The tin can pulse jet works!

A twenty eight second run.

Anyone care to take up the challenge of a longer run?

A giant step for Cankind?

Is this for launching a pork pie into orbit?

No but a suitable pie can make a pulse jet out of me.

Thank you for your patience.

Here's a short clip of my Lister D engine to bridge the gap.

That's got a nice thrum to it. Is it tuneable?

I suspect that the resonant frequency and its harmonics will be linked to the diameter of the can, the height of the free air column in the can and the diameter of the hole. The first two are more or less constant - the free air column hight will grow as the meths burns off but the rate of change is slow. So in essence, no.

Shame. A jet engine orchestra would be awesome.
