Someone needs to get in touch with Jet Propulsion Laboratory and
Aerojet, they have the wrong names! ;^)


From the ever-authoritative Wikipedia:

A jet engine is a reaction engine that discharges a fast
moving jet which generates thrust by jet propulsion in
accordance with Newton's laws of motion. This broad
definition of jet engines includes turbojets, turbofans,
rockets, ramjets, and pulse jets. In general, most jet
engines are internal combustion engines[1] but non-
combusting forms also exist.

In common parlance, the term jet engine loosely refers
to an internal combustion airbreathing jet engine (a
duct engine). These typically consist of an engine with
a rotary (rotating) air compressor powered by a turbine
("Brayton cycle"), with the leftover power providing
thrust via a propelling nozzle...


So, yeah, in the strict technical sense you are correct: Any reaction
motor that discharges a jet of exhaust can be called a jet. But I'm
going to claim the broad low ground of "common parlance."

Anyhow, your winch project with Bob Korves is looking good!

Let me know if you need some occasional welding or fabrication. If
you've got one Bob K. on your project, two is going to be better,
right?

Thanks, (the other) Bob K.
