Re: Odds and ends

You can get those aluminium bottles in bulk from aliexpress and taobao, No idea how much it would cost to get a custom shape made up. Too much, probably, and what would you do wth 10,000 aluminium pulsejets anyway?

Re: Odds and ends

Like the dog.

Mind you, if you're going to go to such extremes to justify beer drinking, you could at least pick something better than Bud Light.

Re: Lovely video...

Yep, that's clear pvc. IIRC Mark had a bunch of borosilicate tubing a while back, but going from "bits of clear tubing" to "clear pulsejet" is a far from easy step. Even if it's only going to run for a few pulses at a time. Not sure if Nick didn't do something, waaay back when in the days of the old...

Re: Pulse Jet Compression

No, I'm spartacus! For the questions: 1 - Maybe, maybe not. How long is a piece of string? 2 - When steel goes yellow it's >1000°C, and that's without taking into account boudary layer cooling 3 - Compression is not necessarily directly related to SPL. "Bloody loud", like all pulsejets. 4 - Frequenc...

Lovely video...

I'm posting this in valveless, but it's relevant to valved as well. I could have put it in Mark's youtube thread in offtopic, but I think it's good enough to merit its own thread. Basically, what we have here is a guy filming a big clear spudgun in extreme slow motion, and although he's not (entirel...

Re: would this be considered a low frequency rudimentary pul

Oh, it's yours?

In that case, you're not feeding it nearly enough. No regulator, lose the hole in the CC, shove a rosscojector up the intake.

Re: would this be considered a low frequency rudimentary pul

That's a "pipewood", a Lockwood-Hiller "ish" jet made from off-the-shelf plumbing parts. Invented by our very own Mike Everman, if memory serves. Search here for plans.

Re: Tips for starting a big Lockwood hiller.

<rolls up sleeves> Okay, for the moment, put away your injector. And your sparkplugs / oily rags / fireworks. Make yourself a rosscojector. http://www.pulse-jets.com/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1902#p21887 Make with a 90° bend in it so you can handhold it in the intake without burning your hand off, ...
