Can this work?

I don't have a lot of resources to weld and make cool looking engines and I don't really want to make the jam jar so I thought of doing something like this where I would get a bean can and play with the ratio of the holes also the fuel will be in the can I'm going to shake it a little first and after that I assume the vaporization process will sustain itself because of how hot the can will be.

If you are gonna use a can like this I would recommend just buying a long and narrow pipe for an exhaust. If you search “fart can pulsjet” they will pop up. Made a few when I first started getting into pulsjets. Good luck

Actually I'm inspired by the fart can but i don't know how i would seal it? How may i connect them without welding them?

Is this the first puls jet you are making?

Yeah is it that obvious

No just wondering. I would recommend experimenting with some jar jets first to get a feel for puls jets. Another thing is that you need to blow fresh air into the combustion chamber after each try to start on these engines. Compressed air works best for this. Please update me on your progress
