is it possible to start a pulsejet without a sparkplug? how?

Propane torch at the end of the tailpipe. I like using the torch because it doesn't go out easily.

yes!!

The famous Italian Zanin engines, the Rolls Royce of valved pulsejets, never used the spark plug, but a kind of a kitchen gas igniter on a long stick, which you simply pushed up the engine tailpipe so that the tip would enter the chamber. Once the engine caught, you simply pulled the thing out. The advantage was one less fitting on the engine and appreciably less mass. This was important in flying model competition.

Hahaha, Francisco! I do believe that is the very first picture I've seen of a pulsejet running on a city sidewalk.

that tears it. I've got to lay in a case of sparklers!

that pulsejet was encendio for New Year and Christmas in the street. for that reason the 7 denunciations by noises the noises were listened to from 4 blocks!
