 Aspirator for pulse-jet air cleaner - Patent 4622996
Cleaning is accomplished by pulsing air through the filters in a direction opposite to the normal airflow direction to effect self-cleaning during operation of the system without removal and replacement of the filters.
The pulse valve 24 is typically of the diaphragmtype controlled by a solenoid pilot valve 30 in order to release a pulse of air at high velocity and volume from the tank 12.
When the pulse valve 24 releases compressed air from the tank, the velocity of the air increases as it exits the outlet 20 due to the reduction in cross-sectional flow area between the tank and discharge pipe 22.

 PULSEJET
Pulse Reactors in Blastwave Shroud Seen As Answer to VTOL Lift Problems: The Hiller-Lockwood pulse reactor engines, acoustically paired in a `Blastwave' pressure-gain ram shroud, promises to overcome the rough-field vulnerability of jet lift VTOL propulsion systems because of its absence of moving parts and the fact that it rejects rather than ingests foreign particles.
The pulse reactor, on the other hand, has low jet downwash temperatures, and has the unique characteristic of rejecting foreign particles which are heavier than air.
The mechanism of energy transfer from the primary jet to the secondary flow in the augmenter is not fully understood, but Lockwood postulates that a pressure drop on the back side of the gaseous jet piston induces a flow of air in over the lip of the augmenter.

 Rotary Pulse Jet Engine
The basic design of the Rotary Pulse jet engine is extremely simple and would require only 40% of the parts needed in a conventional IC engine.
The rotor and shaft inclusive of the pistons could be made far lighter than the weight needed to be moved in a conventional engine such as the crankshaft, fly-wheel, cam-shaft, connecting rods and so on, thereby giving the engine a much greater size to power ratio.
The Rotary Pulse Jet Engine is very simple in design, it consists of a rotor, enabled for movement in one direction only, fixed to an axle of which it is an integral part, revolving inside an outer housing.

 Menardi - baghouse types: pulse jet
The pulse jet baghouse was developed by MikroPul in the 1950's and was designed to allow more air per given area of baghouse, which meant higher air-to-cloth ratios.
A pulse jet system generally operates at 5-6:1 air-to-cloth ratio.
In most baghouse designs, a venturi seated at the top of each bag is used to increase air velocity in order to create a large enough pulse to travel down and back up the filter bag.

 Junkers Ju EF126 Luft '46 entry
Since a pulse jet must be brought up to its operating speed, takeoff was achieved by the use of two detachable solid-fuel rockets with 1200 kg (2640 lbs) thrust.
Since the Argus pulse jet engine's performance worsened with altitude, the EF126 was also to be used in the ground attack role, where an auxiliary load of 400 kg (880 lbs) could be carried beneath the wings.
The pulse jet was mounted outside the fuselage on the port side behind the wings and a special Seppler Bemag type fuel pump was driven by a small propeller on the nose.

Lots of fun for a class, though...Pulse jets are an art that is looking for a use.
Larry keeps on returning to simpler steam driven engines for pumping water, etc. Hi Dean, The interesting point I was attracted to about the pulse burner is it's ability to generate vacuum to draw air into the gasifier stove, burn the wood-gas, pump the exhaust through the stove and out the vent tube.

 Pulse Detonation Wave Engines
But a technical analysis of pulse detonation wave engines suggests that engines operating at the thrust levels associated with military aircraft would operate between 100 and 200 Hertz (pulses per second).
It is also difficult to reconcile a pulse rate of 100-200 Hertz with the observed donut-on-a-rope contrails.
Assuming a detonation pulse rate of 100 Hertz, this would imply a velocity of 10 kilometers per second, roughly Mach 36 which is 1½ times orbital velocity.

 Influence of Design and Operation Parameters on Bag-Cleaning Performance of Pulse-Jet Baghouse   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The jet pump curves, which relate the flow rate through the venturi to the average developed pressure by the venturi, were determined by the similar system.
The intersection of the jet pump curve and the bag operating line, which relates the pressure drop to flow rate across the bag during pulse-jet cleaning, is the system operating point that was used to predict the average pulse pressure in the bag during pulse-jet cleaning.
The results show that the jet pump curves obtained under different operating conditions can be reduced to the same nondimensional curve, which can be used to facilitate the design and operation of a pulse-jet cleaning system.

 Details of my pulse jet.
Due to the fuel system which relied upon the venturi effect to 'draw' fuel from the tank, the tank had to be level with the motor.
Then I built a number of home designed jets that were never intended to fly, far too heavy!, and discovered that almost anything will run if the small resonator part of the tube is made long enough.
They had two different pulse jets that looked very similar, but the one I have is the more powerful of the two and a little bigger in diameter.

Tomorrow I'll go get that propane tank filled and bolt on the "big pulse jet" which is giving about 90 lbs of thrust.
I finally got the time last night to mount the 100lbs-thrust pulse jet engine on the kart.
While this is significantly more than your average passenger plane -- it's not as high as a jet fighter and, more importantly, it means that if I encounter a slope of more than a 1 in 2.6 gradient -- the kart will begin to slow and eventually stop.

 Particulate Baghouses, Pulse Jet Fabric Filters, Intermediate Pressure Pulse Jet Fabric Filters, SP Environmental
The use of long bags, typically 8m (26-1/4’) or longer is made possible by the use of larger 3-1/2” pulse valves supplied by compressed air headers operating in the range of 2 to 3 bar gauge.
The increased capacity of the longer bags combined with the compact configuration typical of a pulse jet collector allows for applications serving over 1,000,000 ACFM in approximately 1/2 of the plan area required by a reverse air collector of similar capacity.
The SP Environmental IP series of pulse collectors was developed through the combined efforts of U.S., European and other international experts.

 Jet Powered Models, Pulse Jets
A pulse jet engine is a jet engine to which the intake of air is intermittent (through valves), resulting in a pulsating thrust.
It is a jet propulsion engine containing neither compressor nor turbine, equipped with valves in its front that open and shut and so create thrust intermittently, rather than continuously.
It's a 68 cm wingspan model with a 48cm pulse jet engine, covered with the dust of almost 30 years.

 Pulse Jet Engine
Early tests on Jet A1 indicate that this thrust can be lifted to around 180lbs each and, with the addition of an augmentor, a figure of around 220lbs of static thrust per engine should be possible -- for a total of 440lbs.
At first glance, pulse jets seem pretty simple devices -- there's only one moving part -- however there are some critical relationships between the volumes and lengths of the various engine parts.
To gather enough empirical information on pulse jet engines to allow the construction of "version two" which will hopefully be lighter, more efficient and more powerful.

 www.pulse-jets.com :: View topic - How big a Pulse Jet would I need?
Keep in mind that sport/scale jet models will typically require a pretty good chunk of ballast in the nose to get the CG where it belongs, so that's an important part of your flying weight.
A 1 lb thrust jet would WAY out-class these mills, but of course, it would be MUCH bulkier, even if the weight could be kept down to a few ounces.
Find the thrust falloff rate for a prop that size at the rpm range your engine runs at, you may well be able to use a smaller pulsejet to get the same effects, although making a smaller than 1 lb thrust engine might be a pain in the butt.

 JAWMA Paper: A Model for Pulse Jet Fabric Filters   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
A new model for pulse jet fabric filtration is proposed.
In contrast to the earlier model of Ravin and Humphries,1 which was formulated on the steady state assumption, the present study is aimed at developing a predictive ca-pability for both transient and steady state operations, taking into account the compression effect of filter cakes.
As a result, the model is particularly useful in developing control algorithms and designing controllers of pulse jet fabric filtration systems.
