When was the last time your computer flew you from JFK to LAX? Airflow is useless, cooling is what you need. Instead of blowing your money on retarded trashcan case you can buy a cooling fan > peltier module > heatsink setup which will be miles more efficient at cooling. Jet Engines propel planes, computer fans cool hot chips; airflow is only important because you want to remove hot air.

But you wouldn't know that because your brain is incapable of self-awareness. Be a good Goy & do as your told by forking the shekels over.

Also, the reason a lot of cases are rectangular is due to the fact that motherboards are other system components are reliant on it. Things like the Mac Pro are developed in a non-standard fashion. Although it allows the machine to operate in a certain way, it severely restricts the user's ability to use components that do not conform to the standard; thus making it a ticking timebomb of planned obsolescence.

Unfortunately, it's not buckling spring. It's rubber dome, though not the linear mushy kind. The keys resist completely until they suddenly snap down when you apply enough pressure. The keys on mine seemed very stiff and it was not very enjoyable to type on.

That said, it's a compact tenkeyless keyboard with a genuine TrackPoint IV, complete with center button, just like a modern ThinkPad's. If only it had good keyswitches it would be the ultimate keyboard.

The actual combustion chamber will be either elliptical or circular. Having a square combuster leads to very poor combustion in the corners, where the flow tends to stagnate (at least in relation to the rest of the flow). There will always be a transition from a squarish inlet to an elliptical combuster, unless you are pants on head retarded and want the lowest combustion efficiency possible.

It actually entered production, but the state of German industry was so bad that they had trouble supplying it with jet fuel. It needed a longer runway than normal aircraft, and this made it hard to deploy. Germany was being subjected to relentless 24/7 bombing; airfields, factories, and refineries were prime targets. Allies had near total air superiority at the time so it was hard for pilots to get adequate training.

When properly deployed, it was incredibly effective against bombers and there was nothing in the allied arsenal that could match it until after the war.

I disagree that either actually explain how a turbojet works.

I don't think any explanation would be adequate that didn't let you derive, (using appropriate simplifications) how much more thrust you would obtain from a particular turbojet setup, relative to just burning that gas and pointing it backwards.

>Also, it's the most secure ever, only one significant accident in all it's history
One catastrophic failure of a fleet size of 26 does not make for an impressive safety record.

Thrust is going to be given by your gas exhaust velocity, it's actually quite easy to find (with simplifications of course)

I've got it somewhere, been a few years since I did compressible fluid/turbo machinery.

The nozzle at the exit is there to choke the flow of exhaust gas so that the flow will go super sonic as it exits. The temperature, pressure and mass flow rates will let you use mach tables to determine the velocities across the shock wave. The pressure and temperatures after combustion will be able to be found using basic thermodyamics.

A lot of compressible fluid calculations involve the use of tables.
