!!!!!! success !!!!!! keep in mind this is just a simple one time use type of jar, lol, but i use a soup can an hot glued the top back on, then made a 5/8" round... well more like cir-quare-tangle, hole in the top :P, filled the bottom with some 70% rubbing alcohol, and i got like a whooooff, pop ,p...

i went to canadian tire today and couldnt find anything! i saw the STP water remover, and it felt pressurized like you said, but wasnt sure about it since it said nothin about methanol. could a propane product work? not straight propane,(BLAM! lol) but like hairspray, axe etc?

ive seen the stuff that removes water! ill check it out next time im there.
what about octane booster??? whats in that stuff?

thanks for the help!

i looked everwhere and i could not find HEET around here!!! (wtf!?! lol) whats the second/third best fuel for a jam-jar????

would you say denatured alcohol is as good as methanol? any other products, like HEET, that you would recomend???

Thanks,

nvm this post. i was going to ask of a pic but i got one.....

i actually saw 99% rubbing alcohol at wal-mart today, but forgot to pick it up, duh (lol). ill buy it next time im workin.

can i run a jam-jar pulse jet on rubbing alcohol? just wondering........

I am hoping it will spin kinda fast....like 1000 rpm if possible and under.
might be a bit much. also i wont be powering anything with this so no worries there. I'll post some pics when i get it done.
untill then thanks for the info

this might get confusing... there are 2 cans used in this. the image at the top, is the bottom of one can with no sides. the image on the bottom is the bottom of the other can with higher sides .(to keep in the fuel) the line in the middle of the bottom image would be some sort of nut and bolt confi...

this has been on my mind for a while and its kinda stupid but....
is it possible to make a turbine using a pop can???
lol
let me know what you think.

i did a little experiment and took a empty and dry 500ml water bottle with the cap on, put a small hole in the side put hairy spray in it, lit it, and belive it or not ....it buzzzed!! well for a second or two then the bottle collaspted, melted pretty flat and now the garage stinks like crap... ooop...

Cool but sounds a bit complicated i think ill go with the valveless pulse jet
but how loud are they exactly and ive heard they consume alot of fuel is that true?

in the last couple of days ive been reading up on pulse jets and someone made a crude pulse jet using a empty jam jar or mayonaise jar?:S
everytime i look in google a recipe comes up explaining how to make strawberry jam, so what are these things and how are they made.
and ill shut up after.

can someone send a link on how they work or are they closely related to another type of jet engine? :?
