Everything is wiped, and we are starting over. New URL, new start.

New project too! Pulse jets. A very simple take on a jet engine. Take air and fuel. Mix them together in a combustion chamber. Add a spark. Boom. If you design the chamber, intake, and exhaust tubes correctly, you have a nice amount of thrust.

We are going to be building a valveless type, which simplifies the design significantly.
A traditional ramjet engine that you would find on a commercial aircraft just adds a set of turbines to this system. That can wait.

There is also a new team. 2 engineers from work and myself were looking for something to keep ourselves busy while we weren't busy. We are coming from different specialties, but we all get along very well. I think together we have the intellect and experience to carry out a wide variety of crazy things. Hopefully having more than myself working on a given project at a time will keep me focused on actually completing a project.
