Over the next month or so I'll show you how I build pulsejet engines for RC planes and other models. This video starts by showing you the raw materials and the tools that I use.

I'll be sending one of these RC plane pulsejet engines to Alf in Norway (see him on the Ringebu RC channel "rcgutt" and another to Alishanmao in China).

"Stay tuned -- more [pulsejet build] videos are coming" :-)

  • @xjet part 2 coming anytime soon?

  • @jrmurd Yep, hoping to get it done before the end of the month. So much to do, so little time ;-)

  • when will vid 2 be up? really looking forward to it been waiting for about 3 months! =(

  • @madhazza023 It'll be another 2-3 weeks. I'm just renovating the workshop and moving stuff around to make it much easier to do the videos.

  • Is it possible to make a pulsejet using regular not-stainless steel? Do I really need a TIG welding machine? I have only a MIG.

  • @AnttiMaeki You can use a MIG and regular steel but the engine will not be light enough to power an RC plane.

  • Looking forward to the next part/s of this. Been waiting for some time now. :0

  • hey can you show us how to build a jet engine like a turbine i hear its simple but they waste lots of fuel

  • @xjet do you think i could make a pulse jet from threaded steel pipe and fittings? it would probably be too heavy to mount on a plane, but i was thinking of maybe putting it on a go cart. (wooden, normally gravity powered go cart)

  • waiting for part 2

  • We'll fly the snot out of it - Love it!!

  • Very Cool. I made a pulse jet in my dads shop as a kid. It would be fun to build a more professional version now that I have a fully equipped shop. I would be interested in seeing the spinning lathe in operation as well. Also a part 2 to this video series would be stellar. Thanks -- TMFA
