you have not answered my question?

[Orygyn]

Oh sorry I completely misinterpreted what you said. Unless you have some kind of really successful home business, you can't.

[arbighookasian]

how would you be able to get funding for such as project if you just work out of your home ? i might have the idea

[Orygyn]

What's the idea?

[arbighookasian]

if you could pump air into it by pressures of over 120 lb could have a dieseling effect but your engine had to withstand the pulse of detonation just like a diesel engine made out of heavy stuff maybe not a very practical way for aircraft, noise vibration , the experimental air craft cost them 230k $ engine weight 800 lbs generated power was around 100lb not a very practical amount for that kind of money, how would you be able to get funding for such as project if you just work out of your home

[Orygyn]

Hmmm, we'll see I guess.

[Orygyn]

Indeed. Brilliant device.

It is the same thing as a pulsejet but instead of the air fuel mixture undergoing deflagration it detonates. So instead of the combustion spreading by heat at subsonic speeds it spreads at supersonic speeds via compression shockwaves. You can make a pulsejet real simply out of just a jam jar. No moving parts.

[Orygyn]

Now that's a cool invention.
