The pink is when it gets to white, as in WHITE HOT. The steel was only maybe a hundred degrees below the melting point. Yes they really were pushing this engine. That is NOT the way to run an engine in flight unless you want the chance of a catestrophic accident.An engine would normally have heat sink attached (such as the body of an aircraft).
@BankaiIchigo12345 looks and sounds like a pulse jet to me. which, in that case, NEEDS the hot metal for proper combustion. cooling it makes it inefficient
@BankaiIchigo12345 read about them. when they are in the air the air moving by cools them. also metal will hold its form even when white hot. no combustable gas can raise steel to its melting point, you would need coke for that.
Hydrogen or Acetalene can, when either of these gasses is burned in the presnce of pure oxygen. I thought others might as well, such as propane, or jet fuel?
@BankaiIchigo12345 you can run them off of propane,butane,alcohol,gas,propane,and many other fuels that are liquid or a gas (state of matter not fuel used in cars) but propane is the most used it is easy and cheap to use and alcohol is harder to use you need a form of pump and flashback arresters so you don't blow your self up butane can be used but due to the hard to get quality and expensive to it is not used
Does the barrel glow bright pink like that in person? or is it only the camera picking up theIR radiation comming off it? Sorta like how some cameras can pick up the IR led in TV remotes.
@guitgeo These things aren't really that dangerous, I wouldn't stand that close by choice but I wouldn't be particularly worried about being that close.
The jet gets hot, which emits infrared light. The camera is actually more sensitive to infrared than to normal, human-visible light (since the CCD chip is silicon-based). Hence, it only looks white-hot in the video. In reality, it's probably only red hot.
In fact, they DO! :-) But, you can still see IR with these cameras; a quick test is to point your remote control at a video camera and start mashing buttons. If you see a small glimmer or blinking light (you'll probably need to use a darkened room for newer cameras), then you know the camera can capture IR light. Note it'll tend to appear white too.
Because there's no better place to test a pulse jet engine.

How do they keep the engine from melting?
Shouldn't it just be red hot, NOT WHITE HOT (indication of overheating)?

Now balance your fuel pressure regulator,pressure against the sliding collar air control valve, and you have a jet,as opposed to rocket.

still... no denying that's HOT

White hot engine? Wow. How did it not melt?
And what's this engine for anyway? Are you thinking of taking a trip to Mars or something?

Maybeit uses titanium thats why it wont melt.
