Default guess what im about to build

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

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.

Build cost.... seems to be spending more on tools than car bits at the moment! (they will be handy in the future though).

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.
