Yes but as for sustainability tell me how long do these things run for
at 60 and 70,000RPM and how often do you have to repair them??

Not necessarily. I joined [EMAIL PROTECTED] a
few weeks ago after learning that you can get everything you need from
a junk yard. People are buying auto turbochargers and back feeding the
compressor gasses to the exhaust turbine and adding some fuel and an
igniter (spark plug).
I'm just having trouble collecting data on efficiency for this
technique.

Hi
Emil;
I should have said that is not my page. I haven't built a conventional
type pulsejet. I just pulled the link from my bookmarks FYI.
I am more interested in the coanda effect and the ferroelectric effect.
The problem wih turbines is they are not very sustainable. You have to
have deep pockets to play with those things. I want something with no
moving parts. (other than phonons :-)
)
Just wanted to let you know there are surplus turbines available out
there.
Good luck
Joe

Hi Joe. When
you said Pulse-jet you reminded me of something I saw when I was a kid.
It was a small jet turbine that bolted onto your car’s differential. It
bolted in place of the rear differential cover and connected to your
fuel and electrical system. As the car ran down the highway, the
turbine came up to speed and you could flip a switch and inject fuel
into it for a boost. Primitive but effective. I bet one of these would
run well on biodiesel.
Your
pulse-jets are fabulous. At first I thought they were “scram-jets” but
then saw the turbine. Cool. How much to they cost?

This is not at all far
fetched. Several people are bulding teir own turbines and other things
like pulsejet engines etc. However you can get surplus APU's
(auxiliary power units) at bargain prices if you look around. Check
here: http://freespace.virgin.net/dyno.power/gasturbine/
Fun stuff! Pulse jets are not just for the military anymore! There is
even a guy talking about building his own personal cruise missile. =-O Talk about civil
disobedience!

Apparently, it's not as far
fetched as one might think. I'm still unsure of thermal efficiency and
if it's competitive with other cycles. In theory, it should be.
Has anyone done similar
research?
