Pulsejet Calculator 1.4
Pulsejet Calculator 1.4 Is the latest version of a excel based program I created in order to
help people design and build their own vavled pulsejet engine.
help people design and build their own vavled pulsejet engine.
Pulsejet Calculator 1.4 is an excel based program which helps people
design and build their own pulsejet engine.
One of the hardest parts of designing a pulsejet, is designing a tailpipe
that will resonate properly. The engines tailpipe must follow a few
simple rules, and with Pulsejet Calculator 1.4 all you need to do is enter
how much thrust you want the engine to produce, all the rest of the
calculations are taken care of automatically, including sheet metal
layout and cone pattern dimensions!

The program has a lot of information to
help you, so make sure you read the
intro page which explains the various
types of pulsejet engines and the
different valve systems.
The main page of the calculator is
where all the dimensions of the tailpipe
are shown. Simply enter the number of
pounds or killograms thrust you want
the engine to produce, and hit enter.
Dimensions will be created for each
type of valve system. The frequency of
the engine will also be shown at the
bottom of the page.
Once you have entered a thrust value,
you can go to the sheet metal layout
page for either the US or Metric engine.
This page will give you all the needed
dimensions to lay out the sheet metal
patterns for your engine. You can then
cut the pieces of metal to size and roll
the tubes and cones for the engine. In
the Cone creator section more info is
shown about how to layout a cone
pattern.

Pulsejet Calculator 1.4 FAQ and Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting Tips
1) My engine does not sustain properly or only runs on forced air.
If your engine is larger than 5 pounds thrust you may want to use the custom cone
creator page to make a tailpipe flare cone.
I did not automatically include the tailpipe flare into the calculator page because it
really depends on the size of the engine. If you make a small engine you can just
flare the tailpipe with a ball peen hammer instead of making a cone and welding it
on.
The tailpipe flare is an important part of the engine, it allows air to return into the
exhaust pipe a lot easier, and could be the difference between a running and
non-running engine. A tailpipe flare does not need to be drastic, it can be about
10-20% larger than the tailpipe diameter for small to medium engines. For large
engines it could even be 5-10%.
Frequently Asked Questions:
1) Can I have the equations your program uses?
ANSWER: NO! I worked very hard to make these equations, and will not give them
out under any circumstance, unless perhaps lots of money is involved. I have
recieved hundreds of emails about this and I will not answer anyone asking for the
equations or source code for this program.
