Awesome. You should consider the effect of the Reynolds number in the valve. Fluid mechanics is not insensitive to scale and the Reynolds number is the first place to look. It seems to me you need to be in the turbulent regime, Re > 3000, so that turbulence creates resistance to the flow. As a rule of thumb, the more viscous the fluid, the bigger the channels need to be.
Your animations and sound quality are incredible now. Good work my friend!

As a tip for the future, if you are going to make another pulse jet engine, and you don't want it melt, try making it out of some sort of ceramic material. Making a ceramic engine probably won't be easy, but I don't think it will be as expensive as trying to make the engine out of metal.

Old space heaters used to be made out of almost entirely ceramic. If you could find one it might make a good combustion chamber.
if you're using a tesla valve in 3 dimentions really you make a tube and have a series of coniical baffles inside the tube and the cones point the direction you want flow, this works better as it gives a more even 3D flow

1- make a presurre diferential gauge to measure the pressure drop on the valve: simple U before the valve with some transparent hose and fill some of it with oil or water. the diference in height will give you the amount of restriction. to best result regulate the air flow with the reverse valve until you have a 'good height', shut-off, swich the valve to 'open' and compare heights. 2- to the engine itself: since it is stationary there is no 'forced' airflow in the intake like would be in a 'v1' intake. Making the intake duct longer would benefit the overal output by letting the air develop some inertia and 'ram' (like a ram pump) into the combustion chamber. also might help putting some distance between the combustion chamber and the valve: the presure rise in this 'pre-chamber' might help dampen the blowback and push spent gases out. like old Garelli 2stroke engines you will be looking for a ressonant state between intake and output. might be usefull to study some acoustics and chamber chape and volume. if you want to discuss anything feel free to call in private.

You got some good points. Also you might consider a conventional flap valve in front of the Tesla valve. Tesla valve with active safety protecting the flap valve. Also make the valve a 3D object made of rings with arms the same shape in profile as the tear drops that make up the valve.

You have the only great courses add that's integrated into a video that I've ever watched. Nice job! (also, awesome video!)
To make sure your real life testing is accurate enough, the most important thing to pay attention to is the Reynold's number of the fluid in the conduit. A slow flowing liquid can achieve the same Reynold's number as fast moving air. It's called (no surprise) Reynold's number matching and is used to test planes and shit.
Did you know that Tesla invented the electrical equivalent of the valvular conduit as well? It was a coil wrapped around a strong permanent magnet. It allowed current to flow in a preferred direction.

Super Glue is activated by water. It's the same basic idea but super glue reacts with moisture in the air to harden.
For anyone wondering: superglue "dries" by absorbing water (pulling it out of the sorrounding air). And again, there is not enough air (and therefore water) inside the bottle.

If I recall correctly, Tesla mentioned the idea of moving a valvular conduit rapidly back and forth along its length to produce a difference in pressure between manifolds at each end. It would make an interesting fluid pump... In a closed loop, if the v-c moves in the direction of low resistance, the fluid would remain relatively stationary, at first. When the v-c moves in the direction of high resistance, the fluid would be dragged along with it, resulting in flow. Thanks for your work. :-)
All the sibs working together on a project in total harmony. If you ever form a group, you could call it "The Three Phases".
When I watched the video and you started testing those narrow channel valves with paint, I immediately thought that the viscosity of the paint would play way too big a role - you would need much wider channels to get a useful test for that fluid. Luckily you caught the error in your ways yourself - good job, and thanks for sharing the video. It's the best I've seen from you so far. 👍
Quite possibly the best ad-read ever! Great courses plus needs to give you a nice christmas bonus for this one!
In my opinion you CAN manage to use use 3D printing to make the engine instead of metal parts, but you'd have to coat it's inside with some form of heat resistant polymer. When making the valve for the engine, try rotating the model shape so you'll end up with a round tubular structure instead of lots of little squares with the valves inside (maybe it will not work because of the large ratio between the outer and inner flux, that ratio will get changed due to the rotation since the outer part will draw a much larger circumference, but it is worth a shot, maybe the new shape will make the return in the outer part faster, allowing for better blockage of the outcoming fluid), or you can also extrude the shape, widen it so that you get a larger section allowing more flow, and maybe thin some passages so that the flow returning goes faster than the outcoming one (helping the blockage as said earlier)
To help with the overheating issues on the 3D printed pulsejet, try taking a page out of the NASA book, and build cooling coils/channels into the chamber that you can circulate fuel (or simple water if using a gaseous fuel) through to help get the fuel to the proper temps before combustion.
The quality of these videos are so amazing!!!! Keep it up chief! 💯
For the pulse jet... Try using multiple T-valves in parallel. I mean a lot of them. Jets are hungry for air and any airflow restrictions ("choking") will significantly decrease theyr power. Unless you feed them with oxygen directly, turning them into rocket engines. Definitely would love to see that.
Just for the record, a naming ceremony is a christening. No matter, LOVE your channel! Thank you!
Colin furze is the man for pulse jets. As far as KZread goes. Not sure how he feels about tomatoes. How do you feel about tea? A video of you 2 just talking would be epic.
About the simulation: the mass flow must stay constant unless it dissapeared. So the velocity won't be much different, but what you're really looking for is pressure drop, which is basically a measure of resistance for the flow
I have a few ideas for a new version of a pulse engine: 1. You can use water which is between two walls to prevent the plasic from melting. 2. The second is to cover the engine with aluminium foil and some isolating materials. 3. I think a 3 dimensional tesla valve would fit better.
A good way to measure the efficacy of a seal for gases is a leak down test. Used commonly in internal combustion engines to check leakage rates in the engine, you could use the same method to measure the difference in flow (pressure) for each direction of the tesla valve. Basically you feed the valve steady pressure, and a second gauge measures actual pressure in the chamber. The difference in the readings between the two gauges (pressure fed and pressure actual) tells you how bad the leak is. The closer the actual pressure is to the fed pressure, the better the seal is. If the tesla valve works, you'll note a difference between 1 direction over the other. The nice part about the leak down test method, is you can vary the pressure you're sending to the valve and test it at different pressure levels to see if the efficacy of the valve is better or worse at higher pressures.
If he never claims the printer, you should rename Edison to Puddlez. It does make magic from puddles. : )
The liquid testing of the valve had other problems. The valve was filled with air, with the liquid viewed being the first to enter. This causes an extreme difference in testing and real world performance, in this case making the valve look worse, as the first liquid to reach the end would have no counterflow interactions to deal with (as it only meets the counterflow of air until the paths get filled). I would strongly suggest keeping a flow of water running the entire time, and adding dyes to the water to demonstrate it. If one wanted to test a rapid pulse then keeping it submerged and adding a pulse of dyed water would do the same. This way the counterflow path is still pushing back as the new water displaces the counterflow into the path of the oncoming water. And of course slow water simulates very fast air due to the Reynolds number differences (about 10 fold speed difference). Though as this valve relies on counterflows and aggressively forced turbulence I would not expect the diodicity to vary by extremes when testing between the two. As long as one wants only a very rough guide using water should be fine. The size of the valve of course has an effect too. Though that said we can't really simulate the compressibility of air at all with water, but its certainly a good tool to simulate and demonstrate anyway.
it really is inspiring to see how passionate you are for this channel, im in the process of making my own pulse jet engine because of your videos. thank you man, dont stop making vids:D
How is nobody talking about that shirt? I've never seen a finer garment! If I weren't already subscribed I would have subscribed because of that shirt.
make the discs on the tesla turbine more rugged so that the viscous effect is improved: by means of texturing them or by creases/wrinkles/ridges, hope it helps
I think you should put a fluidic oscillator at the end of the fuel source in the pulse jet to get the best fuel mixing. A fluidic oscillator is something really cool, if you're reading this, check it out
My recommendation is to study (or steal) information about the pulse jet, more especificaly, how much air you engine needs. Since you have to size the valve to mach the engine, you need to know up to what specs you need or what compromises you have to made on the desing.
Eccentric Cones. 1/4 the diameter of the flat circle. Make sure you can't see through it, and it should work. Make 4 cones for the air inlet. Air goes into the wide mouth, narrow eccentric, opens into another cone wide to narrow,... Make sure if flow reverses, air hits a cone, only same distance between cones as diameter of hole.
Well done Video! I really like your artistic parts as well as your practical scientific parts
The performance of the valve can be different when you make it larger because the flow can shear-driven or pressure-driven, dependent on the relation between the viscosity of the fluid and the size of the channels. Also, the viscosity varies with temperature.

A good indicator of the goodness of the design in the simulation is not the difference of velocity between the inlet and the outlet. those velocities should pretty much match because of continuity. The real indicator is how much pressure difference you need to achieve a given velocity. That is what you actually did with the physical model. In any case, I really enjoy your videos.
I have been looking into the tesla valve for use in a turbineless jet engine. The main challenge is not one of air pressure, but air volume. You will likely need to take the tesla valve three dimensional, arraying numerous modules axially about a radius. You may be able to stretch the valve in two dimensions, but I have a feeling you will still fall short of the needed airflow volume. Try the simple idea first though as I have a tendency to underestimate reality and assume lasers and holograms are necessary to solve the problem. One advantage you may find with the tesla valve and pulse jet is that the high pressures inside the pulse jet will favor the tesla valve design while the low atmospheric pressures are less affected by it. In a moving jet engine, a few reversed stages early in the setup could be used to provide self-throttling of the intake. You may also find that a water-soluble fuel, or a water injection into the combustion may radically improve thrust for static applications, particularly involving turbines. The water converts thermal energy to gas expansion far more efficiently than raw thermal heating under many scenarios. I expect it would work very well for a tesla turbine driving a load.
Love your research work on your projects and of course the way you edit the videos.😉
One good pulsejet design is to get a can that requires an opener cut a hole in both sides with one getting a pipe attached and the other a valve, drilled holes in the front with valves supply the fuel.
I worked for a company that scrapped passenger jets. The owner had me make art from exotic metals mostly from jet engines. Dream job? Yep. Short lived tho. I want to suggest that you look near you for a jet engine "scrapper". You want turbine blades from the "hot section" of the engine. It is basically sheet metal with a fat end on it at that point. Next hire a CNC machinist to carve your valve and a person that Tig welds to fabricate the rest of the engine. I wish that I could come to your house to help you. I have been welding exotic Stainless steels and titaniums for over 40 years. Yes the T-Rex had titanium fillings in his teeth. It took a lot of NO2 to knock them out...Anyway I wish you all the best of everything and lack for nothing. I can hardly wait to see what you do next.
Geez for that much effort, I hope they funded you well for your add. Keep up the good work
To visualise the flow, consider using a particle suspended in water, like cut oats, which are ecologically safe.
Think of bottle necks. You don't need the whole bottle. Just the capped funnel shape. Took me forever to get afterburners on a penny can alcohol burner. One foot of one inch pipe has 4 times the volume as one foot of 1/2 inch pipe. I found a large number of small intake holes to a smaller number of bigger exhaust holes worked best.
If you want your pulse-jet to work, you will need to find a way to maximize airflow. The jet will require a lot of air to function properly. You could just scale up the size of the valve, but my personal suggestion would be to modify it so that is 3-dimensional, something like a K-baffle. I don't know if it would have enough resistance, but it might solve the airflow problem. Alternatively, you could stretch the design you already have out so that it is of similar proportion in cross-section but is much thicker.
My mind was blown, when you said "It's a Bomb!". Great video, can't wait for the next one...
Instead of syringes use two parties balloons filled with paint to a point before the elastic start stretching, the goal is to use them only as bags, the balloons go inside something like a soda bottle, the rest of the space inside the bottle is filled with water, three tubings go inside the bottle, one to each balloon and other to inject more water inside the bottle, now just inject more water in the bottle and get the same pressure in both colors.
I have a question and an advise: Why don't you print 3d funnels inside the tube? The exit would have a straight line without any resistance, but the "inhale" would be much harder, because it would swirl on the whole surface of the reversed funnels Like this in 3D: Suck in air -> { { { { {

brilliant . top notch quality per usual! Cannot wait for the next video!
What you really need to do is fill up the Tesla Conduit with a rainbow of paint and oscillate the pressure on the output end. Oscillating air at some 100Hz must have similar flow dynamics to a much more viscous fluid at a slower frequency. What you're trying to ascertain is not only the ratio of resistance but also if it acts on average as a one way check valve. You know if it was a one way check valve you could draw paint through for 5 seconds and then push back for 5 seconds and have 5 seconds worth of paint collected. For the Tesla Conduit you need to do this same Draw for 5 seconds and counter flow as hard as possible for 5 seconds and find out how many seconds of paint you end up with if this amount of paint is too small a fraction of what the check valve will accumulate then you'll never be able to sustain the pulse jet.
use an arduino to open and close a fuel injector and fire an ignitor. Cheap parts from a car wreckers, you need a pump and regulator too. that guarantees a clean clear ignition at whatever rate and mixture you care to dial in
Larger pulsejets are much easier to start and can be run on common fuels. Small pulsejets are tricky, and often need much more volatile fuels. This is because smaller ones operate at a higher frequency, so the fuel has to be able to burn much faster for it to run. Make the largest one you can reasonably make.
Probably one of the best sponsor transitions and integrations ever
Hello Integza although it is not a Pulse Jet engine there is a really nice turbojet engine plan around for the KJ-66 Turbojet design by Kurt Schreckling. Maybe it is interesting for you! This engine can be recreated with minimal tool use.
put tiny rocket nozzles in the exit of the reverse flow portion. when gas goes through it, it'll create all sorts of havoc because it'll go supersonic into non-supersonic gas.
String instrumentals are always a good choice to lay over slow motion shots of combustion.
I can help with the glue conundrum. The reason why superglue doesn't harden in the bottle is almost the same, except backwards, of why the white glue doesn't harden in the bottle. In both cases the bottle creates a barrier for water. As you found with your investigations with the white glue, the bottle keeps the moisture inside the bottle and prevents the glue from drying out. With superglue, the bottle keeps moisture outside the bottle. Why is that important? It's important because it is moisture that allows the acrylic monomers in the superglue to polymerize by reacting with the hydroxide ions in water.
Try the Tesla valve in tubing. The flow restriction is higher in reverse flow in tubing. Tesla’s design patient application may have been in a cross-sectional layout becauseTesla always thought in circular designs. Use clear solid plastic tubing to allow for visual flow. Just a thought and your sisters just showed you up. 11 years old is the crazy age too and she does have you as a brother! I think it runs in families. Lol love you video’s.

Love the sponsor skit. Might as well get a good chuckle out of the sponsors everyone has anyway lol
Keep up your amazing content, your videos are always so entertaining!
for a pulse jet engine the time it task for the pressure to go through the valve in both direction is most important. Think of the impedance of the valve, and the resonance frequency of both the combustion chamber and the valve. The valve has two different resonance frequencies for the two directions. What you want is: The wave length corresponding to the resonance frequency of the combustion chamber should correpond to the length of the valve in the open direction, and be odd in respect of the closed direction of the valve. So the fresh air arrives just in the write moment, but the exhaust is not only slowed down by the valve, but actually reflected, by the odd length. Your colorful measurement check only the flow rate, not the flow speed, which is more important for a pulse jet engine to work. Try to push sound waves through the valve, and measure the damping effect in both directions relative to the changing frequencies.
Did you know that someone designed a 3 dimensional version of the tesla valve? It's available on thingiverse if you would like to try it out. I printed it once and it seemed to work. The thingiverse id is: 15511
I believe you need to rethink why a fluid (air) flows through a tesla valve (a pressure difference between each side of the valve), and how does that apply to a pulse jet engine application. During operation, the inside of a pulse jet engine will have high pressure just after igniting the fuel, and low pressure just before the next ignition. On the other hand, the engine's inlet air pressure will start out at just one atmosphere (when the engine is stationary), and will increase with the inlet's pressure being mostly a function of the air scoop's cross section, the rocket's velocity, and the air's density. My sugestion is to Start with estimating the high and low pressures inside the engine. Additionally estimate pressure at the inlet under no forward motion and at some chosen rocket velocity with a given nose cone. Starting with educated guesses as to those pressure differences will help determine test the valve's expected performance. Just a thought, what if the length of a pulse jet rocket engine were just one long tesla valve after another. And lets have the fuel ignited in the last 1/3 of the engine. Hot high presure air exits out the tail end with relative ease but little air can return through the tail end. While air can easily enter the front of the ricket, but not be easily pushed out the front. I belive that restricting air flowing into the engine from the tail end might help imprive the efficency. That, or all the extra channels that the exhaust has to flow through rob the engine of power, or some combination of both.
Don't forget that the engine needs a lot of air. No "straw" can accomodate that. Put some of the valves in parallel for more flow.
Finally u got a sponsor. So happy for you dude, love the content
Rocking the family to assist in production. Great work, mate! Another excellent video as well. Schweet!!!
Your "add" is better than most videos on KZread :)
Remember that a pulsating pressure will experience impedance characteristics the same way AC electrical currents do. Ideally, you want the conduit to have low impedance in one direction and high impedance in the other. As with AC circuits, impedance is a function of frequency. Using steady flows is like DC current and so there is resistance but no frequency-dependent components in play. As with high performance IC engines, the system needs to be tuned for optimal efficiency based on the frequency of pulses. Your designs will require similar impedance tuning before they will perform well. And in this case, you need tuning for low impedance in one direction and a different tuning in the opposite direction for maximum impedance. How are you at differential equations?

There are right 2 things floating my mind. At first, Tesla obviously didn't have the technology to cheaply build a valve like this, utilizing the 3d dimension as well. If you have those swirling chambers in multiple directions (let's say 6 per stage), you were to increase the blocking resistance. Also i suspect much better results if those flow disturbing chambers were to feed each other instead of "just crushing" into the main flow. It's kinda hard to explain. I could sketch it in an 3d application though, if you are interested.
hiiii Integza i was waiting for your video !!
O my goody goodness integza, you are a genius. Very cool that you continued the idea of the tesla pulse jet!
To improve the tesla valve u need to make it thinner, the wider it is the less sheer stress it afects the flow, at least in the reverse situation this should help, about the ratio im not sure about how much this helps
