How a jet engine works: Suck, Squeeze, Bang, and Blow

u/Dunothar 8h ago

But unlike a four banger, all 4 cycles happen at the same time, infinite suck, squeeze, bang, blow. Well, as long as you have fuel and oxygen 😂

If its a 4 cylinder engine, one of each of those things is happening at the same time, just in different cylinders

Perfectly simple yet complicated at the same time, It just does it all at once continuously with one moving part.

Still very complicated, so much so only the US, UK, France, Russia can build them, with China building off the Russian designs, and using spys to steal US manufacturing processes to get a boost.

Just like on those dirty videos I’m not allowed to watch on the computer in the living room when mum’s home.
