Hi stoffe64,
Have a look for Bruce Simpsons Pulse Jet powered Dragster on Youtube.
The engines on that were really big Lockwood Pulse Jets.
There are better pulse jets out there - for instance see Eric's site - Beck Technologies.
The Lockwood seems to be the most known one out there - it has it's disadvantages though
- sucks fuel like there's no tomorrow ...
Big Pulse Jets also have big problems as they can totally screw up your body.
I know it's sounds a bit rude - but - the main consideration basically comes down to -
"How much money are you willing to spend?"
Just my 2 cents worth...
