Jam Jar Pulse Jet Engine

[nitrojoe9]

you cant use fuels like gasoline. it has to be a slow burning fuel, which makes alchohol the perfect candidate. on a larger, regular pulse jet gasoline can be used. in this though, no

[Slicebit]

at first throught. you sounded like the dude from metal gear solid. Otacon!

[blunklaura]

How did you do it?Instructional vid. please!

[jack9102]

TO ALL WONDERING WHAT FUEL TO USE : ANYTHING LIKE 70% ALCOHOL, NITROMETHANE, OCTANE BOOSTERS (nos), OR EVEN GASOLIINE OR DIESEL.

[snk9045]

@jack9102 well alcohol works, i dont know about nos, Gas a diesel will make a fire in the can but not make the result u wanted.

[jack9102]

@snk9045 no not N2O, nitromethane is r/c car fuel. aka glo-fuel. and i tried gas and diesel, gas just goes woof and does nothing, but im still unsure of diesel...

[XLosSantosX]

@jack9102 I can use just diesel and it works?? Goes it long with diesel?

[jack9102]

@XLosSantosX dont know yet :D

[LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLing]

@jack9102 - Diesel only burns under pressure

[snk9045]

put the jar in all the way under water then hold it down with glue or blue tac and then freeze it and it will last till the ice melts (5 minuets)

[ferretfrenzy05]

wow nice, never saw one last that long glass wise. fyi ive done this many times and it never explodes, the glass jar usually just falls apart haha

[height198cm]

the bottom falls of ay. that hapens to mine the botom gets a crack all the way round and it falls of

[ferretfrenzy05]

o FYI, a good fuel to use is that traxxas nitro for rc cars...i used it and it worked really well, just make sure the engine is OUT before using it or else youll have a nasty little explosion to deal with...

[jack9102]

ya i caught my arm on fire doing that...

no burns tho-the fuel burned on my arm for about 30 seconds then flashed out...

[champyx86]

The foil heat spreader is a good idea, perhaps helping it to run for so long.

[bestSVMS]

the foil doesnt really do anything

if you want a heat spreader

take one of those copper cpu coolers

[demonofrazgriz333]

omg that work so good!

[quadcam24v]

wot fuels r best to use? i tried turps...didnt work lolz

[Bemine4fun]

I used a few ounces of Heet - it's a automotive fuel additive. There is cheaper stuff available, but this was handy for me.

[quadcam24v]

wow this is really neat...must try at some point

[tankboyben]

wow a 1.27min fart generating device

[zacefron89874]

lol

i didnt get it at first!lol

but now i do!

[elektroman2007]

Works better with unleaded gasoline. Use a bit more for a longer burn time.
