Reactive thrust is the most powerful of everything that exists. It is possible to demonstrate its principle of action on a self-made model. This is a completely safe device, as it works from gas to refuel lighters, so it can be collected at home.
Materials:
- tube 32 mm;
- tin or thin sheet aluminum;
- Super glue;
- bicycle needles;
- electric motor from toys;
- Empty rod from ballpoint pen;
- board;
- Thin hose
- Gas lighters - 2 pcs.
The process of manufacturing a reactive engine
To make the engine case, you need to cut off a piece of pipe with a length of 55 mm.
In one of her end, a sheet metal bracket passes. It should have a hole in the center for the axis with blades.
Of the thin sheet metal, 4 disks are cut for the inner diameter of the pipe. They need to be drilled in the center, cut the blades on them and bring the impeller from them.
Next, a piece of bicycle needles is 70 mm long. It is put on the impellers. To secure them, the glue and sleeves from the empty rod from the ballpoint handle are used.
The axis with blades is inserted into the tube. Then the second mount is pasted into it. So that the axis does not hang, you need to put the bushings from the rod in front of the brackets.
A cone from a cut vertex is bent made of thin sheet metal. It takes 3 holes.
The cone is glued to the engine body.
In 2 holes on the cone, metal tubes are pasted.
They can be removed from the telescopic antenna, and the metal rods from the ballpoint handle are also suitable. The engine is screwed to a wooden base of sheet metal brackets so that the hole in the cone without the tube is up. Similarly, an electric motor is attached to the sole. Its axis is connected to the reactive motor by means of a rod from the handle.
Wires are soldered to the motors' contacts.
Thin hoses are stretched on the tubes from the cone.
They need to continue to the free part of the wooden sole and connect to the fasteners of fixed lighters.
Now, when you press buttons on lighters, the gas will go into the cone of the jet engine, where it needs to be alleged. Then, when the air is started, a traction will appear. It will continue until you let go of the lighter.
