This is an overview of a small pressure jet prototype, and showing the engine start and run.
It is raining while the engine is running, you can hear the engine sputter when it sucks in rain drops.
If you are the whiny impatient type that cant wait a few minutes to see the engine run, go cry somewhere else about it and dont bother commenting about how your life was inconvenienced by having to listen to the explanation about the engine.

What is there to elaborate? The Gluhareff Pressure Jet is a ramjet combustor pressurized by the high velocity stream of hot propane mixed with air in a sonically tuned inlet system. It’s tuned to NOT oscillate, and at low power it doesn’t- the jet produces white noise. The fact that the engine produces a tone at high power is NOT a part of it’s designed operation- it is a FLAW and Gene made many modifications to SUPPRESS that oscillation.

I’m curious, has the regenerative cooling of this design ever caused serious crazing? How bad would it have to be before it would seriously affect the engine?

Thank you for the …
Thank you for the explaination. Bits of information on this sort of engine are usually few and far between. Though it was designed to run the rotors of a helicopter I’m curious if there’s been any success in adapting it to RC planes, possibly with a scoop around the intake. Have there been multiple intake designs? What is the thrust of this model?
