A conventional jet engine uses lots of moving parts (see diagram). Rotating blades draw in air and compress it before igniting it with fuel in a combustion chamber, creating rapidly expanding hot ...

The prototype already achieves a jet pressure of 24,000 newtons per square meter with 400 watts of power, comparable to commercial aircraft engines. However, larger aircraft will require ...
