10 more days!!!

Ok so here is a little background. I applied to be an Air Force Pilot and I get the results back in 10 days. Applying is not your easy job application though, it took me over 3 months to get everything together to apply. After a very uncomfortable physical exam, an interview with a current AF pilot, and many letters of reccommendation, I was ready to submit my package. Well its been almost 2 months since I submitted and the release date is almost here... OCT 20! So in my offtime I have tried to keep my mind off of the whole selection thing, so I have been building a Jet engine (this will double for my senior project). It has done a pretty decent job of keeping my mind off of it except for the past week now. I suppose the release date is so soon now that nothing can stop me from thinking about it. Anyway, a little about the jet engine. Well, we are using a turbocharger as the guts of the engine, so basically what we have to do is: Design, build and test the Combustion Chamber, figure out a way to keep the turbo's bearings lubricated and cool, mount the whole engine somewhere for testing, and that is really all the basics that need to be done; obviously there is more to it but no need for explaining right now. Well for the past month I have been working on the most important part, the combustion chamber, and today it made it all worth it. We did an archaic test but it was sucessful and showed lots of hope for upcoming tests. We just used a shop vac to blow air into the combustion Chamber, then lit the propane with an oxy/cetelene torch, and turned her up. It really roared when you would turn the propane up, and the outside can (burner can) stayed luke warm (you could touch it) and that is exactly what is supposed to happen with the design we used. I'll upload some pics when I get them but for now I think that will be a good first post!
