im not saying thats what ill use it for, im just wondering if anyone on this site has ever built a jet engine of any sort. i know a few things about them, but i really want to get some feedback from someone who has experience with one. that or we could just come up with ideas of what you could do with a jet engine. for example you could use it to toast smores, or even put a frying pan over the flame and make your breakfast.

i have seen a video of a guy on a homemade go cart frame with one of those on it. it looked like he was going pretty fast for a little engine. i was interested in building one one time also but i couldnt figure out exactly how it worked. doesnt look ALL that complicated though

yeah, their not too complicated, you basically have an intake, an exhaust, an ignition chamber, a turbine and a fuel injection... doesn't look too complicated, but....

Guys, comon. Please search before you post.
We had a detailed Pulse Jet Questions thread just last week:
http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/pulse-j ... ter,0.html
There have been several in the past, also. Search "pulsejet" or "pulse AND jet" in the search box.
Peace,
