@@richardmillhousenixon I think you underestimate how noisy a pulsejet engine is. Not even the great howl of the J79 turbojet can approach the noise of even a modestly sized pulsejet. Pulsejets are literally rapid explosions (technically deflargations). That percussive sound travels much farther and is less attenuated by walls/structures than the high pitch whine of a turbojet. I'm not saying this thing isn't loud, it surely is. I'd even recommend doubling up on hearing protection when that close to it (muffs + plugs). It's still not as loud as a pulsejet, and a pulsejet isn't as loud as a pulse detonation engine.

Yep. This definitely isn’t 100% hand cranked because you simply couldn’t crank it fast enough either through speed or gearing by hand. A series-wound starter is tantamount to a short circuit directly to ground when stationary. This is why they provide such an awesome amount of torque and have been used to move locomotives for almost a century and make EVs ridiculously fast…. but they draw about 1000-1500 amps on startup. The current goes down very quickly after the engine starts turning due to the back EMF in the starter motor. On the King Air 200 to start the second engine you do a “generator assisted” start. Since the generator produces 28V and the battery 24V (though the starter reduces this by quite a bit) it wants to take the power from the generator first which will destroy brushes and blow current limiters.. so you turn it off until the engine has lit off and is accelerating, then you turn it on so it can help start the engine. On the King Air 350… it has a generator control unit that automatically limits the current on the generator during a start sequence.

Love watching the dinosaur bottle deplete itself so fast. When I was in high school we took an engineering class. In this class the instructor brought two rc jet engines. They were very real jet engines that ran on jp8 and although tiny they offered a significant amount of thrust. He had an idea to put those engines on a go kart and then we would drive it around the school parking lot. For the class final exams he gave each group of students a different aspect of the project to work on. One group dealt with the stopping another on steering and other chassis items. And another group mounting engines and such. We got to use everything he taught us about 3d design and printing along with using solid works and cnc equipment. It was a truly blessed opportunity that I sadly didn’t take full advantage of. The point of this story is I remember the first time we test ran one of the engines to get an idea of how serious the brakes needed to be. We watched our fuel cell drain the same way. To me with jet engines when it comes to fuel efficiency the answer is simply no. The only way to get good fuel economy in a jet is to fly as fast as possible!

Nice bit of kit there. Drank that few litres of fuel in no time. What was this engine originally used in?

Hi Paul, the engine was original fitment for the Percival Jet Provost Mk3 trainer, which was also used for the RAF display team "Red Pelicans" before days of the "Red Arrows". Oh, and at idle it drinks fuel at a rate of 60 gallons an hour, so the container you see is worth about a minute.

@@peteterpeluk1020 I am not sure if you did this intentionally, But I like the way you let it spool down some before the fuel ran out, so that it could cool off. Again, Not sure if this is intentional or even needed for just one min run up (would it get too hot after just one min, lots of heat sink metal there, and so much heat thrown out the back.

@@brycering5989 Hi, thanks for your comment. The simple answer is that I didn't want the fuel system gulping air which would then need to be purged. After the sixty seconds running the engine barely gets too warm to touch.

My question also ! Where did you get that engine ??? I would love one too ! Did it cost much ? Very expensive ??
Originally the Viper came from the Rolls-Royce Aero-engine school in Derby. Cost around £2000 and a further £1000 to see it run in the video. No, it wasn't working and had been used for instruction, so many seals were missing or useless. I had no intention of running it, but simply motoring it got boring! There has been a Viper on ebay quite recently for £2500, a good price.

Great video. Glad it's yours and not mine. I hated those things when I had to work on them and now that I'm retired, don't miss them. The sound of that whine never leaves your head. Not bad now, hang a prop on it , and tip speed is unbelievable. Brain piercing scream even with ear muffs on. Love the RR engines (except this sound !!!).

I love you for filming right up to the point where the engine stops turning completely (and you even announced it) It annoys me when people stop filming a shut down clips while propellers and rotors are still moving. Great clip. Thank you Sir....
