEEP UP THE GREAT

Very interesting. I always thought turbo fans and turbo jets were the same thing.
Once again! Great educational videos!

[SongWolf]

your voice is foreign to me but very soothing at the same time

[dumbcat]

it's very interesting that 80% of the thrust comes from air that is simply compressed, not ignited

[prabuddhananaware]

Very nice video, thanks for sharing information

[chukaofiaeli]

You do an amazing job and i am forever grateful for the knowledge you provide to me.. Thank you very much

[Highlyblue]

Thank You man, you are a real lifesaver...Great Video...

[romelfrost]

thanks man... I do enjoy your videos really. thanks for your great effort :)

[AshishSharma]

Thankyou for posting informative videos. 1 thing I did't get was the blue arrows or air flow.

[bigolrussian]

yo man thx a lot!! great vid i loved it, very helpful :)

[DivinityZX]

One thing that I have wondered is that how does the air interact with the engine, how does momentum shift from the air to the engine? Is it that the pressurised air "pushes" on the turbines and fans and that is how the force is transmitted to the engine and to the whole plane?

[harishganesan]

why did you stop uploading videos please start we need more people like you'

[savage]

Haha should I be paying money for this information ? Because I feel like I should be. Anyway great video. U have taught be more then teacher have taught me in years. Nice work!

[FreshCutEnt]

Someday I'll find out a way to travel in space faster using jets like more research

[Binette]

Hi @Thomas Schwenke, may I know what kind of software are you using for this animations ?
