I can't imagine a pulsejet staying running when you slap that contraption on the tail!
Mike Often wrong, never unsure.

Re: Interesting valveless patent
I've been sitting on the Ghougasian patent for years without understanding it. But then, as I have admitted before, my intelligence is not what it used to be. Is anyone here wiser and can offer explanation?
Re: Interesting valveless patent
Looks to me like the design is trying to both act as some compacitance and also an augmenter. Most of you guys are old enough to remember the first designs of commercial jet engines. Remember the scalloped exhausts? What they were trying to do was use the scallops to enhance the mixing of the exhaust withoutside entrained air, kind of an external augmenter.
I'm writing an automated airplane designer in java, useful later when you guys get ready to bolt a p-jet onto some wings

And some of us were even involved in the first experiments with the wheel ;-)
As to the patent, I actually haven't the faintest what he was aiming at. And that's after a 3rd reading.

Re: Interesting valveless patent
I've spent about a half hour so far reading through it and labeling the figures. It does not seem to be a valveless design -- the things labeled 45 are check-valves and the thing labeled 49 is an "optional bypass check-valve".
At this point, I think that I understand pretty well how the thing is put together, but I don't have much insight into the rationale of the design.
