Longest run yet of the pulsejet... water cooling seems to be the key. BTW that is dad at the end, not me lol.

you know.. if you put magnets on the bottom of that thing... and

put some springs there. and coils underneigth.. the vibrations would generate electricity.

@josephdupont

True, but it would be nowhere near enough to be useful. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should! ;)

how big was the hole u drilled?

[Insomniac535]

@MrRedneck107

A bit over a cm across... There is no set size that works, it depends on the dimensions of the can.

Why does it need cooling if its using a metal can? I doubt the temperature will get hot enough the tin can. Though it is needed for the glass jar types

[Insomniac535]

@danagol1985 It's to keep the fuel from vapourising too quickly, which suffocates the engine. The can will never get hot enough to melt.

@Insomniac535 how big is the hole?

[Bloxkorner]

@Insomniac535 excuse me...can we use gasoline ????

@Insomniac535 for some reason when i use metho it doesn't work very well, its ok with nitro methanol but otherwise it whooshes and then stops. BTW how do you keep it under the water. i know how to for my one but i was just wondering how you set yours up.

It looked like the water was near boiling at one point. A new way to heat a can of soup - using a soup can engine.
