A new power-generating system works like a jet engine In a small proof-of-concept test, it was able to send electrons back into an Air Force Base electrical grid. Charlotte Hu Aug 13, 2022 7:00 AM EDT ...

It was first revealed in 1950. A few years later, Rover dropped in a bigger engine and broke the world speed record (for gas turbine cars) at 152 mph. JET 1 could run on gas, paraffin, or diesel oil.

Sadly for 3d printed parts, they are made of plastic. Last we checked, plastic isn’t metal, and so 3d printing a turbine to give the extremely hot exhaust something turn just isn’t going to work.

We love to highlight great engineering student projects at Hackaday. We also love environment-sensing microcontrollers, 3D printing, and jet engines. The X-Plorer 1 by JetX Engineering checks all t… ...
