Re: Finally trying that Thunderchine...

CONGRATULATIONS , WELL DONE , :D That hedge sure took a bashing , good to see that , IMHO the engine quit due to a lack of fuel , one of the problems with liquid propane , is the refrigerant effect, the change from liquid state to vapor state causes a huge temperature drop , and you state that it to...

Re: There was once a Atomjet ...

Looking Good Francisco, (as allways) nice work ,
I experimented with different fuel nozzle designs , and found it difficult to better the Dynajet style , but I dont have a lathe and I am sure there are other styles that may be much better , please do post some updates , good to see you back here :D

Re: Finally trying that Thunderchine...

Hi Z, Thanks for posting the vid , I agree the engine almost reached resonant running at the point where it blew the rag out of the intake , There is no question about it, the engine will sustain with both inlets open IF; a, the engine is "in spec" b, there is enough fuel c, you keep the starting ai...

Re: Finally trying that Thunderchine...

I Agree with what Anders says, re vapor coil length , you are probably short , do consider some external heating ,

wrt running on vapor , you are way short on cylinder size , if you cant get a larger cylinder or paralell up multiple smaller cylinders you wont get that engine to start on vapor :(

Re: Running a no-weld pulsejet

Hi James , Sorry for not replying , been busy , I too worry about the garden hose , that stuff is not suitable , its not fuel proof , and please do try to find a small can , about the size of a soda can would be good 250cc or so, and they are best not sealed , apart from the fact that you need to al...

Re: Finally trying that Thunderchine...

Hi Zohrke, welcome back , I have not run my engine on Liquid propane yet so I cant really comment on the injector sizing , but ; The coil looks good , that zone gets plenty hot , The injector placement at about 50 mm in from the flare sounds about right , Personally I would consider crimping the cen...

Re: Running a no-weld pulsejet

Re: Towards a wood fueled pulsejet

Man thats amazing , really cool , one thing , that engine sounds like its running at about 1/3 throttle, will it run higher ? if not needs a bigger injector , I do understand that you dont want to wreck your blower , but its in my destructive nature to take things to their limit and beyond , just ca...

Re: Running a no-weld pulsejet

Hi James , the ventri looks good , have attached a couple of photos an a pdf , this should give you an idea , very crude , but works , the flow control is something you will have to find , there are many different types , pretty well any of them should work, you just need some way of adjusting the m...

Re: Running a no-weld pulsejet

Butane is not so bad , it gets a bad reputation because the pressure drops to pretty well zero in cold weather and usually comes in very small containers , think disposable , these really are of little use to pulsejets , especially of the size engine you have there , I agree with Simon try a rosscoj...
