Can you make a small soda can jet? If possible can you show me how to? Answered

I just saw this video and the guy who made it said it had one or 2 pounds of thrust. Jet Engine Made Out Of Empty Beer Cans! 

Just wanted to show you.

a) Do you have a link?
b) a lot of things get said on Youtube without being true!
c) you can make pulse jets - similar to the jet used to propel the V1 rocket in ww2 although I still think that aluminium will melt. beer cans tend to be made from steel.

2 pounds of thrust from something weighing in at a few ozs is quite a lot and you would see more being used by the modelling fraternity as power to weight is always something they are looking for.

You can see in animated engines how a pulse jet works (see my previous post)

It wasnt youtube it was an intractable. I already made a pulse jet already tho so i wanted to make something new.

There as a number of " jet " engines here but mostly as they say they don't work, and for the beer can engine - also here it doesn't say it produces thrust and as yet no video showing that either.


The best option I have seen is to use an old car or lorry turbo charger.

Other than that there is a lot of engineering involved to get it going.

PS beer can engine used Boddington cans that are steel.

Thanks for all the info. I guess when i make one i will need to put more money and time into it to make it produce thrust.

Thats cool how those aeolipiles work!
