Re: Few Quick Questions...

Fterh, Hey Ft, for your air supply "in the field" consider a petrol powered leaf blow from ebay, you can find some nice little bargains on their. Alternatively, I have a friend working on gearing a lawn mower or chain saw engine to one of the ducted fans on harbour freight, not a bad idea, he geare...

Re: Few Quick Questions...

Re: Few Quick Questions...

Hey guys.. in my country we don't have autumn (sad) so nobody keeps a leaf blower.. Also if you have visited SG we live in those vertical blocks of buildings (HDB fyi :D) so setting off a ramjet will pretty much piss off the neighbors... I'm planning to hit the parks to test it, I'm thinking of gett...

Nice explaination, but too deep for me to understand.

Oh my country doesn't sell JB weld.. bummer.. :(

Re: Few Quick Questions...

Thats what the flameholder is for (in a ramjet at least) It makes sure the flame does not blow out and also " forces" the fuel to be burned inside the combustion chamber rather then out by the exhaust. I did some research about the flame holder... but I still don't understand: 1) How the flame hold...

Re: Few Quick Questions...

Sounds like you want to build a ramjet and by the looks of your post I think it is save to asume you do not have a welder(?) I don't recomend trying it with wire and foil. A ramjet needs a smooth surface to work properly and the temperatures will be so high that the aluminium will melt. strength mi...

Few Quick Questions...

I'm thinking of setting up a tiny engine but got some doubts. It's not a pulsejet, but it works like one cuz there are no moving parts. I'll construct a chamber using maybe steel wire reinforced with several layers of aluminum foil (I'll worry about the melting points later). I'll maybe get some lig...
