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I could find out more about the history of these devices, and perhaps some information as to why they are apparently outdated and no longer in use.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.) Well talk of the devil -- here I am (Bruce Simpson that is :-) Yep, I was the "expert" in for the pulsejet team and you can find out probabl;y more than you'd like to know by visting my website at http://aardvark.co.nz/pjet/ There's even some video of a 200lbs-thrust valveless pulsejet that is unique insomuch as it starts all by itself without the need for any forced air to get it going. There's also information on my X-Jet project which is a very high-performance pulsejet that produces TSFC figures of around 1.0-1.1, that's equivalent to a pure turbojet. It also has no moving parts. If anyone has any specific questions then fire away and I'll do my best to answer them. -- you can contact me via http://aardvark.co.nz/contact/ |

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I could find out more about the history of these devices, and perhaps some information as to why they are apparently outdated and no longer in use.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 (?). One of the big reasons they are out-dated, is the noise. They are incredibly loud, even compaired to other types of jet engines. Not to mention that the sound is a much lower bass sound, so it travels further than the higher pitched sound of a turbo jet. for some info on them try these pages. http://www.aardvark.co.nz/pjet/ http://home.earthlink.net/~famcaine/...s/PulseJet.htm The first one is a page by the expert from the Junkyard Wars show you mention. -Chuck.
