You could create multiple combustion cylinders that converge into one exhaust pipe, something that looks similar to a Rolls Royce Derwent jet engine. I would combust them in rotation of a clock that way you will have higher pulse rates of combustion kinda like a radial piston engine.

[@tylerdavis3]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@harleyme3163what? No, pure ramjet engines aren’t used because they create no thrust while stationary and thus require an assisted take off or something that serves the same purpose. Unless you’re talking about shock-ramjet engines which just aren’t practical for anything that isn’t supersonic 100% of the time.

[@PickleBryne]

Instead of electrical valves which would operate at a fixed frequency, you can try mechanical pin-activated valves that are activated when the pressure in the chamber is minimal. Thus, the valves would activate at the exact rate to resonate with the detonation cycles, like in an IC engine. Edit: Tomatoes are disgusting!

@@thed_ani The primary limitation of electrical valves, especially logic controlled, is response and repeat time. Integza is already pushing the practical limits for that in this video. The main benefits are the ability to activate at distance, and to activate on a particular schedule or frequency, within the practical limits as established. The only way to increase frequency in the case of this video would be to add more valve assemblies and fire them in sequence.

The Shchelkin spiral spring was interesting how it improved the effect. I once tried a tall, curvy or ribbed brass candle holder one time where the "exhaust end" was very wide with not hardly any confinement yet it made a good bang just being misted with methanol and lit from the open narrow end with a Bic lighter. If you try that same trumpet shape with an aluminum baseball bat with the the ends cut off the flame front becomes terribly slow and won't produce a bang. But this narrow wide narrow repeating channel shape accelerates the combustion quite suddenly. If you turn up the volume you can get an idea of the sound from this video entitled Candlestick Holder with Methanol, maybe of interest and only just as an aside or tidbit.

[@JohnLeePettimoreIII]

6:14 you made a *_SCIENTIFIC MASS ACCELERATOR_* ... congratulations on your *_EDUCATIONAL_* achievement!

[@JBothell_KF0IVQ]

Video Suggestion: Adding some sort of a nozzle to this would be interesting. The pressure is not irrelevant in jet or rocket engines. it is manipulated through forced expansion to increase velocity which does create huge amounts of thrust. perhaps a little known fact: the pressure at the end of a rocket nozzle is very close to zero. Ideally it would be zero but there are issues with being close and creating negative pressure that cause the bell to resonate and explode.

[@wood0366]

Exactly, adding a bell would also give a greater surface area for the expanding gasses reflecting off the slower air to push the engine forward.

[@jakob7d6]

This resonating is also the reason why there are different sized engine bells. With a smaller bell the pressure isn't that low, so it is better in an environment with higher air pressure.

[@ArcsineVR]

I'd love to see a CNC'd rocket nozzle attached to this thing!

So much yes! Pulse Detonation Engines are awesome. Thank you for this, on a side note I saw two different designs of air intake for pulse detonation engines that worked very well-one is like a powered air compressor piston assembly that as the piston goes up and down it pushes air and fuel into the exhaust tube (basically the exhaust pipe) and it acts like a backfire tune on a car. The second design utilizes a Tesla valve to allow one way transfer of the air/fuel mixture into the detonation tube.

Just seems like it would be a nice quality of life fix.

In order to conduct longer tests while reducing the possibility of overheating and issues associated with that, it is important to built a shockwave jet engine. The shockwave jet engine is designed to provide high-pressure air to the test area, which will allow for longer testing periods. Additionally, the shockwave jet engine will also help to cool the area, which will reduce the possibility of overheating and issues associated with that.

Have you ever consider using topology optimization and A.i generative design tool for your next video ? 1 ) Generative design is a form of artificial intelligence that leverages the power of the cloud and machine learning while accelerating the entire design-to-make process. 2 ) It lets you use the full breadth of automation and machine intelligence to generate outcomes you didn't ever dream about 3 ) It's a great way to quickly prototype and iterate on ideas while getting feedback from the machine learning algorithms about what is and isn't working. 4 ) In the context of jet engine design, generative design could be used to quickly iterate on engine designs and find the most efficient design for a given set of constraints. 5) Topology optimization is a great way to design more efficient structures for 3D printing can be used to create prototypes of those structures quickly and easily. You can use it to find the optimal shape for a jet engine turbine blade. 6) You can use it to create a lattice structure that is optimized for strength and stiffness. 7) You can use it to create a honeycomb structure that is lightweight and has a high strength-to-weight ratio. 8) You can use it to create a variety of other structures that are optimized for different performance characteristics. I imagine that a jet engine designed with the help of A.i. would be incredibly efficient and powerful and would love to see you launch your neighborhood on the Moon with it =) Here some useful link if you are interested to try it : a)all3dp.com/2/fusion-360-generative-design-tutorial/ ( generative design ) b) www.autodesk.com/solutions/topology-optimization (topology optimization )

I'd love to see this engine with a nozzle/exhaust on the end. It would be interesting to see the difference between the non nozzled, a wide nozzle and a small nozzle.

[@showshowtomakefreeenergyge2426]

A shockwave jet engine is a type of jet engine that uses a nozzle to create a shockwave. The shockwave helps to compress the air, making it more dense and thus more powerful. This type of engine is often used in racing applications, as it can provide a significant power boost. Building a shockwave jet engine is not overly difficult, but it does require some specialized knowledge and tools. The most important part of the process is choosing the right nozzle size. If the nozzle is too small, the engine will not be able to create enough power. If the nozzle is too large, the engine will be less efficient and may even stall. Once you have chosen an appropriate nozzle size, you can begin building your shockwave jet engine. The process is relatively simple and can be completed in a few hours.

Integza, make a Rocket out of Carbon Fiber, but you have to laminate Carbon Fiber and Fireplace Sealant on 3D printed molds like with the Pulse Jet. The engines, fuel tank, etc have to be made out of the same material. If you don’t want the entire rocket to look like a dullish grey color, you can paint it to make it look like, I don’t know, a NASA rocket. As a starter, I suggest you to make solid rocket boosters like the ones on the NASA space shuttle and make the entire rocket propelled by solid rocket engines. Like the Apollo rocket. You can then graduate to more advanced rockets which use Liquid Rocket engines. For the more advanced rockets, you can 3D print them and use your 3D printed rocket engines in place of Carbon Fiber + Fireplace Cement Sealant Rocket Engines. Good luck!

Once engine 1 completes its pulse/detonation, engine 2 would fire and engine 1 would rest and refuel. 🚀 Get the timing right and you might just create your own variant of an "alternating" pulse-jet engine that overcomes one of the problems of pulsed thrust engines and their inability to maintain a constant force of thrust. I love your videos and the personality you throw into each one. Regardless of the content I always smile when I see one of your new videos and fun projects. Stay awesome and thanks for sharing your informational and exciting explorations with the world. I'd love to be able to dabble in the likes of your fun projects but until then I will continue to live through your excitement and adventure 😆 Stay well friend! I'll be looking out for the next one!!

4 would be interesting they would be crossed and symetrical 1 2 X 2 1

[@mr.notorious2465]

@@CUBETechiethats a clever take. I like it even better... I can hear Integza now "MORE ENGINE - MORE POWERRR!!!"

[@aminoazzonit7530]

double or triple the engines to get continuous thrust, you need to time them so they will work in sequence, exhausting from single nozzle. similar to car engine. good luck.

[@gtametro]

the Nazis didn't need multiple engines and the doodlebugs lol

[@Ithirahad]

The logical conclusion of this is rotating detonation, which is like an infinite number of 'engines' in one detonation chamber.

[@kerbodynamicx472]

Cooking up an RDE at home... This will be so awesome! It will be difficult, but a success would be more than rewarding.

[@daniwalmsley611]

Hey integza, an engine like this (pressure optimised) are best used as prop/shaft engines. It's much more efficient to extract the energy using a turbine rather than trying to push against the atmosphere

Hello! I have watched all you successes and failures that have created so many very interesting videos. I have an idea for you to make a better pulse jet engine. During WWII my uncle was in charge of retro-engineering captured V-1 "Buzz-Bombs" in order to discover any of their vulnerabilities. When taken apart he was amazed at how simple and powerful these pulse jet engines were. The first German "buzz bombs" only utilized thin and flexible razor blades in a flap valve grid, followed by a mixing chamber, spark plug, and venturi tail pipe. The readily-available and robust razor blades easily could flex open to allow the fuel/air mixture to enter the combustion camber, and then the razor blades "flapped" shut during the explosion to propel the rocket forward. These razor blades could flex open and closed many 100s of thousands of times without failure! The filling and flapping occurred about 50 times per second and thus "buzzed". This simple design allowed the rocket to carry huge weights into the sky! This design does not require all the engineering complexity and lacks the problems seen with a rotating pulse engine. My uncle told me that his first 'copy' of the V-1 flew 50 miles until it ran out of fuel! Therefore, look up “buzz-bomb” designs and make one so that you can have great success with one of your videos!

[@Forensic1Man]

How am I doing in the competition?

[@MODElAIRPLANE100]

Hey integza, I've always wondered whether you could make a tip jet setup such as in a few helicopters with small versions of your pulse or other jet designs. You could either use two small jets, or one jet which feeds output to multiple angled tip outlets. Look at the hiller hornet. Amazing video as always!!!

[@Armando_asx]

Love ur content keep it up

[@jofis_hoover]

Try making a full on liquid fueled rocket. I’m talking turbo pumps, preburners, and a thrust chamber. You know… the works.

[@thed_ani]

Amazing how this engine is using the sound barrier (im assuming the difference in pressure) to push itself, like a person punching a wall to go forwards

[@salis3425]

Video suggestion: it would be interesting to see whether the pressure from the shockwave jet engine could rotate a Tesla Turbine much faster than previous experiments

[@haydennorris2913]

This has been a subject of recent research in the field of detonation engines. Harnessing the output of these engines is extremely difficult . With large turbines you have a shot at making it work but I don't think a Tesla turbine would be very efficient at all.

[@jco997]

If he does this, I will give him $20. We dont care if it works or not. We just want to see some action. It might even completly destroy the tesla turbine, and we will still enjoy that kind of stuff.

[@paulsalis]

I suspect that it will have some loss in efficiency compared to compressed air.

[@The_Racr1]

@@haydennorris2913 or even work at all, the disks would just shatter as soon as the first detonation hits them

[@TEJURITA]

You are awesome man waiting for your next video

[@Cardboardcar918]

That Supra sounds beautiful

[@BurbIndustries]

That's really impressive! You should try mounting one of you best motors on a car or a plane, or could be nice!

[@jamesvafiadis5957]

I’d love to see a full comparison of all your rockets!! I think making a very consistent rig to test the thrust of each could be really interesting

[@asteria4_943]

Yes! How would he test thrust vs torque?

[@jepus63]

This dude knows how to make a really catchy video 🤘

[@Wilma5532]

Would love to see you try building a Radial engine! Like in an airplane!

[@stephanvh4119]

I would love to see you try to miniaturize this more and see if you can actually make something fly using this! Even if you can't get it to fly it'd be really freaking cool to see this mobile the rail is cool and a small train powered by jet engine would be awesome!

[@adamazbell]

Dear Mr. Integza, I’ve been watching your videos for quite some time, and they are amazing! I have been watching a lot of videos on sound and how sound waves affect salt on a flat plane. I was wondering is there any way of making a Sound engine or sound turbine? This is really fascinated me especially since a lot of scientists have been recovering data on crop circles that have a frequency that is left behind.
