You're a great guy to share your knowledge. Dad was a F4 test pilot for McDonnell Douglas. He'd bring that thing screaming back over the farm and break the sound barrier on purpose.it took him an hour to drive to work and five minutes to get from there to over the farm in the F4. You could do that back in the early sixties. I was just a boy I thought he was a God!
LOL! Not everyone can brag about how their dad used to break the sound barrier on purpose over their house:-). Yup, those were different times. Cant do that anymore, but oh well.
I was an engine tech on the J79-15 installed in the F4 D in Vietnam Nam. We ran them through their paces on the trim pad. The sound with it in afterburner under it checking for leaks was truly awsome!
My Dad was one of the engineers who designed the J-79 along with Gerhard Neuman and others. The perforations in the combustors were not just for cooling but also to add extra air to make combustion more complete and reduce smoke.
Thanks for the feedback. I'm hoping to take my channel from a collection of simple exhibitions of things to an actual useful learning resource. It's a big step, and it's going to take a lot of work. Just today, a few hours ago, I tried to make an instructional video explaining compressor theory (including diffusion), but I needed to understand the subject matter better in order to explain it with clarity. ... Working on it, and I hope to complete it soon !
I have the utmost respect for people that make this their art and their life and their career! While it's pretty easy to understand, I know there is so much going on here! This video helped a lot!
It's hard to understand why that shape and its material,I still don't know why this J79 engine will blow out much black smoke when it's working?It's pretty bad when flying and fighting.
Very interesting walk through of the J79 for us who are seeing the core hardware for the first time. Thanks so much for sharing your expertise in a way that's understandable. 🙂
The first stage turbine is probably the hardest working part of this amazing machine. Your explanation is on point for anyone. Thanks forgot doing this video. This incredible machine made this world a small place. Now let's live in peace.
Hello Ray. Can you explain why the First stage is the hardest working part? I work for an MRO for the J85 and see many 1st and 2nd stage that we work on.
Thank you Gentlemen! It's nearly impossible to find this kind of knowledge by Indian youtubers for us. That's why I am watching u. Thanks a lot for videos, love from India ❤
A "jet engine" is a gas generator with an exhaust-acceleration nozzle attached to the back of it. A helicopter engine is a gas generator with a free-power turbine attached to the back of it, which feeds its torque into a gearbox to drive the rotors. Apart from size differences, they are the same type of gas generator. Smaller ones may use centrifugal compressors vs axial, but they are the same thing in terms of design.
This is a terrific video. I have, for a long time, understood the basic operation of a jet turbine engine. To see it up close and explained was informative and very enjoyable. Thanks!
Interesting videos, JayZ. You brought back a lot of fond memories with your J-79 instructions. I have been maintaining and overhauling jet engines for 42 years...I am retired Air Force and also work in commercial aviation at a jet engine overhaul facility located in the Miami area of South Florida. I cut my teeth on J-79s in Okinawa and Korea in the early 1970s, and later taught J-79 QEC buldup and teardown as an instructor at Chanute Airplane Farm in the late 1970s. Nice job!
Fantastic Video, Thank you. I'm 45yrs. old and have had the jet turbine engine explained to me in many ways. Now finally (Thanks to your video) I 'fully' understand how they work. Very cool!
Thanks. you have a lot more experience with this engine than I do! I have not tested a modern fighter engine, so I can't really compare, but I just love these old beasts ! Your approval means a lot.
This channel is amazing! Yesterday, I knew absolutely nothing about the mechanics of jet engines. As of 7:15 a.m. today, I’m pretty much an expert lol! Very cool stuff! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I was a J-79 Mechanic on the F-4 Phantom II way back in 1966-1970 era. Spent about half my time in the shop, and the other half working flight line maintenance. Every service did things a little differently. Out engine starter was on the rear side of the accessory gear box. We had a CSD and Generator on the very front of the engine at the inlet...........the pad you indicated was incomplete. It was encased in a stainless cowl. Many a time I crawled up the inlet to change this unit. The country was already HOT and then you add the engine heat.........well you get the idea. After while you are slipping and sliding in your own sweat. Needless to say, I was THINNER back then. JB
ajay kumar That question would be hard to answer as the exhaust nozzle was variable....in that the nozzle changed as throttle position changed. The engine temperature (commonly know as EGT) was monitored by the Temperature Amplifier and it sent signals to change the exhaust nozzle to keep the EGT regulated. At idle the nozzle was full open, and as power was increased to max. (military) power the nozzle closed. It would be fully closed at max. power. When A.B. was selected, the nozzle would open back up to full to allow maximum thrust. If you watched the nozzle closely during all power ranges it was always in a state of "flux" because it was being used to keep the correct EGT. Hope this helps. Jerry
Coins a new meaning for "engines are music to my ears". This is a great educational video. You can use this for presentation material at any tech school. I think students would enjoy this more than those silly sales "training" videos.
Worked on the GE J-79-10 used in the F4 -J Phantom from 1973-75 aboard USS Independence CV-62. We ran a lot of these on the test cell during two Mediterranian cruises. I kept several technical books on the -10. I've never forgotten the sound as these were turning up. It cost me some hearing loss but what the heck. Like having a battle scar; I'd never complain. An unequalled experience.
being a maintenace engineer/mechanic allways interested in new areas of tech' very simple and concise explanation , will check out your other vid's .............
Both your channel description and the segment of this video at 2:39 of the "musical compressor blades" earned you a subscribe and a favorite. As someone like-minded that constantly studies and explores sounds with a compulsive obsession with mechanical engineering, this is quite possibly one of the most interesting and awesome things I've ever seen, and probably the most complex and expensive musical instrument ever lol. Thanks for this incredible video!!!!!
It's hard to imagine where people came up with these ideas to make something that is so amazing and unconventional compared to what was around before the Jet Engine. Thanks for sharing this information, I enjoyed learning more about the way these things work.
Man this video is amazing. I am a jet engine enthusiast. I love how simply complex they are and this video helped me better understand a lot about turbines.
For me, this video in particular, along with your descriptions, has proven to be the most informative with respect to turbojet engine function and design. It's filled in many of the blanks (or questions) I'd had about how these gems operate, having not been exposed to the guts, up close. Still trying to wrap my head around the whole diffuser (confuser?) deal but that makes this learning adventure that much more fun! Something else I learned recently; read the comments... might learn something
At the Ontario, California Engine Shop, we overhauled J-79 engines for the Air Force in the early 60's to the late 70's man there were alot of engines we overhauled. A great place to work.
@justforever96 The turbine nozzles are located upstream of their respective turbine stage, while a compressor stator is located downstream of its respective stage, otherwise the two components are similar. Stators decelerate air coming off a compresor stage, raising its pressure, and direct it at the next. Turbine nozzles accelerate exhaust gases, lowering their pressure, and direct them towards turbine.
Incredible, so 4 of these bad boys hauled the B58 to Mach 2 +. I loved the visual of the compressor blades getting smaller and smaller as the compression when higher. Thanks
At work we had a cut away Orenda. I spent hours staring at it, trying to understand it's workings. It got shipped to another university. There was a P&W PT 6 cut away too. Something I found interesting was that Canada never developed an aircraft piston engine, but designed and built 2 of the best jet engines of their time.
As an old Phantom Phixer, I did a lot of structural repair on these, not as an engine mech, but 6042 sheet metal. Combustion cans all of the time. Titanium rivets to put them back together. Turkey feathers, and forward blades as NDI. I miss them, and I don't miss them.
Wow thanks for the video AgentJayZ! You clarified a few questions I had about the turbine stage, I honestly thought it was like straight through with no segments for the direction of gas flow! Thanks again! :)
Wow. I haven't watched any of your videos for a while. I was very addicted for a long time, but fortunately my family had an intervention for me. Lol. These are always awesome, fabulous and informative, thank you
Ken, I worked with a fellow at Federal Express who worked on B-58's in the Air Force. His name was John Mullen........and at one time he was at Little Rock AFB.........most likely in the mid to late 60's. We also had a Captain that I am close to that flew for FEDEX and he was a "Hustler" pilot. His name was "Buck" Carroll. Buck was a very interesting character and still alive. I think he is fast approaching the 90 mark. The B-58 was way ahead of its time. Beautiful airplane though. My understanding it was a "bear" to work on. Everything was secured with high stress fasteners and even getting into any compartment was work. JB
Somehow the comments went from a J79 (GE) to the R&R RB211, but to make even clearer to Mr. Bradley below, the RB211 is what's called three-spool engine, and as AgentJayZ stated, each spool has it own compressor as well as their own turbine, but no "three piece shaft" as you stated and corrected by AgentJayZ. Great video, guys. I'm well up to speed on this technology, but still amazed how well you explain things in just plain English, and not just this video but others. Thanks.
Excellent video. Now I can imagine how much thrust from this sweet monster. All based on kerosene as fuel, as hydrolics, as lubricant and as coolant. Cheers from Indonesia
Thanks for demonstrating that! I've always wondered how these compressors actually work. It's nice to get an explanation from someone who obviously has a keen understanding of turbojet.
Well, I hope you will do just that. It would be a wonderful addition to what's already a treasure trove of information, something this gearhead loves. Surely helps having a really cool teacher, too! Warning: Don't let it go to your head! :)
Old post but, I worked on J79 engines in 1983. No CSD mounted on that one. Also worked on J52s'. Thunderous beasts they were. the old suck squeeze bang blow. Nothing like a good compressor stall at 80 %,,,BOOOOOM
with all your knowledge on these engines im surprised you havn't made a model or something, a small engine that could fit in a car or something. really enjoyed watching, love to learn new things and turbines are at the top of the list at the moment. keep up the great videos
Another excellent video; I'm an engine designer and it's always really interesting for me to see how somebody else approaches the same design challenges as we do....the cans and transition duct is very different to the annular systems that are commonplace now this side of the pond. Given the uncooled turbine blade 1 the firing temperature must be quite low? I didn't grasp the length of the engine; obviously the afterburner makes up a lot of that but that's going to take a lot of aircraft to hide that!...again, thank you for your video and kindly sharing your experience.
@@lincolnengland5005 Do you have an email address I can reach you at? I am working on a project involving a unqiue gas turbine design and looking for freelance designers. Please let me know.
Very good job sir without making it too geeky. The musical blades was a pretty cool distraction. Shows you can stop and enjoy the abstracts of life... Cool video..
Thanx alot :) Yesterday I found an J79 and an T58 here in a museum in Norway. On this J79 it was alot of pipes going from those flanges on the midtframe and back to afterburner. Probably for an F104 Starfighter.

Check out some of the J79 test runs with afterburner. Always good to hear from people who were there.
One fine engine, many hours, blood and tears handling that monster.
Loved it.

What a great overview, glad I watched again after a few years
I used to be a J-79 engine mechanic back in the early 60's on the B-58 Hustler. 10,500 pounds of thrust @7460 RPM
