Talk:Pulse jet engine
|
|
"A pulse jet engine is a very simple form of aircraft engine, falling somewhere in between true jets on the one hand and rockets on the other."
I don't like this introduction but I feel limited to express this in English. The pulse jet isn't somewhere between jet & rocket, it's simply elsewhere. A pulse jet has some kind of 2-stroke cycle : Compression & Detonation while other reaction engine works in a continuous mode.

- I agree that it is not a great sentence. I think it is only refering to complexity; trying to say that a true jet engine is complex, a rocket is simple, and a pulse jet is of intermediate complexity. I don't think a mythical "general reader" would view a rocket as simple, though, so the sentence is confusing. Rmhermen 21:33, Oct 9, 2003 (UTC)
I don't like these images. They have a big web site advertisement on the bottom and text. That's what the image's page is for. and they are ms paint. If I get a chance, I'll do a little research into how they work and make some nice, vector-package based diagrams. - Xgkkp 00:20, 10 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Evidence for speed record wanted
"The speed record for tethered model aircraft is 186 miles per hour, set in the early 1950s."
That value converts to 299 km/h, which is so close to 300 km/h that it makes me want to validate the information. I could not find anything online. Does anybody else have more information? Bobblewik (talk) 12:09, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)
acoustics
It might be nice to link the valveless version to something about acoustics, resonance, resonating tubes, etc. or add more to clarify the relationship between them if I am misunderstanding and it is supersonic explosion or something that's not really the same thing. or something. - Omegatron 22:26, Nov 30, 2004 (UTC)
Martin Wiberg
Gunter, can you provide a cite on that? I've been playing with pulsejets for yars now, own a number of books on them and their history, and I've never heard of Martin Wiberg. User:Brockert/sig 03:26, Jan 22, 2005 (UTC)
This is actually crossreferenced from Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Wiberg added by user: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Nixdorf, i suggest you ask him. --Gunter 12:35, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)
