Well I tried and I failed. At -4C it was realy a lost cause. Sorry Barry, this will have to wait 'till warmer days I'm afraid :?

As for the setup: I used a 7mm ext. 6mm int. pipe with 2mm slit Rossco's. The injectors were about 70 mm inside the intakes. Hoping that liquid propane would let me run this engine in these temps, I hooked up 2 tanks: 1 for vapour and one for liquid. No dice. It's just to cold. When I opened the liquid even a bit the engine simply flamed out.

For my next test, anyone have any remarks or suggestions for better injecor(s)(positions)?

Ithink some explaining is necesary ,
Some time ago I made a very hasty video for Anders , showing how to make the 3 lobe crimped end style of injector ,
when I made this epic production I had just returned home from work, and i am ashamed to say MY HANDS WERE FILTHY , especially the nails, :oops:

I have therefore kept this off forum and out of the public domain ,

I will make another video taking the appropriate precautions and post it somewhere here for the benefit of anyone who may wish to try this ,

I'm betting those hands look "GRIM" indeed!

The chances of us seeing that video seems "GRIM"!

Ok I tried the engine again one one tank without further modifications. I blocked one intake with a wet rag and fired my propane tank up (litterally) to get some more pressure. I did get it to run but only on one intake. the first attempt was significantly better then the other ones beacause after that, I accedentally blocked one of the injectors with the rag.

Don't know about this one. The intakes might simply be to big. 48mm intakes instead of 50 might be a good next step.

Maybe you need a leaf blower to get more air for starting :wink:

By the way, I had also the cold wheater problem with my pulsejet. Because in the summer I work allmost the whole week or I'm on vacation, and the rest of the year I'm busy with school and so on, so I've most of my time at Christmas holiday.
And despite the global warming, it had frozen very often in the Netherlands the last two years(for the standards) :(
