I really loved seeing Schlieren on a jet of air like that! Personally i think pursuing EDF afterburners would be more interesting as that is not something often tried with effort on YouTube.
In the Schlieren episode, could you try to fire a model rocket motor and short exposure photography? Like even a tiny motor should have interesting flow right by the nozzle and short exposure should ensure it is clear and sharp

Follow the process it's leading you to a destination.

I think adding a few stators as you mentioned and making the nozzle longer could help. After all, all the burning that happens outside of the nozzle doesn't do you any good.

Schlieren imaging is really interesting. And, I think continuing on the carbon fiber jet engine path is a good path to follow

Instead of using a turbo design which is designed for air pressure, you can make an Axle Compressor which is suited for fast air flow…

- A turbo charger design loses fast airflow due to the 90 degree angle in the intake, an axle compressor has smooth airflow without loss of energy while keeping the air compressed at high speeds.
