John, I understand the "radial" concept--huge fan of early turbines! My question was blade style. A bernoulli "furnace fan" type blower, or more of a turbocharger? Definitely understand the need for radial--significantly more torque from a column of air moving at roughly 1/ 4 the speed of a turbine ...

John, HMMMMMM...... your argument is very plausible. I've been thinking about this for some time. In a normal pulsejet configuration, you're saying that a scroll (did you mean bernoulli or centripetal) configuration would be the best way to extract energy as a free turbine? Also, if I'm using a turb...

Mr. Wallis,

I saw your video a long time ago on youtube, very impressive. Have you ever considered using the turbine to power a compressor?

Not currently an engineer here, but wanting some advice before I embark on a huge undertaking... Start a common valved (reed-type) pulsejet. Add a turbine at the exit, and a compressor at the front, somehow mechanically connected, either inside or outside the engine. Question 1: I know that for part...
