  Pulse jet engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A pulse jet engine (or pulsejet) is a very simple form of internal combustion engine wherein the combustion occurs in pulses and the propulsive effort is a reaction to the rearward flow of hot gases.
The valving is accomplished though the use of reed valves or, in a valveless pulse jet engine, through aerodynamics.
The cycle frequency is primarily dependent on the length of the engine.

 Pulse detonation engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The pulse detonation engine is a concept currently in active development to create a jet engine that operates on the supersonic detonation of fuel.
The basic operation of the PDE is similar to that of the pulse jet engine; air is mixed with fuel to create a flammable mixture that is then ignited.
Key difficulties in pulse detonation engines are achieving DDT without requiring a tube long enough to make it impractical and drag-imposing on the aircraft; reducing the noise (often described as sounding like a jackhammer); and damping the severe vibration caused by the operation of the engine.

The principle military use of the pulse jet engine was in the V-1 "buzz bomb".
Pulse jets are mainly used today in model airplanes, though some experimenters continue to work on improved designs, including pulse detonation engines.

 Wikinfo | Jet engine
A jet engine is a type of air-breathing engine, often used on aircraft.
The engine generates thrust because of the acceleration of the air through it - the equal and opposite force this acceleration produces (Newton's third law) is thrust.
The Century series of US jets featured a number of variations on this approach, usually with the leading blade at the outer vertical edge of the intake which was then angled back inwards towards the fuselage.

Pulse jet is in effect a wave engine with a wave percompression ratio of about 1.0.
The function of the intake valves in the conventional pulse jet is to prevent the reversal of flow at the inlet and therefore a negative momentum transport when the combustion chamber pressure becomes higher than the free stream stagnation pressure.
A pulse jet working on this principle is noteworthy that the only feature which distinguishes the configuration of this duct from the conventional ram jet is the sharp change in cross-section at the combustion chamber inlet.

 The Turbine Engine
The engine are relatively small and compact, about half the size of a reciprocating IC engine of the same horsepower.
When the turbine engine is operating, the first- stage turbine rotates the centrifugal compressor run impeller to draw in air and compress it.
The gas turbine engine is rated at 130 horsepower at 3600 rpm output shaft speed and 425 lb-ft torque at zero output shaft speed under ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure conditions of 85 F and 29.92" Hg, respectively.

 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.

To increase thrust from the pulse jet engine, a pair of tubular augmentors or jet pumps 28 and 29 are placed, respectively, in the line of exhaust from inlet pipe 25 and tailpipe 26.
The pulse jet engine preferably consumes propane, although pulse jet combustors are relatively insensitive to the particular fuel used and will operate on a wide variety of air-reacting fuels, preferably, for example, gasoline, fuel oils, butane, and producer gas.

The pulse jet is one of the most simple jet engines there is, that's why I built one.

Those contracts could be for superefficient engines for subsonic jetliners, which would chop fuel consumption by an amount that engineers would "kill their grandmothers" to get, Lidstone jokes, or for supersonic, unmanned aerial vehicles or manned fighters.
Pulse detonation would also offer cheaper access to space, saving tons of liquid oxygen and fuel by powering vehicles from the ground to high altitude and hypersonic velocity, where conventional rocket engines would take over to lift them into orbit.
Pulse detontation is not easy to achieve given standard fuels and reasonable detonation tube lengths, so a bit of skepticism is always warranted.
