Pulse Engine

A pulsejet engine is a type of jet engine in which combustion occurs in pulses, distinguishing it from other reaction engines such as rockets or turbojets, which operate on continuous combustion. The model presented here represents a valveless pulsejet, the simplest form of jet propulsion. Like other jet engines, a pulsejet is a reaction engine and can operate on a wide range of fuels. It can be constructed in various sizes, from very small (centimeters) to very large (meters). The model illustrates showing a simplified animation of the working mechanism of the engine. Cold air is drawn into the engine through the intake pipe, where it mixes with fuel. Combustion then occurs, producing superheated gases. A portion of these gases remains within the engine to ignite subsequent fuel charges. The primary advantages of a pulsejet are its simple construction and high power-to-weight ratio. However, the engine's significant drawbacks include high heat generation and extremely loud operational noise.
