Reflection on Propulsion Demonstration - Haikal S10077066B

Before the demonstration, we were told to wear a special headset to protect our ears from the deafening sound from the engine itself. The guy presses some buttons and I could hear sound coming from the engine even though we are wearing the headset.

The engine is smaller than I’ve expected. So, it works in the way that air is sucked into the engine and the oxygen would than be used to burn the fuel in the combustion chamber. Hot air is produced to give thrust to the engine. This is where the engine gains temperature as high as 600 Degree Celsius and a huge flaming combustion can be seen within the engine itself.

In conclusion, I think the demonstration doesn’t really show how the engine entirely works but it does give the basic on how it works.
