Heres a video of the thermalpulse 180-18 going through the throttle range. The advanced injector really does a good job. Its extremely extremely loud, and actually causes the ground to vibrate in quite a large area.

The ThermalPulse 180 is a valveless pulsejet designed by Beck Technologies.

A valveless pulsejet is a unique type of engine with no moving parts. Unlike ramjets, which must have air blown into them at high speed, either by a blower or by traveling very fast, pulsejets can run while completely still.

They can be throttled typically between 10% and 100% thrust in the blink of an eye, and dont require any spool up time like turbines or turbojets.

Because they have no moving parts, valveless pulse jets are much easier to own and operate than RC turbines. For the cost of a ducted fan setup, you could have your own real, high speed RC jet plane.

The truth is that by the time you add up turbojet planes engine weight, fuel and oil pump weight, the computerized control system, and any onboard starting systems, you not only have a small fortune invested in the plane, but its also quite heavy. Pulsejets can be made extremely light weight, and even valveless engines are capable of pumping their own liquid fuels by the venturi effect. All you then need is your standard reciever and servos and a small battery to power it, rather than a large battery to power a fuel pump.

  • propane tanks in the back and a red hot pipe a few feet away.Try bringing the propane tanks closer,usually safer that way/

  • @BeynenHater First of all, the camera man can stand next to the engine, and even behind it without catching on fire. Second white paint reflects away what little heat there is. Third propane expands so much in volume that it cools whatever container it is in as it is evaporating in the tank. And lastly, a jet engine shooting exhaust out the back at 500 mph means that a lot of cool air has to get sucked in from in front of the engine.

  • Putting that in rc-plane? Are you mad?

  • RIP headphone users

  • thats a brave man.. walking in front of the engine that way... I'd have never ever done that

  • flames are coming from the intake? is there no way to design a venturi that will take advantage of this to suck in even more air?

  • let's cook some eg's on it?

  • try to touch it...

  • try puttin your dick  there now...

  • and now....press your balls against it

  • @BeckTechnologies yes true , but you forgot to say that the propane tank is inside that foam-like isolater first , and second , in cold winters you can sometimes hear the gas inside the tank boiling , propane boils at 0.5 degrees celsius so sometimes you need to heat the tank a bit !

  • tooouuucchhh ittttt
