If a turbo charger from a vehicle is added the efficiency can be increased but so is the cost. Enjoy.

Err from my Aircraft Engine training in the RAF and yes I did Pulse Jets on the course, gawd knows why, ( mind you we did all the piston engine stuff as well, sleeve valves, radials, rotary's, the lot), you need shutters at the front that move, when the fuel lights the shutters close, then when it goes out and the pressure drops they open allowing air in. Hence the pulses...so it actually has moving parts, otherwise it would be a ramjet.
