His no weld version of a pulse jet can be built in even the most minimalist work shop and is the epitome of an easy-to-build jet engine.
Bob Maddox once built the world’s largest pulse-jet engine and mounted it in a 1965 Jaguar. Star Wars audio engineers even recorded his pulse-jet engines for the movie Solo.
Ever wondered what it's like to work on wild tech projects with the masterminds behind XRobots and Colin Furze? In this video, we're getting hands-on in the garage to start a pulse jet engine ...
Jumping from an airplane is much too tame for Bob Maddox. He needs something a little more extreme. That’s why he plans to strap himself to a four-engine pulse jet rocket, ride it to around ...
What Meyers did was construct a 2-foot-long, 1-pound pulse jet engine. The pulse jet is a very simple form of internal combustion engine. Meyers said pulse engines are loud and inefficient.
Surprisingly, it’s not much more horsepower than a small car, but that’s due to the hilarious inefficiency of pulse jets compared to more conventional engines.
Maddox soon had a working engine and he developed a throttle that allowed him to control the level of thrust - something he says is rare on a pulse jet.
