Advanced Thermalpulse “Chinese” Valveless Pulsejet Engine
January 7, 2011 by admin
Filed under Fuel Economy
www.Beck-Technologies.com Advanced chinese-style valveless pulsejet engine, running on propane, it gets so hot that the stainless steel starts to burn! A valveless pulsejet is a type of jet engine with no moving parts. It can run statically and be throttled over a wide range. Unlike turbojet turbine engines they do not have any spool up time, and can be throttled to back and forth from minimum to maximum throttle many times a second. While they do get extremely hot, they are surprisingly efficient compared to hobby RC turbine engines. Pulsejets have no moving parts, and they use sound waves to compress the fuel air mixture. This natural compression is very efficient, compared to mechanical compression of turbines and turbojets. Because of this a good valveless engine will actually be more fuel efficient than the average hobby turbine, and if you use a thrust augmenter duct with the pulsejet, the efficiency can easily jump to twice that of a turbine. When you combine this, with the fact that they have no moving parts, require no complex precision machining required by extremely high RPM parts, you have a very attractive engine, that costs 10 times less than a cheap hobby turbine. No moving parts also means no real maintenance. Hobby turbines should be taken apart and inspected each run, and many parts like the bearings need frequent replacement, most hobby turbines need a complete overhaul of all moving parts after 20 hours. For not much more than the cost of a ducted fan …

Filed under Electric Cars
The International financial crisis in 2008 has seriously affected the global automobile industry. Four largest automobile companies lost their previous prosperity and looked for breakout to save them. There is no exception for Chinese automobile industry, which is still in its rising period.

The total automobile sales volumes reached to 9.38 million, rising by 6.7% compared with 2007, but the growth speed declined by 15% compared with 2007. There was a sharp reduction in the profits of Chinese automobile manufacturers.
In 2008, FAW Volks, Shanghai Volks and Shanghai GE stood the top three sales volumes respectively in Chinese automobile market. However, the independent brand, such as Chery, dropped in market shares, totally accounting for only about 25.92% in the whole automobile sales volumes.
In order to promote the development of Chinese automobile manufacture under international financial crisis, Chinese government approved the Revitalization Plans of Automobile Industry in January of 2009. The major contents concluded: reducing the purchase tax of passenger automobiles with low emissions; offering purchase subsidy policy to specific targets so as to promote automobile consumption; advancing Mergers and acquisitions among automobile industry; supporting Chinese automobile manufacturers to develop independent innovation and technical reform; driving the development of electric powered automobiles and its crucial accessories; supporting Chinese automobile manufacturers to develop independent brands; speeding up the export base construction of automobile and accessories.
Compared with the international automobile patterns, China is getting to be the manufacture center and cost center. Under the existing circumstances, Chinese automobile manufacture has an advantage of low cost compared with the developed countries. However, various costs are rising in Chinese automobile industry. As far as accessories are concerned, China has no advantage in the high quality accessories. The medium quality accessories have been developed in recent years. China has to compete with India and Vietnam in the low quality manufacture, such as batteries and tires etc.
