big pulse-jet near 100% full throttle

Finally, it runs again. I didn't change anything. The only difference is that I used a leafblower. First run was longer but I forgot to press record (...), 2nd run lasted about 2 seconds before one of the orange fuel lines blew of. this video is run nr 3. Full liquid tap ending in a massive flameout. One of the fuel lines vibrated of the engine and blew out.. I WELDED those things on! fackin' hell Razz you can't quite see here but the engine is jumping around and the top intake is jiggling. there is also a small leak in on of the ss fuel lines, that's where the line broke.

what was the thrust you got with this engine..

[1metiz]

@neem2345 Never tested it. The engine was pretty shit, and the build quality was horendous. It could've been anywhere from 50 to 200 pounds. I think about 150
