EQP PULSEJET PROPOSAL

For my AQA EPQ i'm proposing to design and build a pulse jet.

This was spurred from seeing a clip of an old scrapheap challenge episode where they raced rocket powered carts-the winner being powered by a Pulsejet engine.
I have the ambition of doing an engineering degree so this is an area of immense interest and works upon my current studies of physics and maths.

The main purpose of this project is showing that I can make a functioning Pulsejet and although in the back of my mind I would like to attach it to a go-cart or something, that is not the ultimatum of the project.
