Bruno, thanks for induction solutions, check this out!

Some testing video, we could not add the nitrous and extra fuel or it flips the test stand over. As it is its anchored to the ground and it almost gets away. The final engine will be polished stainless. The guys at Induction solutions have a new market for their stuff now, pulse jet enhancement !!!

Never heard of a Pulse Jet Engine, what can you use them for?

Pulse jets have been around for a long time. They are most well know as the "Buzz Bomb" that Germany launched against England and Belgium durning World War 2. They were the engine of the worlds first cruise missile. They propelled a 3000 + lb missile 400+ mph. After the war, Ford Motor Co. produced them for the US military, taking the German design and improving on it. Ford's version was called the "Loon" cruise missile. Pulse jets are very simple in design, and can be built with or with out valves, the easiest of all jet engines to produce. The valved design makes the most power. Mine is a full scale copy , but with enhancements, full stainless steel construction, nitrous injection for higher power, and an improved tail cone . Pulse jets work off reversion, air is drawn in, fuel is injected to it, it passes through compression plates into the combustion chamber where its ignited, as the combustion expands it closes the intake valves and the exhaust rockets out the tail pipe. As the exhaust pressure falls a low pressure area is created behind the intake valves opening them to start the process all over again. A small amount of air is also drawn in from the tail pipe. This cycle happens hundreds of times per second, the engine actually looks like its constant running, but in fact it cycles on and off to fast to see. Its a very effective motor. Its only short coming is high fuel consumption. It burns 6 gallons a minute or more at full throttle. Thats why modern cruise missiles use turbo jets to have much longer range. Noise is also high at 140 db. , so its not stealthy. Pulse jets are becoming very common around the world today, you see them in everything from hobby size radio controled airplanes to go karts, bigger units in dragsters, even kits on regular peddle bicycles. Bob Maddox of Medford ,Oregon built mine, he's probably the most knowledgeable pulse jet man on the planet. If you google or you-tube his name you can see my engine, and tons of other sizes and applications he has built. Mine was built to take on Bonneville, so max thrust performance was the goal, thats why we went full scale on this motor, and made the mild steel proto type test engine shown in the video. The finished product is all stainless, show polished, with the improved tail cone. Much stronger, more heat resistant, and has adaptability to further enhancements we are working on. I really wanted to do something very different, but wanted the truck to stay all Ford. So the blown new 514 goes up front, and our copy of the Ford Loon motor goes out back. We call it double blue oval power! Let the fun begin!! Greg

that`s frikin cool:) good luck on the flats

cant wait to see the results greg !!!
