Hi everyone,
Before confirming/asking what I have learnt, I would like to thank you all to help and support me in my passion!
"AF330
Just wanted to welcome you and wish you the best of luck in the future. You have already gotten lots of help here and I hope to see you in an engineer's costume/pilot's uniform somewhere in the world some day!"
Thanks a lot for your welcome! I really appreciate, and yes, I hope to wear a pilot's uniform! It is my biggest dream, fly the A330! Well, again, thanks a lot for your great welcome MrSnuggles!
"This thread reminds me of some of my less successful tech reviews.
Hint: 13 year old french kid. Obviously bright but unfamiliar with any technical terms. May need description reduced to simplest form!
Suck, squeeze, bang, blow."
Thanks for your compliment! I loved your hint! But, I really don't mind technical words, even If I don't understand them! I really love to learn about aviation. I have noticed that there is alway something new to learn, when you finish with SELCAL, you don't understand A/THR, when you understand that, you get confused with Alpha Floor! You are absolutely right, when you say that I am unfamiliar with technical terms, but when It talks about aviation, I am ALWAYS ready to learn it! Thanks a lot for your post Fe Hoppy!
"Of course there are differences, this is just a basic explanation. And sorry, I'm not an instructor
Keep asking!!!"
No, don't say that Mecaniquito84! You really have helped me a lot! Thanks for your help!
I also would really like to thank TurbineD, DevX, barit1, Tu.114, lomapaseo and many more for their great explanations and answers on my boring and, I am sure, not professional questions that you expect on this forum.
Thanks a lot to everyone!
Well, let's say that I have more or less got the concept, and here is a nice photo that I found:

The APU BLEED AIR goes inside a compressor, it travels in different pipes to the accessory drive section, which is outside the aircraft, and then enters inside the gear box, where it stops it's route and turns an impeller, which turns the horizontal drive shaft, then turns the radial drive shaft by the help of the transfer gearbox, am I right till here?
Thanks a lot to confirm and help!
