Can you make your instructions a little more clearer for making a jet nozzle?

this reminds me of a hobby blowtorch i have you pour methalated spirits in it and the vapors Make the flame !

Hey, nice instructable! I also noticed the ruler. "fox valley savings" Is this fox valley in Australia?

Have you considered giving it a direct O2 feed? You could probably crank it higher.. Electrolyze some water and pump it to your intake.. Its a nice job.. I feel sorry for ppl who waste money on toy guns etc just to get basic parts that can be substituted though.. I made some jet nozzles to give my butane torch (which actually uses cheap lighters as fuel cells) various flames.. I did quite a bit of research, I should still have a bunch of data still on my hdd.. (If I find them can you read *.djvu files?) I also ended up making a similar flame out of parafin, but that took alot of preheated O2.. Without the heat I couldn't fully burn the parafin as it melted, and got drops out the bottom.. I was running it through 20' hot coiled copper tubing Its pretty cool what can happen when your fuel gets to burn oxygen rich.. Any flame that can be strengthened by blowing on it is oxygen deficient, and thats just wasteful..:)

You could use hydrogen gas along with pure oxygen , but it would get very hot because hydrogen burns with a very hot flame

Well i did the nozzle and when i fired id up and it was just like i am igniting a lighter :O there was no "jet flame" help :( :( :(
Jan 8, 2009. 3:06 PMMario1 says:
Is there any hole on the "v" thing? Please, reply.

Ok, thank you :) i'm subscribing! :P

i have a metal pen body i am a little confused about the nozzle thing where dose the v go? am i cutting the tube or pushing it in? its the the nossle that lets out the gas into the pen body? somebody help!
Oct 18, 2008. 7:36 AMjunits15 says:
oh now i get it, this is just a method of making the end smaller.

I actually use a 6mm aluminium tube from a BB gun in this lates design that's wierd, when I first saw this I was like huh, didn't someone mention this idea then I noticed it was you, i must add the new bit, also aluminum is a good material...
Mar 31, 2008. 3:32 AMkillerjackalope says:
Yeah, the newest version is quite insane, nearly finished, what I need is more fuel/air coming through the nozzle, time to make my own.
Sep 14, 2008. 1:45 AMdark_stars_2000 says:
have you tried a small air compressor? also that computer fan idea posted on your instructable by a reader was quite clever two :)
Aug 18, 2008. 1:04 PMkoolsk8ter111 says:
ohh if this tube don't work do you know where I can by A diferent one?
Aug 18, 2008. 2:58 AMkoolsk8ter111 says:
Yes I took mine out of the airgun, but i'm saying mine is dicast metal if i'm not mistaken. here is A video of me holding it click this link:
Aug 18, 2008. 2:59 AMkoolsk8ter111 says:
sorry just play the video there is no link lol
Aug 17, 2008. 9:48 AMkoolsk8ter111 says:
I think my metal pen barrel is dicast metal.
Aug 15, 2008. 7:10 PMkoolsk8ter111 says:
Sorry. not Cm it is mm. So its 8 and a 1/2 mm long and a 1/2 mm wide, with a screw head on one side. (The pen barrel in the last comment I made) sorry I said Cm it is mm the pen barrel lol........
Aug 15, 2008. 5:43 PMkoolsk8ter111 says:
Is there A tool I have to cut it with? And my metal pen barrel don't look like A barrel, it is thin with A screw head sticking out on one side. Can I still use it? Its about 8 and a 1/2 Cm long, and A 1/2 Cm wide.
Aug 15, 2008. 11:38 AMkoolsk8ter111 says:
I took my barrel out and it has no hole. do I have to cut it? And if I do have to cut it, what do I cut it with?
Apr 21, 2008. 8:37 PMthedog458 says:
hey ummm this is gona sound dumb but why do u need the v shape at the end?
Apr 24, 2008. 12:07 AMthedog458 says:
ok thanks
Apr 1, 2008. 4:22 PMkillerjackalope says:
Oh the jet engine research is going well, when I say research I mean insane ideas with dodgy testing has led me up to the point of using a set of parts but will have a good instructable including larger nozzle construction and it'll now be a bit closer to a fully fledged jet engine, still non turbo, I'm running a butane torch as a tester fuel source but by the end I might even get it running on alcohol or lighter fluid...
