That's a nice summary @bitfairy. The jet engine is such a remarkably simple concept (although the engineering and metallurgy behind it probably isn't). I have seen some video's of some people who have actually built jet engines from readily available bits like turbochargers and even tin cans. How cool is that :)

The metallurgy behind it is one of the marvels of engineering. I see some websites selling working kits at less than $200 with detailed step by step on how to assemble your jet engine. I think it's a pretty cool hobby.
