Here are the various components from which the pulse jet is assembled at various stages of construction. Major Components Here's the basic pre-construction "exploded" view of the engine. This image was taken on September 18, before the rear end of the combustion chamber was tapered and welded. It does not include the fuel jetting or reed valve assembly which was not built at this time. Intake Body This is turned from solid aluminum rod and has 8 intake holes which were drilled from the back at a 30 degree angle to meet at a focal point in the center. The intake venturi hole was then drilled from the front and opened up with the lathe to provide a tapered intake venturi. At this stage no attempt has been made to lighten or "beautify" this component and I'm still working on ideas for the mounting of the fuel jetting system. Reed Valve Assembly Note that I've just added a page detailing the construction and assembly of the reed valve assembly
