Best Answer

A Pulse Jet is a type of jet that uses a pulse jet engine for propulsion. The jet engine works by using pulse combinations of combustion. This is called "resonant combustion". The engine requires very little moving parts.

How does a pulse jet work?

A pulse jet engine is one of the most simple and efficient propulsion devices ever designed. There are three types of pulse jet engines: The valved pulse jet, the valveless pulse jet, and the upright or "Jam jar jet". For complete details on pulse jet engines, go to wikipedia.org and search "Pulse Jet Engine".


What can propel you in bursts?

Any of various pulse jet engine or pulse rocket engine systems (e.g. German V-1 buzzbomb, valveless pulse jet <see image above>, "Orion Class" nuclear bomb propelled pulse rocket).


Who invented the valveless pulse jet engine?

Paul Schmidt in cooperation with the Argus Engine company


How did the v-1 missile work?

the V1 flying bomb used a pulse jet engine to drive it and a gyroscopic guidance system and was launched from a static launch ramp. quick stats: Length: 27 ft., 3 in. Wingspan: 17 ft. 6 in. Loaded Weight: 4,750 lbs. Power Plant: Argus As 109-014 pulse jet engine Range: 150 miles Max Speed: 393 mph Warhead: 1,870 lbs.


What did the jet engine work on?

The pulse jet engine was used by the Germans in WWII, the infamous doodle-bug. It is a pretty noisy engine, but simple and powerful.Jet engine principles have been known since antiquity. In UK jet engines were invented by Frank Whittle in the mid 1930s, - this was the turbojet.In more recent times, simple gas jets have been used as personal propulsion, but not with wide acceptance.And in a fluid medium, the Jet Boat propulsion system invented by Bill Hamilton of New Zealand, though he was always at pains to deny this and point to Archimedes as the original inventor. Nevertheless, his work is the first practical application of the principle.The mighty rocket engines used to lift payloads into space are essentially jet engines.


What is louder a jet engine or a drill?

jet engine


Why does a space craft requires a rocket engine instead of a jet engine?

because jet engines reqire air to take in in order to work, rocket engines spew matter to privide thrust


Who was the inventor of the jet engine?

Frank Whittle was the invetor of the jet engine.


Where to buy a mini jet engine?

You can but a mini jet engine on ebay.


Why is a jet engine called air breathing engine?

A jet engine uses fuel from the aircraft's fuel tanks, but gets its oxidizer from oxygen in the air. So it won't work in space, where there is no air. A similar engine that carried its own oxygen would be called a "rocket", and WOULD work in space - because it wouldn't need air.


Where is the jet engine from?

The Germans invented the first operational jet engine during WW2.


How does the after bunner jet engine work?

Jet fuel is sprayed into the exhaust gas steam and ignited, as this happens, the end of the primary nozzle constricts hydraulically and the result is increased thrust as the jet exhaust is "after burned".
