FRANK TESTS HIS PULSED DETONATION PUMP JUNE 27TH 2024

THIS VIDEO MAY NOT SEEM THAT SIGNIFICANT, HOWEVER, THIS TEST IS THE CULMINATION OF 7 MONTHS OF EFFORT CREATING THE PROPER ENVIRONMENT TO BEGIN TESTING MY VERSION OF 'DETONATION TECHNOLOGY'.THIS FIRST APPLICATION IS A UNIQUE THERMODYNAMIC APPROACH TO TRANSFORMING HIGH TEMPERATURE AND HIGH PRESSURE GAS INTO A HIGH PRESSURE FLUID FLOW WITHOUT ANY INTERVENING INTERFACE.

Audio that works would help a lot. Interesting. 👍

Tanks Sky.. I just noticed that when I hold the camera in my left hand it gets muted.. I hope you enjoy development of this pump.. today didn’t go as i anticipated.. lol that’s why it’s called experimenting…

[@paul41to45]

awesome, you are on the way

[@parsonsenergy]

Tanks Paul … Yes it’s taken considerable effort to get to this pivotal moment..

Years ago i built a travelling wave pulsed detonation rocket motor. It had the internal baffles designed so the shockwave was collimated into an exhasust stream of hypersonic speed a few feet from the nozzle but was cool nonetheless. It sounded like a very angry bee and a machine gun had a very ugly baby. Acetylene was too prone to detonation in the wrong places but a mix of oxygen, nitrious oxide, Methyl propylene, and ethyl ether worked well. You want it to create a bunch of smaller shocks to confine and compress the fuel mix in the center a few cm from the nozzle exit. You want a highly explosive but lower power mix on the edhe but a less explosive but far more powerful mix in the middle. Slightly curved bits of metal on the housing gave it the needed spin. Needless to say it didnt live very long being made of literal scrap metal. 😂

Tanks Chris… utilizing the TWD approach to PD (pulsed detonation) is an avenue to pursue, however, this pump application is more of a paradigm shift in what the concept of PD technology conventionally has been thought of.

"excetylene"?

[@parsonsenergy]

It's spelled acetylene. Acetylene (systematic name: ethyne) is the chemical compound with the formula C 2H 2 and structure H−C≡C−H. It is a hydrocarbon and the simplest alkyne. This colorless gas is widely used as a fuel and a chemical building block. It is unstable in its pure form and thus is usually handled as a solution. I use this for its' ability to detonate.

@@parsonsenergy You say "excetylene" -- there's no "k" sound in "acetylene".

[@parsonsenergy]

@@rdbchase Yeah Chase, you got me there,however, asking for ethyne at the supply shop doesn't get me my refill. Saying Accetylene works every thyme. I appreciate your penchant for detail though, the purpose of this series of tests and rudimentary setup was to validate i could actually create a detonation. I did two things ,namely, I created detonations of varying intensity and I can vary the frequency of operation. Tanks for your support Chase.
