Well, you actually can compresses compressed air (you see this in multiple compressors in series with intercoolers between them, to keep the gas temp from getting to high).

A jet engine provides it own compression (as was been mentioned by Red_Duce). That actually is what a jet turbine does. Without the compression, you basically are just burning kerosene in a lantern...

Right, and those don't exist anywhere in the world, silly me...




Google "marine turbocharger" if you're bored.

Trust me, they get bigger than that, haha.
