Hey Mike, Thanks for putting this on the forum!
Ok
This is a approximetly 600mm Thermojet style pulse-jet that will push 5.2 pounds on propane. It has been run once to determine thrust. A sparkplug nut is welded on the front of the engine to allow for electric ignition, however, this engine can be started with a simple sparkler very easily to. It only needs a small bit of compressed air through one of the intakes to get going and after it has started, it will sustain on it's own. The welds have been ground down to what you see in the photographs. The injectors are welded onto the body of the engine for ease of use.
*Made from 1mm 304 stainless steel that will, if not abused, last a lifetime
*Will throttle to full power as fast as you can turn the fuel tap
*Will run on almost all fuels (even charcoal if you can make some sort of delivery system)
*once started, it will run on it's own without further ignition or compressed air requirements
*injectors made for gas fuels (propane)
*engine weighs 1200 grams
Although everyone probably knows this, for the sake of completion:
DISCLAIMER!
