Jet engines, like those powering airliners, burn a lot of fuel, right? Think again. . . .

In the attached paper, I reveal how a jet engine can also be made to work without combustion of any kind. The trick is that you must carry some heavy fluid on board, so the thrust actually comes from the "kinetic energy" accumulated in that fluid.

So, it's not going to provide free propulsion, but it may come in handy if you're ever shot at with a heat-seeking missile, since the exhaust of this engine is perfectly cool.

A few years ago, the school where I work decided to change its Alma Mater because nobody could remember the tune, and much less the words. There was a contests and, what do you know, I won (against very little competition, truth be said). Read on to see the words and hear the music of "IIT, You Mean to Me" (or, "IIT, you're mean to me," as most people sing it). You can hear the music by clicking the little player below the words.
