This is a very cool turbofan type aircraft engine wich generates thrust for to plane. Usually passanger planes use this type of engnes like the Airbus A320 or the Boeing 737. With this spinning engine, you can teach and learn the way, how these engines work. Id you have a smoke machine, you can see how the gases move inside the engine.
You have to get:
2pc 8x16x5mm bearing
2pc M3 heat inserts (M3x6x4.2mm)
2pcv M3x8mm screws
To assemble
Put the bearings at the place where those fit properly
Glue the 4 center cylindrical things (fan, compressor, connector, turbine) together
Put the center chaft in the center of the bottom cover
Inset the heat inserts with a soldering iron, put the top part with the screw hole on top, screw the 2 screws in
You can put the other top part at the very top
After you made the model, it can be spinned and if you put the top part on too and spin it fast enough, it cann simulate the airflow with for example a smoker.
