To see a simple form is to see potential for its growth. A cylinder can become more than just those simple forms that were all familiar with. As my exploration of the cylinder’s industrial usage continues I’m beginning to see more and more how the cylinder is put to use, and how it only takes a slight variation in order for it to achieve a specified purpose or task. That purpose is what is beginning to peak my interest. This is especially true when it comes down to the jet engine, cylinders are used to make thrust, the power that makes planes float through the sky. It’s incredible the amount of engineering it takes to make these power plants work, yet the basis for it is the same idea as a venturi burner with the addition of propeller blades… dozens of prop jet blades. It’s an interesting connection to make and something that may lead to a greater understanding of the cylinder.
