re: Thrust without reaction mass?

Well, haven't seen your post Mike, as I wrote the following. --- The comparison to a trebuchet (better think of those with wheels) was a good point. Makes for one of the easiest way understanding the principle. The trebuchet should feature a fixed weight and arm length, in which we only shorten the ...

Re: re: Valveless pulsejet to Stiga sledge

is that 07x's fuel injector pipe made from copper or steel? i dont understand what VA tubing means :/ Fricke is correct; it represents a certain class of stainless steel. For your interest: It is obvious, that I should not have written "VA steel". It turned out that it is, besides "V2A" or "V4A" a ...

Re: re: Valveless pulsejet to Stiga sledge

i printed 07x plans, but i found this too http://www.pulse-jets.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=3446 it seems to be like update, should i use it? Both ducts provide the same power level. Only the -07X-2 duct is shorter, where the -07X duct was tested more until today. I would recommend that you choose -...

Crass! Haven't I read that Kenneth was still "God" here? !)

Thus:

re: Yet another chinese valveless

Very nice one, Eric!

Do you have thrust, combustor ID, and OAL measurements at hand? Would be cool. Your decision, of course.

re: thickness of stainless

Sounds alright.

Maybe it is better to use 0.8 mm thick steel for the combustion chamber and transition cone. Which means thicker material for hotter sections.

re: School Project-- GOT QUESTIONS on -- K-PT 07X --

Okay, I assume you stated the tailpipe measurements in centimeters, correct? So, first thing I have to note is that you did not build exactly to spec, which could be a problem. Especially the largely oversized intake cone could cause some trouble. Anyway, without a spark plug you will have some hard...

re: School Project-- GOT QUESTIONS on -- K-PT 07X --

The injector, which I presented in the blueprints, is mostly referred to as a radial "swizzle-stick" injector . It simply consists of a pipe, which has been closed on one end, so that injection orifices could be drilled radially, most likely, near that closed end. There really is not anything specia...

re: Johanssons Jet-Cart

The GT-PC combination sounds like a very interesting experiment! That besides earlier PC-fan combination attempts.

Cool idea, Anders!
