Hi,
   I had followed the thread on H2O2 some time back.
   I've got an Idea which might sound too Crazy to work.
   But there might be someone just as crazy as me, who might
   have tried this before.

   How about a Small Aluminium pipe(2" Dia) with a small
   DC motor powering a small Propeller to force air through
   the Pipe. Slightly ahead, there will be a small copper
   tubing with a very small orifice to supply some combustible
   gas(acetylene or propane) into the chamber. And there would
   be a small spark plug or whatever to ignite the air/fuel
   mixture.

   I guess the combusted gases would rush out of the other end
   of the pipe, creating a bit of thrust. I don't know if this
   would work. Adding a reed valve like the one in V1 Pulse Jet engine
   between the propeller and the  combustion section might make
   it better. I believe the lenght of this contraption may be no more
   than 4 to 5 inches.

   Anyone has ever tried this before? Any better/simpler Ideas ?
