Why do you need a tesla valve? Has anyone tried this?
- pluto9 6y agoYou need something to make sure the hot air only comes out one end of the engine, otherwise you get net zero thrust. In a normal jet the compressor takes care of this.
- handol 6y agoYou don't strictly need one. There are designs that rely on exhaust pulse resonance for pressure. There are designs that use various kinds of mechanical valves. It looks like (propane fuel) tesla valve pulse jets have been built, but I'm not seeing anything flight capable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYZhZ_qNKfE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYZhZ_qNKfE
