An old friend of mine that I used to get into some serious shenanigans with designs jet engines (he has a PhD in aerospace mechanical engineering from Princeton) and I keep trying to get him to design me a pulse jet like this guy and he won’t do it. Some bullshit about not wanting to be responsible for my untimely demise.
Tell him you promise to keep yer pecker out of it. He should be fine with that........

Made a basic pulse jet with my friend in our teens

Took a fire extinguisher and cut the top off

Strapped a dremel with a 45 degree bevel tip that we used as “points”

I think we wound up using 3 spark plugs from the garage

We could get about 30-40 seconds of pulses about best. First time we had a few in a row it knocked over the snack table we used lol

I might be wrong but I think I remember seeing a plan for a pulse jet engine "The Boy Mechanic" but I don't remember which issue.
