Reflection on Propulsion - Cheng Yong

The engine demonstrates how loud the surrounding environment can become when combustion created enormous engine power enough for us to feel the amount of needed to drive airplanes. Inside the room, i can feel the push of the engine even though only the sound of it is reaches us considering that we are protected from the engine from both ears and temperature. I wondered how does it felt to be even closer for the teacher operating the demonstration.

To think that compressed air can be so strong when facing ignition drive airplane engines of real life is still something that never came to my thought. This makes me think of the fan section that was used for the engine, as explained it surely isn't something i want to use for my home fan as it contains enough power to kill. Also, the size of the engine looks small in comparison to the power it produced as the room used for demonstration is even smaller than the classroom used to teach us.
