Ah, making a what... and how?! 😮

This is a gloriously pointless creation that's fascinating to watch as the build unfolds. I didn't think it was possible to do this with the rough tolerances used here.

I'd love to know how much thrust it produces. Notice how it was glued to the table to stop it flying off.

For aviation nerds, this is a low bypass ratio engine.
