Default Unusual Engines and Built for Speed Control Line Airplane

I just purchased several airplanes and a number of different engines at a sale in Indianapolis, and I have a few questions about them for the members of this forum. Some of these engines have markings on them, but most of them have no markings anywhere that I can see. I don't know what they are. I'm hoping that someone here might recognize them. Is the long tube engine a pulse jet? Anybody recognize who might have built it? Apparently the previous owner held many speed records for control line planes. The odd thing about the plane is that there is only one wire attached to it, not two. And this plane is surprisingly heavy for its size. Any idea what it is? What can these various engines be used on? Any idea what they might be worth? Thanks.
