I think I know were you're going with this one. There's a reason why Adam Savage & Jamie Hyneman make that announcement at the beginning of the TV show. Do yourself a favor,and consider your family's feelings,let your curiosity go before someone winds up burying you and living with the loss of a loved one. I guess that means don't do it.
While working in a Fatigue Lab where we are trying to induce failures in various structures, it was noted that the best way to initiate a crack in Titanium is to tap it with a welding rod. Titanium is quite common in many aircrfat engines as it does not absorb heat. So when the welding rod connects to the surface of titanium, it trys to repel the heat and the result is many tiny cracks shoot our radially from the point of contact. As the part is then loaded with stress, one of those cracks will be in line with the principal stress and a fatigue crack will develope immediately.

How to make a jet propulsion v type engine?
Since the terminology "V type" refers to piston configuration and since jet engines don't have pistons then it's not possible.
What is a jet engines dimensions?
It is the height, width and length of a jet engine.
What is the difference between a plane and a jet?
A Jet plane has no propellers. (Actually, there are 'prop-jets' on which propellers are powered by jet engines.)There is basically no difference in the airplane. The engines are different and sometimes the design of the wings or fuselage is different to allow for the different type engines. For example, early single-engine jets had their engines embedded within the fuselage so the air flow entered the nose or just under the wings and exited the tail after being ignited.Another difference is that Jet aircraft usually fly faster than propellor. The wings on propellor a/c are usually straight whereas the wings of jets are slanted aft. This improves aerodynamics when the jet approaches the speed of sound.
Metal used to make jet engines?
Shot peened cast alimunum more than likely. Or cast iron to hold up to the higher rpms/pressure/turbocharging.
How many piston have a Airbus engen?
All airbus aircraft have jet engines, these have no pistons as you mean it.
Type of engine used to power space flights?
rocket engines,compared to jet engines
Did the b-36 jet engines use jet fuel or the same gas as the 4360 engines?
The jet engines used jet fuel, not gasoline as the 6 main engines did.
A type of fuel rhymes with magazine?
Kerosene is a type of fuel that rhymes with magazine. It is commonly used for heating and jet engines.
Are jet engines still used today?
yes they are, they are the engines you see on a 747 or even a small Private jet
What type of engine used in fighter bombers?
Many types of engines were used in many fighter bombers. Possibly the most famous ever was the WW2 Mosquito which used Merlin engines
What material is used for jet engine?
Steel, titanium and aluminium are all used in jet engines.
Why jet engines are used at high altitudes?
For thrust. Engines are used to overcome the drag of the airplane.
What is the name of airplane fuel?
Avgas is a common name for fuel used by internal combustion engines in aircraft, while jet fuel is used in jet engines.
Why are jet engines used for jets?
There is no actual answer, because a jet is called a jet because it has at least one jet engine.
How many engines does a jet aircraft have?
For the most part, jet engine aircraft mostly have 2 jet engines such as the a319, 737 and private jets such as lears and gulfstreams. However, this is purely dependent on the type of aircraft it is. Some aircraft, such as the 747, a340 and a380 have 4 jet engines.
When were jet engines invented in World War 2?
Jet engines were invented before WW2. They were used in a few late war German fighters.
What type of plane did the jet replace?
The jet did not 'replace' any type of plane, it was just another logical step in the development of aircraft engines.The jet did not 'replace' any type of plane, it was just another logical step in the development of aircraft engines.
