Higher Education Through the Art of Perversion- Combustion
Have you ever wanted to know the stages of combustion but just can't manage to remember the sequence or method?
No?
Well, you're gonna learn today, and we are gonna make it FUN. Log it away for a rainy day.

For today's example, we are going to use a basic turbine engine. Although, the process of combustion is pretty universal so this dirty memory trick can help you with pretty much all engines. Impress your friends, drop some panties, look a little less dumb around a mechanic. The possibilities are endless!
This method of learning, "higher education through the art of perversion", was employed quite liberally in school for aircraft maintenance. This, however, is by far the best example.
The first thing you need to know for this simplified explanation is that there are 4 stages of combustion:
SUCK - SQUEEZE - BANG - BLOW.

SUCK (Intake)
In a turbine engine, we begin by drawing air through a set of large blades. This air serves two purposes, the first is to cool the engine, the second, to give us a means of delivering fuel. The cooling air flows though the large housing surrounding the engine while the rest goes in for the fuel. If air wasn't used to mix with the fuel... well...

SQUEEZE (Compression)
Behind the first set of external blades, are rows of much smaller, angled blades. These blades take the air and squeeze the ever loving fuck out of it. I mean, REALLY packing it in there. We need this air compressed tightly to properly ignite and give us the kind of explosion we are looking for. That sweet spot between "WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE" and "crackling camp fire".

BANG (Combustion)
Now, we get to the good part. This is where our fuel is injected into the compressed air and ignited. The mixture of the fuel to air ratio is adjusted by the pilot. I am sure you've heard it in movies, making it "rich or lean". This just varies the mix, giving you smaller or bigger explosions, basically.

BLOW (Exhaust)
Now that we have a raging fire in the belly of our crazy flying machine, we let it go. Like that ex you knew wasn't really good for you in large doses. As this ignited air explodes outward, it turns a THIRD and final stage of blades. These blades use the turning power it harnesses to power the other stages of the engine. Order through chaos.

Oh, and just in case you're a visual learner like I am!
And there you have it!
You just learned how an engine works!
Get out there and show your friends how smart you are!

Wow, I learned a lot with this post and it was tremendous fun!
I am so glad you enjoyed it! Thought I would test the waters and see what kind of audience is out there for this! <3 <3
Thank you for looking, darling!
It's always a pleasure, dearest. ❤
❤❤❤
Sorry, Stitchless, I will stop the leg-humping now :(
lol
I learned something too, the Perfect Woman is just a little perverted ;)
...just when I didn't think you could rise any higher in my eyes... ;)
You continue to amaze!
LITERALLY ALWAYS.
Your brain is the best. Glad you've been uploading your cosciousness to the blockchain one post at a time. It needs to be preserved for when our AI overlords want to upgrade their humor scripts. <3
I am blushing over here, Dayleeo! Seriously! Thank you for appreciating my wacky humor and gif-happy nature. <3
And oh man... the AI's are going to curse and hit on things so much. God help us.
I always remember it as Squirt Squash Bang and Blow
:P
😂😂😂😂
I could do with a bit of thrust... giggles madly
Ask and you shall receive.

😀😀😂😂
brought here by @dayleeo stayed for the fun way of using gifs and funnies to learn stuffs. i learned stuffs. i am therefore more educated. we all win.
Well, thank you , Dayleeo!
Welcome, and I hope you enjoy your visit! I keep it pretty light and silly around here for the most part. I am glad you learned some stoof! What are you going to do with it? I hope it is something conniving.
lol. i could'nt possibly say.. . ;)

Well, I finally got to read another one of your posts! :-)
That's an interesting teaching method, I must admit.
Heya! Glad you stopped by again! I love it when you comment on my stuff!
Watch, it will stick with you!
Oh, is it sticky? Damn, I touched it...
