Re: This could be fun at the AR
I wonder how fast a person has to go before their drag equals the twenty or thirty pounds of thrust those pulse jets can deliver. With a decent fuel supply I suspect that thing could have ended up going quite fast.
When are we getting one??? Keith. |

150 = rho V^2 Cd A (yes put the thrust in newtons, you mongchild) If you reckon a bloke is a cube, then Cd is about 1.05, A would be about 4 foot by 3 (sat down), call is 1.5m^2 for a laugh. With that lot V = ~7.96m/s ... 30lbs is pretty near as far as I can guess from watching the vid. That is a lockwood-hiller pulsejet.  This one produced about 300lbs of thrust, but was made in a lab rather than a scrapyard heh.
