Heel goed en heel mooi ! The JT8D engines on the DC-9s, MDs and B-717 we flew required so many compressor stages. These pulsejets somehow manage to pull in (suck) enough air to keep the engine from Melting ........Dank je wel, tot ziens.
its an experimental engine, was developed back in the 40s by germany, in simple terms it detonates the fuel while regular engine just burn, it was thought that it could replace jet engines and turbofans, there being no moving parts and over all simpler, but they have been phased out by ramjets scramjets and most recently the SABRE engine
a properly tuned pulsejet produces significantly more thrust than an exhaust pipe. they are less effective than a conventional jet engine but produce enough thrust to easily power a plane. In fact the V1 flying bomb weighing 5000 lbs,was powered by a pulsejet engine, which the German Luftwaffe fired around 100 per day at London in WWII
Now, my idea was to mount one of those atop a small boat, anchored in the middle of a small private lake surrounded by homes owned by the fat cats and light the damn thin off at 3:00 am.
I can see the spark plug not being connected to anything, so there is no spark-induced explosion, right? The motion direction of the combustion gas is directed at the beginning by the compressor. This is the valveless pulseless jet engine :)
@ChineseSweatShoppe This is the first test, its just running stationairy because we didnt want to flip the tank yet. We will let it run on fluid propellant shortly.
Tyler Harrington that's not very nice. No need to call ppl dumb. Besides you're incorrect anyways. A welder didnt give the tube that curve lol. Most likely a mandrel bender.
In order to bend metal tubes like that, you need heat, and a bending tool. And for this tube, probably sand inside the tube to keep it from collapsing in on itself during the bending process.
Klopt, éérste test. En op zich viel het geluid op een paar meter afstand wel mee, heel zwaar diep geluid. Maarjah hij draait alleen nog maar stationair :P volgende keer zetten we de propaan in een bak water om het bevriezen tegen te gaan, en word de gastoevoer groter.
@GAV63 Actually, it sounds EXACTLY like a V1 rocket, because it had the same type of engine ! The V2 had an alcohol fueled rocket engine, not a pulse jet engine.

+Blitherer Masterman Potential for solid state operation, no need for excessive filtration. . . If I could damp the sound without reducing power significantly, I see no problems with such a design.
I'm studying mechanical engineering but don't understand what you said, could you please explain the function of the acoustic resonator and linear alternator?
Pulse jets are very inefficient due to their low compression ratio (at most 1.2:1). In addition your resonator would have a very short lifetime due to extreme fatigue in the materials used- this problem also affects pulse jets themselves if they are of the valved type (the valves wear out very quickly). You'd be much better off burning the gas in an 4-stroke piston engine spinning a traditional A/C generator. If you really must use a pulse jet, be aware that the vast majority of the heat from your fuel is going straight out the exhaust of the jet without doing anything useful (I'd imagine that you would be lucky to get more than 5% thermal efficiency). You could recover more energy by using the heat coming off the jet and its exhaust to boil water and drive a steam engine than you could get from directly driving some kind of resonator or turbine, though obviously it would be best to do both.
Unless you could develop a piezoelectric converter that could also make use of heat. . . Anyway, it's an interesting train of thought, somebody could make it work somehow, I'm sure. I just like the idea of a singing crystal making electric power I guess. Even 5% conversion would be pretty good around here where there is unlimited wood that is slowly oxidizing anyway. I reckon anything to be possible. Thanks for the input.
11 years late, but for a valveless pulsejet like this, some of the thrust produced goes out the intake nozzle. If the engine were straight, this would counteract the positive thrust in the direction of motion; to prevent this, the engine is curved so that all the thrust is pointed in the positive direction, instead of just some of it.
***** An electric fan will blow the grass around some but it isn't thrust. This is actually a ramjet and a ramjet does not creat static thrust. That is, when sitting still.
Now I don't know about this one but Colin furze built a bigger one and get's around 70lb of thrust out of it, enough to get his jet bike up to 40-50 MPH
Scooter George Pulsejets aren't considered ram engines (the valveless design as showed above couldn't be a ram air engine even if it wanted to because it's air intake is facing opposite the direction of it's intended motion), they can produce 100% of their maximum thrust while stationary. The designs with reed valves have their air intake facing forward, but I'm unsure if higher speeds would equal more thrust or higher detonations per minutes as I don't have any personal experience with valved designs. Although the engineer in me REALLY wants to make one. And perform experiments. Maybe one day
Scooter George If it blows the grass around then surely it is creating thrust! Just maybe not a lot, but for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. If it is able to bend 1 blade of grass, then the same amount of force required to bend the blade is also pushing the fan in the other direction. Obviously there is more to it than that, as air creates friction against other air molecules, so the grass doesn't have to move to signify thrust, but anything that is capable of blowing air out one end is producing thrust.
@telescopereplicator My Dad was 5yo in England when the V1 was bombing them they called it a buzz bomb, I can see why now. That exhaust is red hot, is there some way of harnessing that heat and turning it into more energy?
Fuel is being pumped into the larger combustion chamber from the propane cylinder and as you can see, he uses a compressed air tank to push air into the chamber to create an ideal fuel/air ratio. I see there is a spark plug attached but it appears he is using some other flammable medium to provide the ignition source. When the fuel/air mixture is ignited the shock wave from combustion blows out each end, but because one tube is longer, and one is shorter, the flame never leaves the longer tube. After combustion and the expansion of gasses has taken place there is a vacuum created inside the combustion chamber which pulls fresh air into the combustion chamber via the shorter tube, and because the flame never left the longer tube, it gets pulled back into the combustion chamber and re-lights the fresh mixture of fuel and air. This entire process happens extremely fast, many times a second.
Troy Thomas there’s no ignition source at all. The combustion is sustained without a spark ignition. It’s literally just a steel tube and some propane gas.
I can in theory:::: a pulcejet is just an open pipe that works becouse of ITS SHAPE....... hehe Notice the kone shaped exaust pipe! as soon as the fuel explode, it blasts out the EASYEST WAY,, THE EXAUST KONE, and create vacum sucking in air at the other end, which mixes with the pressurised fuel coming from the gas tank and it explodes again in the ignitionchamber WHICH IS HOT, thats why they preheat it! It goes faster and faster, no valves,, just explosion-pressure-VACUM,,, thats why we hear B-R-R-R-R-R-R-R hehe
To say this pulse jet does not have a valve is INCORRECT. It could not operate without a valve of some type. It needs the valve to ensure ONE WAY flow of combustion gases.
Hmmm. Read a little more about valveless pulsejets. www.pulse-jets.com. I have made a number of these. There is no valve. Indeed, in its simplest form, it is a straight through device. There is an inlet tube, an expansion chamber and an exhaust. There is nothing else other than the fuel jet. They are easy enough to make from pipe fittings. Just screw the things together, add fuel and start’em up. (Well, not quite that simple). Do a search on TH-cam for “uglystick pulse jet” or “plumbers pulse jet”
OK i see, but with the amount of propain there using by the frozen tank not sure the output thrust is anymore than that of a standard propain tube heater. I have seen Maddoxjets he boasts his have 250lbs thrust with reed valves.
I love the long propane hose (for safety reasons), and then leave the tank right next to the jet.
That is not only a nice but also powerful looking pulsejet! You should mount that on a bike or a canoe

So a similar principle to 2 stroke exhaust chambers then?

what about the doodle bugs? you obviously have never heard of the v1.
ok. this vid was uploaded over 18 months ago, made it into anything yet?
Since it appears nothing is holding it back. It's just sittinh on tha pallot, I'd say it's creating zero thrust.
