Here is a small project of mine where I set out to scale down the principlas of ramjet engines. I made use of regular 3/4" black gas pipe nipples/caps/bushings, some control valves and an air compressor. Got some interesting results! The still shot in the beginning was accomplished by introducing kerosene into the fuel so that the shockwaves would be visible otherwise, propane would not be as illustrative.

  • whoa thats cool but too bad the metal isn't up to it

  • Was there any measurable thrust with this jet? 7 diamonds is kinda impressive.
