Back in the '80s I worked at a company that made model pulse jets, Curtis Dyna Products. They called them Dyna Jets. They were indeed *loud*. Hearing protection was a must. A university bought some of them from us to use as experimental sound sources in their experiments to sonically sterlize soil. I never heard how those experiments worked out.
I still have two old dyna jets that were my grandpa’s. He used them on competition speed ships. Basically control line “planes”. I know one is complete but one is missing a few things.
Remember going to Wings and Wheel every year back in the late 80's and seeing these strapped to a delta wing plane.. I think it was something like "ghost squadron" team that flew them... certainly were show stoppers, with everyone, including those in the beer tents stopping to watch them fly.. sadly complains from the old folks home some 2 mile away meant that they got banned from flying them as subsequent wings and wheels shows...
I remember those very well. My dad did the whole RC aviation thing when I was a kid and I remember guys showing up at the RC airport with Dynajet powered planes and how astoundingly loud they were and how they would echo off of the tree line a mile away
We have lit a full scale of the eng that was used on the old buzz bomb used in the war back in the day, it will make your insides move in ways they never have and multiple layers of hearing protection is needed
HA! We had one of these in auto shop in high school. Finally convinced the teacher to run it one day. Made so much noise, the principal came down to see what was going on. The auto shop was about the furthest classroom from his office.
When I was a kid about 12, I had one of these; a Dynajet; thinking back I can see how marvelous it was. Once it got loose putting a big dent in my dad's nice wooden runabout boat. The scene in the TV series "Young Sheldon" where the rocket flies crazily through the house always makes me smile a bit.
I remember these from almost 70 years ago mountrf on model jet type planes-hand tossed-and flown at van Cortlandt Park in the upper n.w. Bronx. N.Y. -with all manner of free flight gas and iesel engine models plus the first tube 1 channel r.c. rudder only models-with the escapement wound up for use by long rubber bands. God Bless my brother who was interested in -and introduced me as a very young boy to such things! 50's America was an almost incomprenensibly better place in almost every way!
It's way more fuel efficient than I expected. Given the amount of fuel you added to the tank, I was thinking it was too little. It barely moved as far as I could see.
2kg as per the seller... but this is a consumable toy, you can only fire it so many times, it's too expensive if you can only play with it so little and so little time each time, valves only last 1 minute... aluminium body will melt eventually...
We made pulse jets at a company i used to work at in the '80s (Curtis Dyna Products) If you ran them too long and kept them stationary with no fan blowing over them, the stainless steel tubing would burn right through.
@@jbuchana I have a question for you. I know that pulse jets are very fuel inefficient but does that change with size or does it have more to do with simply how much fuel and air are run through the combustion chamber?
I made a U-contol plane of similar configuration to the V-1 out of thin Mosquito aircraft plywood powered by a Tiger Jet pulse jet and controlled with a Jim Walker U-REELY control way back in my teenage years (now 80). Scary noisy and glowed red hot when run stationary. I only flew it once because of the noise and the red glow. It was smaller than the Dyna Jet and rated at 2.5 pounds thrust. I eventually became an airline pilot now long retired. I still have the Tiger Jet engine but it hasn't been run for at least 65 years or so. I now fly a Silent2 Electro self launching glider which is much quieter :>)
I run mine on LPG. its a bit bigger and made from stainless steel, but has no reed valves to worry about. the supports are unable to stop the thrust from moving it, so I need to sit a few bricks on it, but yours is amazing, esp the cherry red heat.
Thats pretty cool. You took it out of town at least! I hear that video sound doesn't do it justice. Never heard one in real time but been told they are CRAZY loud
A V1 wasn't remotely controlled, it was autonomous. There are RC pulse jet powered planes around, though not many as there are too many noise complaints. ( Karen's everywhere )
Excellent man. Love this. I am curious to know how much decibel level this device created near the engine. Of course curious to know the fuel-power and efficiency if you had measured them.
Just got one of these from Stirling Kits. Haven’t tried it yet, working on some kind of stand. I like what you came up with and may copy it with your permission 🙂. I had to laugh when I saw the digital “thrust” scale, exactly the same one I have, purchased for the same purpose. Great minds think alike, fools seldom differ 🤔
I was in a model airplane club {control-line and free-flight} back in the 1970s. I remember seeing these things for sale in hobby shops -- specifically a brand called *_"Dyna-Jet"_* -- but as a teen I had nowhere near the money to buy one. I never saw one flown, but some of the members of the club had seen them and told me about it. When I remember the most is them telling me these pulse jets were *LOUD.*
Made a valveless PJ out of titanium a few years back. It's about 38" long with a 6" combustion chamber. I use propane to fuel it. Much easier to start and with valveless PJs you throttle them way back. Anyway, I start it with a Campbell Hausfeld 20 gallon direct drive air compressor. You know, the REALLY loud obnoxious ones. At full throttle, the PJ is so loud it completely swamps out the air compressor, to the point where you can't even tell it's running. I can feel my chest cavity resonate with the jet. Yeah... They're loud.
15y ago i build few super small ones , smallest one used 7.62 shell second one was 12g co2 bottle from asg (both needed sustained rly small amount of airflow to work- i used for that air pump from blood pressure monitor) ---- they were so loud that neighbours were annoyed when i turned them on
Cool as heck, think a good addition would be a venturi at the tailpipe connected to a sheath to get some airflow over that chamber. For static use, anyway.
I notice that the root of the slot between reed blades has a square end. This gives 2 stress riser points which could cause reed failure at the thinnest point of the blade. Try leaving a radius at the bottom of the slot. This should prolong reed life.
You might want to add a cross brace on your uprights. At that height your current stand might make the bearings less efficient and the readings could be well off.
I built several pulse jets 1980s - loudest thing ever - vibrate stuff of shelves in whole house - crazy heat - highest thrust 10 lbs - fire ball is size of 30 gallon trash can in dark - its impressive - way to loud -
Ja die V1 hat man so oder so nur einmal kommen hören. Hat man einen Einschlag überlebt war man danach allerdings Taub und die nächste definitiv nicht mehr kommen gehört.
Could you try running it on HydroDiesel. I think that would work and have been wanting to see someone with a pulse jet try that fuel. It may run considerably cooler with about the same amount of thrust.
Fuel to noise converter.
😂😂😂😂😂❤
Colin furze built a massive pulsejet and aimed it at France
FTNC
Fuck the noise complaint.
The losses are in the form of thrust
Fuel to heat and noise converter with residual thrust as a by-product...

I brought a Pulse Jet to a model flying club in Australia in the 80's. Started it and was instantly banned

And they cann basicly run on anything if you get it fine enough atomised so coal dust or heavy oil for example would work 😅

Are the reed valve as opposed to tuned not better at varying airspeed and altitude?

Hello
What about trust meter?

This is awesome. What kind of thrust did it produce?
4.5 pounds per the seller's website
Looking forward to you installing it on the RC 4wd

Wow!! And here I always thought these things ran a little hot. lol. Nice job!! : )
Well I've never seen a pulse jet started with foot pump. Kudos
How much trust did you get and how much fuel per time did it consume?
Thanks for the video
3:38 the cameraman was shocked
for a brief moment he deeply questioned his life choices
did it actually make 4lbs of thrust though?
15y ago i build few super small ones , smallest one used 7.62 shell second one was 12g co2 bottle from asg (both needed sustained rly small amount of airflow to work- i used for that air pump from blood pressure monitor) ---- they were so loud that neighbours were annoyed when i turned them on
The noise could be altered with a wave type exit, also try angled holes and an additional pipe on the outside like a trombone for tuning length.
Cool as heck, think a good addition would be a venturi at the tailpipe connected to a sheath to get some airflow over that chamber. For static use, anyway.
That was MASSIVELY COOL!!! 😊
What was the thrust of newtons. I saw you had a strain gauge with rolling sled
Was buzzing so loud it knocked things off of my shelf, I feel you Johnny haaha
I made the mistake of watching this video while listening to the radio.... even their songs were skipping
Bluddy marvellous. Way to go sir!
These things would make great tornado sirens 😅
i beg to differ
I've never started one. Not sure if I want . Looks awesome, hot and dangerous.
I notice that the root of the slot between reed blades has a square end. This gives 2 stress riser points which could cause reed failure at the thinnest point of the blade. Try leaving a radius at the bottom of the slot. This should prolong reed life.
The clamps are taking a lot of the heat out of the body and, presumably, transferring a good amount of it into the frame.
My favorite type of jet!
That started well. I've seen others that were a pig to get going 👍
Mhm probably the fuel and that it is a vaved one
It looks super hot 🔥 .... did you put a heat gun on it to see the temperature of it ?
It’s amazing how fast it got red hot😮
amazing that it doesn't melt the stainless, but I suppose that if its flying then the air rush would cool the pipe
Отличный шумогенератор!
We had one at work, it was the smoke machine for emergency exercises.
Wicked. Which part of Aus did you blast out ear drums? Nice looking bay
Challenge for Johnny: making a mini turbofan with AFTERBURNER😊
Yes, yes they are loud. Are you ready to graduate to turbocharged burn barrels next?
That looks exactly like a Mercury outboard boat motor Reed valve. The Reed valves on these motors are on the crankshaft journals.
Very nice "simple stand"😉
how much thrust did you measure?
You might want to add a cross brace on your uprights. At that height your current stand might make the bearings less efficient and the readings could be well off.
so why does this create thrust and a venturi burner does not? Since they are so similar..
Pretty freakin cool bro!
nice, sounds like a 2-stroke engine at full rpm, like 20k or 200k rpm.
Very cool! Thanks for sharing
I built several pulse jets 1980s - loudest thing ever - vibrate stuff of shelves in whole house - crazy heat - highest thrust 10 lbs -
fire ball is size of 30 gallon trash can in dark - its impressive - way to loud -
I wonder would some heat sink fins be useful on this?
you put a force gauge on the rig, what where the numbers? how mow much thrust did that lil guy put out?
That is an amazing fishing spot
You showed us a force measuring gadget. So what was the thrust created by this pipe bomb?
Well, I think the 1:1 scale ones are louder but on a lower frequency so they hurt a little bit less - but you are feel them more in the stomach...
Lovely kit. Any idea how long one valve lasts?
Well the "original" full sized ones almost lasted one flight.
what is the fuel per pound thrust ratio?
Very good work done
I was wondering about the rotor speed
They made an even greater noise when the warhead they were attached to during WWII exploded in London !
So how much thrust did it achieve??
yes johnny q 90, that was a reed valve engine, a proper pulse jet is 3 times as loud.
Cool! That thing is freaking loud indeed 😂 but what was the thrust reading? You built a nice test rig but I'm curious for the results!
Is there a way to add a throttle to pulse jet engines or do they just do their thing the way they like it?
I wonder if it'd be worth it for pulsejet powered ground vehicles to water cool it
I need one of these for the back yard, fire it up whenever all my neighbors are making too much noise lawn mowing and weed whipping!
what are you going to do with it? is it just a demonstration model or are you going to make a pulsejet rc plane
Is the thrust tube stainless? When you look on their website, they say the "material" is Aluminum. I assuming they mean the valve body?
You do nice work.
The way the camera person *jumped* when it started!
Those things are crazy loud though
Ja die V1 hat man so oder so nur einmal kommen hören. Hat man einen Einschlag überlebt war man danach allerdings Taub und die nächste definitiv nicht mehr kommen gehört.

More like a musical instrument than an engine !
Would like to know the reading of thrust..
Could you try running it on HydroDiesel. I think that would work and have been wanting to see someone with a pulse jet try that fuel. It may run considerably cooler with about the same amount of thrust.
Maybe more thrust actually
Nice. You should try making the rotating pulse engine next!
