Pulse Jets
A week or so ago I saw a rather neat Junkyard Wars episode on
pulse-jets. I'm also rather intrigued that it was felt to be a safe enough gadget to build for the TV show. It was an amazingly simple contraption, a jet with no moving parts. I was wondering where I could find out more about the history of these devices, and perhaps some information as to why they are apparently outdated and no longer in use. I believe they were used in the V2 rockets in WWII (?). |

Try typing "pulse jet" into your favorite search engine. That will get
you more information than you can assimilate in a few days. Ray "pervect" wrote in message ... A week or so ago I saw a rather neat Junkyard Wars episode on pulse-jets.

Do a search for "bruce simpson" pulsejet (bruce was the team-leader in that episode, and has a website on pulsejets.) |

pulse-jets. BRBR I'm curious why the pulse-jet keeps cropping up in discussions of possible or alleged advanced high-speed aircraft. Isn't the thing inefficient as heck? Matt Bille ) OPINIONS IN ALL POSTS ARE SOLELY THOSE OF THE AUTHOR |

Pulsejets and Pulse Detonation Engines are completely different devices, despite the similarity in name and the vague similarity in operating principle. (One important difference is that pulsejets went from concept to flying hardware very quickly, while PDEs have been The Engine Of The Future for nearly half a century now.) -- MOST launched 30 June; first light, 29 July; 5arcsec | Henry Spencer pointing, 10 Sept; first science, early Oct; all well. | |
