Ok, I know all there is to know about the Pratt & Whitney Turbine engine, they have them on the C17's that I work on. I was looking at how the jet engine compresses air, and some of the methods used by turbochargers and superchargers to compress air, there arent many different types of turbochargers but there are a few more supercharger designs. I wanted to know if there is anyone in here that has tryed to make/design a supercharger that is the same design as the compressor section on a Turbine jet engine? If you took the compressor section off of the front of a turbine engine, shrunk it down, put a shaft through the middle of it to drive it, put a pully at the end of it and hooked it to the engine with a belt, you would also have to have a turbo cooler for the air, because it will get hot.

The only thing that they dont show is the Stators, in a turbofan engine there are rotors and stators, the rotors are what spins, they look like fan blades, the stators are stationary, and facing the opisite direction.

Rotor = / = rotates with shaft.
Stator= \ =does not move.

If you have them in a series it looks like this-

\ / \ /
\ / \ /
\ / \ /
\ / \ /
\ / \ /
The more rotors and stators you have the more stages of compresion, Also the main key to the compresion is the cone in the middle, it is what all of the blades (rotors and stators) are connected to. At the beguining of the stages of compression,the cone is small, (the tip), as you go further back the cone gets larger, and the air gets more compressed, and since the fan blades are pushing the air towards the large end of the cone it has no where to go so it compresses as much as it can.
For thoes of you who dont understand this might help.

I was just thinking about this so if anyone has any imput on it that would be great, I am in the process of designing somthing. I will get back to you with the progress and test results, I am using computer fan blades, and PVC pipe, if you have a beter idea let me know.
