Well, I don't blame them. I was closely involved in the process of building and testing of six or seven different pulsejets of relatively novel layout. Each and every one was incredibly frustrating. Only two resulted in a tolerably well running engine. Are these results on a webpage somewhere? Puls...

And, if the hair was on the palms, it should not have grown there in the first place! Nah, it grows back soon enough :) Can’t say I understand anything. Can't blame you. What I tried to explain was, I'll just start with the simplest possible annular configuration with the simplest rules (ie. stra...

That's what makes it a Lockwood. There's a Lockwood with just a short cone in the end of the tailpipe, here: http:...

Just a minute!

"Heck, I can build one of those and now THAT seems an affordable way to get a kick in the pants / to get some fireballs and g...
