JPL

I do believe Matt has or has access to this document as it is sighted in the biographical section of his p-jet report (woohoo I made the biography too):

http://www.carbonos.com/pulsejet/

Some good reading too.

Helium

Viv, I think I have to majority of the Helium system but I haven't messed with the cryopump at all. I've been just itching to dismantle the T-Mole-Pump to get at the rotors, but I think I'll just keep it complete for the moment. For those that have never seen the rotors/stators on one of these, chec...

One word

One word Viv, "EBAY" I was looking at the molec. pumps because of they have some pretty funky compressor blades and snagged one on eBay for about $50. The guy didn't know what it was and sent it as well as some other misc. pieces, one of which was a cryo pump. So Shane got himself about $15000 worth...

Sucking the grey off a battleship..

Whilst looking for some super sucker projects I came across this article for those that are interested in things that suck:

Really Sux

I have a 5x10^-7 Torr cryo/turbo molecular pump and some other toys that can suck a Boeing 747 through a garden hose, I might just have to retrofit it a bit and try some vacuum-forming as I was messing with the pumps for some plasma stuff and it didn't even dawn on me for vac forming.

Spark

Unless Darth Bruce has changed that circuit diagram lately, it does not function or does not function correctly.

Jectors

Unfortunately what you ask, is like asking for a sparkplug for a 150hp engine, there are 200 diferent 150hp engine configurations out there.. There are many variables: Internal direct inject External 100 different types of fuels Position within the interior/exterior Size of the combustion chamber Sp...

Big lakes

I've often wondered how those things would fair when foul weather sets in. That's probably one of the reasons they're not so mainstream as big-ass waves would pretty much put them out of action I would think.

ethylene

Is ethylene in a gaseous state then? I haven't messed much with it. If ethylene is in the liquid state however it will be essentially uncompressable like water. You can put 8000psi on it and when you open the valve, your going to get a few cc's of the fluid by the time it's back to zero. The only wa...

Boomsticks

It appears you do not know the fundamentals with respect to this type of engine. You should have a good read through Kenneths site here as were as other sources around. Best bet is to build you jet first so you get some experience in it's workings and then once you've gotten the hang of it, then sta...

RC

You could use an rc-servo on a fuel needle valve. But also remember there is a point at which the p-jet will not function so it is impossible to throttle it from 0 to 100% unless you can add enough weight to the car so that at the minumum thrust ouput the car won't move or combine the decelleration ...

What type of system are you going to use to pressurize the fuel cylinder?
