How much thrust does one of those produce?

P!ssed off the neighbour a bit, but totally worth it. To get the full effect, you need to turn your bass up pretty much to the max, and crank your sound system way up. When it's uncomfortably loud, you're maybe 10% of the real volume.

Enjoy: pulsejet

Congrats

Are you going to put it to use somewhere?

It probably depends a lot on the size of the engine and it's design.. There are just too many variables with something like this.

It is a very simple engine, though.. so not very much, compared to a turbine jet engine at least.

Enough to push a go-kart or something though, probably. His engine was running at a very slow rate.

bump for the OP

this is pretty sweet

 

[Snapster]

Cool. Bump for fellow Brit. :beer:

 

[foghorn67]

awesome. Great ending.

 

[Tiamat]

ROFL when the neighbor yells at them

Nice! A friend who was into homebuilt helicopters built a propane pulsejet powered thing, although he never did more than a tethered run with it.
At first he thought he could wear it like a backpack, but that was a bit unwieldy.
I watched it go one time, and vowed to never be around it again. It started leaking propane from the swivel couplings in the center, and I could imagine the nice extra fireball you could get there in the operator seat.

Good work.

The pulsejet that my dad and I built looked a lot different. There was only 1 tube instead of the U shaped tube that you have.

Holy freakin' crap, that thing is MOVING! :shocked: Gotta be 100MPH, easy! I love how at the end, it just runs out of fuel and dies, but the flight controls are still working. The pilot guides it in for a silent landing. You gotta know what you're doing to be that good. I know that hobby isn't cheap at all...splintering the plane upon re-entry isn't an option.

Seriously fined 20K???
