Dreadnough pulse-jet V1.02

Here’s a new dreadnough video. There have been some changes since last time. After some inspection on the reflector on the t100, I found a tear. this was not a weld that had buckled but just a tear in normal steel, caused by massive pressure waves bouncing against it back into the cc. After some discussion with James, we decided to replace the not very well tuned divergant/ reflector aray with a straight pipe and test it again with the prommise of a massive thrust increase. This meant I had to get some new steel. unfortunately, I could only find .7 mm. “Should be fine” I ponderd and started construction. The first test was a failure. the lack of pressure waves comming back into the cc meant I had much more trouble starting it. For the second attempt, James adviced to put a wet rag on a stick into one of the intakes to provide the extra pressure needed for starting. This worked fine as the video shows. One small thing though. I REALY should not have used .7 mm:P The entire rectifier buckled, warped and ripped under the pressure! but before it did so, it put out massive amounts of power, much more then it did before so the change ws a succes!. just need to remember to use 1mm stainless next time
