Rethinking Bearings for Pre-Assembled Turbojet Engine: The Cool Parts Show All Access
One struggle of developing the engine was maintaining a gap between the rotating and stationary components to accommodate a hydrostatic bearing. Future work will involve other types of bearings.
Episode #75 of The Cool Parts Show covers a pre-assembled turbojet engine developed at Technion, the Israel Institute of Technology. The main episode touched on the hydrostatic bearings that serve as the interface between the spinning and stationary pieces. Beni Cukurel told us more about those bearings and other options under consideration in this clip.
