And that learning experience will never stop. You guys did a great job on that classic! Barrett could learn something from this.

I did 2 years of Automotive Technology in high school, but we never did anything like that. We got to work on teachers cars, but we got paid donuts for it.
It'* nice the instructor put a project like that together. It gives students a drive, besides the usual books and class work.

"Using only 4 words, describe basic turbine engine theory".
That was the first question our instructor asked us in turbine engine school for the Army.

Yea, we were all dumbstuck after that question. But once he said those 4 words, we were like, DUH!
suck, squeeze, bang, blow. In a turbine engine, its a continuous cycle. The same question applies to normal gasoline engines, except, its a 4 cycle process.

That makes sense...lol. We're just finishing up electrical this week, and then we're going on to engine building. I'm looking forward to that, but I wish I had enough money to build a motor for my Bonnie. I get to build a sport mod motor instead so not complaining too much...lol
