Pulse Detonation Wave : Alcohol @ 70 %
Testing just for fun..
Im only getting a single Pulse from the crude Models.
In Practical applications - They can use these most Energetic jets.

  • id bet that you could get detonation if you could light it from the bottom. to get detonation, the shockwave the expansion of gas has to be faster than the speed of sound.

    be careful though. really.

    Thank you for the comment check out the playing with nitro video ..it works youtube.com/watch?v=sS9zNkz5kX­E

  • Truly it was a deflagration not detonation. Detonation requires a supersonic wave front. Detonation in a plastic bottle would end with plastic shrapnel. Love the static-x.

  • Nice try! Add some turbulance & pump acetylene in and try again.

    Oh & hide around the corner while your little sister lights it :-)

  • @kjbaran

    It had the same effect .

    And it's good to hear from you again my friend !!!

    I hope you and your family are Doing well !!

    How is the Tesla Coil comming along ??

    I am Working with some RSG's and a Mot Power Supply for a new Coil.

  • Yup. What do you think you would get if the nozzle was inverted?

  • @kjbaran Thank you for your comment !! Yes and nozzel sizes as well ..

    The the glass jar had squared corners and was not Perfectly Symmetrical. I realized that No tapered-tip at the ignition source and the squared corners caused The Wrong Wave Effect. The tapered Tip and nozzel size as well as the Air/Fuel Ratio ( As you said )

    of The other Container formed the Wave and made a Very Unique sound.

  • Hmmm, have you tried different amounts of propellant with the jar version? Combustion can be regulated with the whole fuel/air mixture thing.
