Liquid Propane Valveless Pulse Jet RC Car

Demonstrating my medium sized Valveless Pulse (valveless thermojet) on the RC car fueled by a 14.7 OZ propane cylinder upside down to provide liquid fuel. On this size fuel cylinder it will run for 7-8 minutes and produce 6 pounds of max thrust. Throttled by servo actuated pneumatic/fluid ball valve.

is that a traxxas rustler?

have to be quicker next timew to catch ;)

[Aerosplice]

@1234Guitarman1234 Yeah it's a Traxxas Nitro Rustler! Great Guess!

Are you the same guy signed up for the N-Prize? I followed a link on wikipedia that made some pretty outstanding claims about a mini pulsejet. I have trouble believing them (not to call you a liar). The thing that really gets me is the claim of a 2-10 lb thrust gain with the addition of an augmenter and some ducting.

@jag9998 Hi there, Yeah, same guy from N-prize. I'm using pulse jets as alternatives to rocket boosters. The mini valveless is now at 6.5 pounds of thrust running on propylene. And the medium valveless is now up to 20 pounds of thrust on Propane with regenerative cooling. I've made some massive improvements on pulse jet design in the last 2 years. I'll have some videos of vertical pulse jet flights within a few weeks. should change some minds about pulse jet potential.

wtf holy shit lolzzzzzzz that was sick

ทำอะไรอ่ะ



[Benivator2]

wow thank you I hadn't known that a small tank could power an engine that size thank you.

[Maker0fRobots]

that WAS awesome

[TheBastered]

its loud like hell...but interesting it use jet thingy works..

[bbrockert]

@Aerosplice What ISP are you getting?

[youjustgotowned99]

wow , what a sound.

even when the pulsejet stops you still hear the echo.

ear protectors are required for this project :P

[vankmen1]

no it wasnt that was gayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[TakinYoCup]

@Aerosplice ok im not smart with like chemistry and stuff but propane burns right?....LIGHT IT ON FIRE! No but seriously that would be awesome...

[merzarockstar17]

Hey, that's awesome. I wanna build one too do you have plans for it?
