Pulse Jet

Post by ToxicGumbo »

Something I haven't seen mentioned on the forum: FreeEMS + Pulse Jet. Thoughts?

Here's an obligatory description of pulse jets sourced from New Zealand.

And everyone's favorite, Wikipedia.

You could use it like that with some sort of fake decoder module and custom algorithm and either an air speed sensor or a MAF in front I suppose :-)

Then you could tune the mixture for best effect/resonance.

Ignition wise it'd be more like a bbq starter mechanism, no need for timed/continuous ignition in those.
