70 year old pulse jet

Post by pulse jet hobbiest » Fri Aug 12, 2011 3:42 am

I got a pulse jet from my grandpa the last time it was started was in the late 1930's it has 2 chambers the first one is the fuel/air mixing chamber the second is the commbustion chamber. Those are some of the details.

Hi, Hobbiest,
If you can describe your pulsejet engine and may be willing to sell it, I might be interested. I formerly worked for Dyna-Jet and have been collecting all sorts of p-js. I need to know its size and if you have instructions. If you send en+
ough information, I might be able to identify it.

Hobbiest,
If your engine is a true pulsejet, I seriously doubt that it is as old as you think. The earliest successful U. S. model p-j was the Minijet, first marketed in 1946. The second was the Dyna-Jet of 1947 (I worked there for 5 years.)
A good photograph or accurate description with dimensions would help in identifying it.
Try to supply that information and I will consider making a bid to buy it.
Thanks.
Jerry

Hobbiest,
If it is a Minijet, I already have the 2 versions. It was introduced by James Kloth and others at G. M. Gianinni Co. in CA, in 1946. If it is truly a prototype rather than a die cast production version, I'd like to see it. If it has a serial number on the cast central, square portion, I will not make an offer.
Thanks.
