FABRICATION AND TESTING OF A LOW COST PULSE JET

THIS DOCUMENT DESCRIBES A PROPOSAL BY M-DOT INC. TO DESIGN, FABRICATE AND TEST A 110 LB. THRUST PULSEJET ENGINE TO BE USED AS A RESEARCH TOOL TO EVALUATE THE FOLLOWING CONCEPTS: 1. MICROPROCESSOR CONTROLLED ELECTRIC FUEL INJECTION. 2. HIGH DURABILITY VALVED AND VALVELESS INLET DESIGNS. 3. OXYGENATED FUEL BLENDS FOR INCREASED THRUST. THE PHASE I PROGRAM WOULD ACCOMPLISH THE FOLLOWING TASKS: 1. DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF A BASIC VALVED TEST ENGINE WITH CONTINUOUS FEED FUEL SYSTEM. 2. STATIC TESTING OF SAME TO VERIFY PERFORMANCE. 3. FABRICATION AND TEST OF ALTERNATE INLET VALVE CONFIGS. 4. FABRICATION ND TEST OF A CLOSED LOOP, MICROPROCESSOR CONTROLLED FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM. ALL DESIGN AND FABRICATION WORK WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED AT THE M-DOT FACILITY IN PHOENIX. TESTING WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED ON A TRUCK MOUNTED, FULLY INSTRUMENTED TEST STAND AT A REMOTE LOCATION.
