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...
Guys,
how do u ensure that the two stainless steel mugs, after cutting out the unnecessary portions will fit smoothly (like shown here: http://www.cottrillcyclodyne.com/Maggie ... aggie.html) How do u ensure that one of the mugs won't be like, much too big then the other?

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...

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...
