As an aviation geek, I saw this video in 2023 and think I lost 10 fantstic years… what a video ! Only knowledge, no BS and such passion
I suggest you start with my playlist Your Questions Answered. There's a hundred vids there...
I am an A&P prospect and watching all videos from beginning. Working at a turbine shop would be awesome.
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 will love to have a dad like this some day
That is awesome on another level.
That would have been awesome
@@MrEstebanSzucs are you unborn?
Thanks for that... I'll keep makin' 'em as long as you keep watchin' 'em!
In which aircraft model it was equipped with????
Hot Musician: What kind of instrument do you play?
Cool Musician: a J79
That´s Einstürzende Neubauten. They actually play on turbine parts
This is a 9 years old video, still teaching us valuable leasons, thank you Sir
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 !
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.
He got distracted a little and started playing music in the middle.
who wouldn't?
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.
OMG THIS WAS SO COOL TO WATCH!!!! I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH. I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR KINDENSS IN SHARING.
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.
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.
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.
The engineering that goes into something like this is just amazing... Great video fella
I was an AGE mechanic and we supported F4 Phantoms , I really loved the F4 & it's J79 engine , thank you for this great tutorial .
"What instrument do you play?" The J79.
Legendary J79! Drinks a lot, used to smoke a lot, but tough and reliable!
One fine engine, many hours, blood and tears handling that monster.
Loved it.
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!
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!
What a fantastic tour. It meant a lot to me as my grandpa was a Jet engnes expert working specifically on J-85s and J-79s in the former IIAF.
r1cw is 100% correct, and I endorse his answer completely.
That's just a whole bunch of cool right there
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
Sir can u tell me the dimensions of J-79 nozzle?.....plz..........
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
Jerry Brownlee great info! What is the reason for keeping the EGT within a fixed range?
Jerry Brownlee Dad was an F-4 Pilot in Nam and after in VX-5 China Lake..... love the F-4
Thanks for your service. A and P mechanics are the unsung heros
I've watched so many videos on how jet engines 'work' but never quite got it into my head, this video solved that! Thanks!
The J79 was hot stuff when I joined the Air Force in 1960. These days it looks as crude as its early 1950s origin would suggest. Engines have come a long way.
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.
Absolutely awesome. Thanks for posting this great video 😎
Very instructive. Thanks for the tour...
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.
Jet engine mechanic, F4G Wild Weasels. 84-88. Loved every minute!
I was at Clark 86 to 89. A friend of mine was a wild weasel pilot. Loved watching the guys practice up at the range near Camp O’Donnell. Good times!
Very informative, music to the ears even when it doesn't run.
Thanks so much for sharing and this vid and ur explanation are so helpful for students who want to see the actual jet engine in detail.
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!
You were playing music with it, while I am very amazed, so awesome to, & thank you very much for showing
I've seen so many of these in museums, but never had such a good guided tour. Thanks!
What a great overview, glad I watched again after a few years
Simply amazing... Believe it or not, the IGV's are very similar to many IGV assemblies on centrifugal refrigeration compressors. The old Westinghouse/Mcquay centrifugals had IGVs and rear diffusers (variable outlet) that worked in sync with the IGV assemblies. to assist in the variable capacity capability of the 'pump', if you may. Tolerances were critical. Thanks for the video.. I always loved the J79's in my favorite plane, the F104.
What a work of art!
Sitting in The Cotswolds in England.. I am addicted to these videos. Don't know why, but I am.........
Thanks. It's always nice to hear something complimentary.
An excellent presentation. Works well as a general introduction and provides real insight.
Very well done! I love your delivery! It's very efficient communication with just the right amount of simplification. Very simplified, but not patronizing. I am very happy to subscribe and glad I found this. Keep doing what you are doing.
@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.
"Once it's lit, it stays lit"
just like me on the weekends.
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! :)
Another great video. So glad you get rught down to the pieces and parts, and what each does.
This is defently the best video i've ever watch to jet engine and its useful to learners .Thank you so much
This guy knows how to teach, he knows how the mind works because his does
That's fantastic overview....please keep doing this type of videos they are very informative....
Thanks a lot! I use yours videos for my lessons because a don't have a real gas turbine. Thanks for all!
Thanks for your fantastic and simple explanation about working principle of jet engine with sectional view.
Wow,it was posted 9 yrs ago.Thank you for the information sir.
very nice tour around the engine. I will use it with my would-be pilots. Thanks!
!
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.
Beautiful tour on a mythic engine! Thank you!
El J-79 , consumía mucho combustible y producía mucho humo.
Siendo detectable al radar y también en forma visual.
Thank very much sir, for the tour of this super jet engine, that engine set up really the standards of jet engine long time ago.
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.
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
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
Thanks for a very understandable explanation of how a jet engine works. Thanks John
@Nature Restored LIVE huh??? Dumbest question ever!
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.
What a wonderful tour!
You are an excellent teacher. We are an expert now =). Keep up the good work and we are waiting for your videos...
Very nicely explained....thank you sir....🙏👏🏽👍
What a beautiful piece of musical instrument, a very big music box :-)
+zapfanzapfan,
What instrument do you play?
"The J-79"
This is one of the best videos on turbines i have ever seen. Great job!
Absolutely amazing details, as i love anything technical 👍🔧🔩
Damn worked on -17's out of wild weasels brings back memories. These engines are tough as hell had one come in to our shop at Edwards with half the blades gone on every stage to the turbine was still running great. These engines are a safety wiring dream it will definitely make you a safety wiring pro
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
Worked on the j79... It's a beast!
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.
Thank you very much for the tour.
FYI, I subscribed because of your short to the point explanation and telling me you had other videos to show what you were explaining. Great job!!!
Thanks, and thanks.
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
Amazing designs,inventions and functions so efficiently.
I'm astonished over the the beautiful sounds you get from plucking the compressor blades...literally "music to the ears."
I know that engine by heart. I work on them for 5 years back in the mid-late 60's -8 and -10 models
Really grateful for this video !
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.
Um... there was that third one. Too bad we blew that opportunity.
@@AgentJayZ : Well, I did mean the Orenda and the Iroquois. P&W Canada did good work too.
Nice video. Explaines the J79 very clearly. Thanks for recording and uploading.
Thanks, man. I was just looking for such a video!
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
This must be one of the sexiest vids out there, thanks man it's just a beautiful piece of engineering.
Million thanks for sharing the great video of J 79 engine..
Excellent video... explains a lot of things that I never really understood about jet engines.
Marvellous!...thanks for a great explanation. The best!
being a maintenace engineer/mechanic allways interested in new areas of tech' very simple and concise explanation , will check out your other vid's .............
A very good tour! Nice and understandable explained even for a German like me :-)
Fabulous video! I have learned alot from this. Thanks for the tutorial
Wow, I remember these when I was in the Air Force, along with J-69's and J-85's 42350--F4E's, C-141's, T-38's and T-37's
Very good tour.
Wow, this is one of the best "how it works" videos I've seen on turbine engines.
THANKS A LOT FOR DETAILS, ITS HELP TO UNDERSTAND HOW JET ENGINE WORKS, ITS SIMPLE BUT DEEP TECHNEC,
Very detailed and instructive video.
This guy really knows what he is talking about.
Congrats for your video.
Always the best. Thank you
Thank you for this amazing clip! Best regards
Thanks a lot ! Excellent video, as usual.
Man that's fantastic information...I love it.. great video thanks.. keep going on.
I love how you end with "now you're an expert ...". That's a lovely tounge-in-cheek hint at how much experience you actually have.
