With a RC Jet Turbine get together at Wagin soon I intend to take my German INFERNO down & show everyone.I will take a er90 in a test stand ready to fly .Show how easy to start,Throttle & how noisey this is.I may be told DONT start it because of noise but its a start.I love all jets but Pulse Jets are not so easy to understand at times.Thats why I love them.Everyone said a afterburner could not work but it did.NOS gave 20lbs thrust.WOW,Just had to try it.The er90 is 1100G & gives about13 lbs static thrust.Uses 350mls/minute static.Best with a fuel blend like 40% petrol 60% Kerosine and 50/1 two stroke oil.Cost about 700 Euro.A Pulse Jet Turbine ran in 1910 putting out over one HP for one hour so in my mind that is the first shaft Jet ever.Pulse Jets use lots of fuel because they dont compress the air like a turbine but man,they shore burn clean.Evan pumping diesel fuel into my er90 tail pipe it ran cleaner than a piston engine.
As with all low compression engines spark plugs,amps,Volts fuel injectors and so one need to be the best you can use.My Buzz Box runs 2,2 amps at 30,000Volts.Spark plug is a small nitro plug & glows brite red so evan Kero fires up strait away.Not bad considdering the fuel is sprayed low psi & into the reeds for start up.Should be using this for Turbine Jets on Kero.Spark plug should be up at the front next to reeds also.Control Line Pulse Jet Clubs in USA are the Pioneers of perfecting small CL Pulse Jets but RC is not alowed there.Europe Builds the Best RC Pulse Jets and are still improving.I want to find a RC boat like a 1/6 scale Budweiser next to try one on.So easy to do to.Bob Maddox Builds & sells Pulse Jets over 500lbs thrust & sells the to anyone.Everyone I have run my er90 in front of Says WOW,Amazing.When is it going to fly.I want to be there.To me a Pulse Jet is like a V8 car as compared to a Fast shopping car(jet Turbine) .
