As the title suggests,
Iv got a few bits of tube, a spark plug, old magneto drive attached to a drill, some plate, 4 old two stroke reed valves and a propane tank with a regulator and some tube.
The person with the correct answer can turn it on while i film from a safe distance.
Fire brigade have been notified:D

Have you ever heard a pulse jet? I wouldn't do it in you garage lol.
Also my mates on my old Sqn at topcliffe will get the blame for the noise if you do it within 5 miles of your home lol.

If you use a glow type pug instead of a spark plug you will not need the alternator or drill and it should run by itself.
