Project Pulse-Jet Group 4: Jitesh Patl Lehar Khanna Siddharth Temkar Fahad Pangarkar

Project Pulse-Jet is an analytical study of how a pulse-jet engine works conducted by students Jitesh Patl, Lehar Khanna, Siddharth Temkar, and Fahad Pangarkar. Their goals are to design, build, and test a prototype pulse-jet engine by researching and designing a prototype, building it based on their design, and testing it against theoretical analysis. The pulse-jet engine was first invented in the early 1900s and was used in German V-1 flying bombs during World War 2 but later took a backseat to the turbofan jet engine, though interest has renewed in its potential uses.

What is Project PulseJet?


Project Pulse Jet
is an analytical study of how a pulse-jet engine works.

Our Goals
To design, build and test a pulse-jet engine.

Plan of Action
Research and design a prototype of a pulse-jet engine.
Build the prototype based on our design.
Test the prototype against the theoretical analysis.

History of the pulsejet


The pulsejet engine was first invented in the early 1900 by a Swedish inventor
Martin Wiberg
Paul Schmidt, who engineered the first production pulsejet during the Second
World War with his flying bomb, the Argus V1.
Nicknamed the buzz bomb because of the low hum it admitted during flight.
Used by the Germans to bomb London from 1944-1945
Over 9,000 V-1 were fired on England during WW2

The pulsejet took a backseat in the engineering world when the turbofan jet
engine was invented
Has returned to the engineering scene as
of late because of the interest in
Pulse Detonation Engines (PDE).

How does it work?


A pulsejet engine is a very simple jet engine consisting of very little
to no moving parts. The combustion cycle comprises five or six
phases: Induction, Compression, (in some engines) Fuel Injection,
Ignition, Combustion, and Exhaust.

The rapidly expanding gasses exit out of the engine and as this
happens a vacuum is created in the combustion chamber which
pulls in a fresh new air charge fro m the atmosphere, and then the
whole cycle repeats itself.

Types of Pulse Jets


There are two basic types of pulsejets.
valve or traditional pulsejet
valve-less pulsejet.
The Argus V1 Schmidt was a valve pulsejet
Most of the development work for the valve-less engines are done by
two American engineers Lockwood and Hiller.
