VIDEO: Model Pocket Jet Engine

QUOTE: Posters (johnnyq90) Caption

"This is a presentation of the finished tiny jet engine that i made. I didn't
include any video because i haven't tested yet, since i have not an appropriate
small gas tank. My guess is that it won't work efficiently or won't work at all,
because when you scale down any sort of engine, some of it's properties
change a lot, and i'm not in position to know which are going to be, since i
have neither the knowledge nor the equipment to find out. If the engine will
work I will post a video in the future"

"Video of the initial testing ..."

That was pretty cool.  Was that a cigarette lighter providing the fuel?

He was only using the lighter to ignite the jet ...
I say this because in the first video he mentions it had no gas tank and he was looking for one.
The second vid we see he found one

It looked like the "Fuel" supply was also a lighter, only with the flint and striker removed so he could actuate the flow.

I think he would need the lighter at the intake end of the jet to use the gas has fuel, well starter fuel at least. This would be assuming it would work at all ... That's the way the larger Rc jets start theirs using the propane and they put it in at the intake end. And notice how the output kept blowing out the flame, so yes all he would need is the flint and striker to get her going at the exhaust end. And not forgetting I know even less than he did which ain't saying much {LOL}
