ok, i've been browsing around google today, and now i want to make a jet engine.. im not going to say exactly why, but lets just say it will be funny. if any of you have ever built a pulse jet engine of any sort, please drop me some feedback, it would be much appreciated. thanks.

lol, now theres an idea. im not sure of what i'll do with it, might as well figure out how to exactly build one before i discover a use for it. but i have been eyeing my old golf cart for some time....

aah, a rebuilt golf cart engine will out do most of the pulse jet engines Ive seen on TV and stuff.

Why are you on about barbie jeeps....

The V1 rocket is what springs to my mind with pulse jet engines....

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....

i don't no much about pulse jets but i'm pretty sure there very easy to make but very fuel innefficient.

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,
