the reason i ask is on my last run, my ram jet kept pulsating. now i know it has nothing to do with hormonics at all however, but it did pulse regularly until the drop in fuel pressure disrupted this.... a vid will be on you tube with my others tomorrow....

in this video my cc was too short, and i had a large washer in the rear of the tail pipe just as a way to play around with different configurations. the washer keep wanting to be the flame holder, aslo i have lots of flameouts because my fuel pressure keeps droping and the blower is too close for th...

well technically, if it never reaches the sub atmospheric, there is no kadency breathing involved and that makes it a pulsating ram jet. right???

so im not the only one thinking of using an rc ducted fan. here is the thing about the ducting down the blower. i dont think it will matter so much, i think that a ram jet needs an amount of air moving at high speeds through a duct the same size as the difuser intrance. you could make the air moving...

i noticed a kool thing about my engine, my pressure manifold works in an interesting manner, at low air speeds, the pressure manifold acts as the flame holder and the area between the flame holder and the pressure maifold act as a mixing chamber. Then as air speed increases i hear a loud backfire, f...

augmentor design

well jim, neither of my jets have any heating problems. though i know they get really hot because a head bolt off of a car that i am using down the center of my jet gets red hot. the reason my casing stays cool i do believe is that i have really good laminar air flow across the inside surface. i hav...
