Snake's Glass Challenge

[ALIEN!]

I cant blow right now due to a few reasons, so maybe one or more of you badasses can pull of this wacky idea of mine.

The challenge: Make a functional glass pulse-jet engine! If you don't know what one is, search YouTube or run a wiki.
Bonus cookie points: incorporate the engine into a pipe (or whatever you like), power your tonka truck maybe?


Rule # 1: You gotta post a video of working engine for proof of course silly.:cam:

Rule # 2: Engine must be fuel driven. (non fuel resonator pipe would be cool too though):flamethro

Rule # 3: When things go wrong along the way you must yell and swear and flail your arms about until you feel better like I do:rant:

Rule # 4: Share your newfound experience and knowledge with the group here at GLDG. Patents are for sissies.:copyright


That's all, just never saw it before, thought it would be raw as hell, and I don't see why it couldn't be done providing the vibration doesn't shatter the piece.

Prize: you are my hero, my idol, my god. Im working on getting my shit back together right now, so I really have nothing to offer but praise. But who knows, maybe I could fashion a trophy out of a bottle of Jack and a bugle and take a picture?:jack:

Good luck contestants and may the force be with you!http://farm1.static.flickr.com/1/52985_e5c07399c5.jpg

sooooo, "stay the course"?

[jr23]

looks like the simplified version is a jar with some cox fuel and the right size hole in the lid. Which could be made out of a point with a flat end to stand on. The only variables would be size of hole,volume of point and amount of fuel. enjoy! But I think you are asking for the version with u shaped tube and a line for fuel gas.

Ugh. Bad colors. So hungover I can't even look at that text now.

I think the real trick will be making a lexan shield to stand behind to test it so you don't get boro embedded in your face if it explodes. Looks fun though!

Ther is a flaw in the minds of most glass workes{myself included} and that is we constantly try to make out off glass what would be best made with complex alloys

Ugh. Bad colors. So hungover I can't even look at that text now.
I felt the same way, it was making me errrmm, "motion sick"? for lack of a better word

Have you not yet sussed out Snake's cunning plan?

Invite fellow glass peeps to make stuff that could kill them, thus annihilating potential competition.

That's ingenuity right there.

how about a glass potato gun

[Swampy]

how about a glass potato peeler, you could do somebody in with that...

[ALIEN!]

Or an RPG even! lol Sorry bout the loud colors, guess i wasnt thinking bout potential for vertigo (or was I) And yes JR23, the U shaped tube style would be the one. Oh and DAMN YOU SWAMPY for exposing my diabolical plot!!!!! Anyway, If I ever get my Hurricane back from Jack (was still warm out when i sent it in) im gonna give 'er a go too. Too broke here right now to buy o2. Im just looking for fun shit to do with glass. Im out of the game here. Not gonna bother with pipes anymore except for friends and such. Ill be doing some raw sculpture stuff soon though, hopefully around New Year's I'll have some pics and tales to share. Thanks all for taking interest in my crazy idea. BTW, anyone out there plan on trying?
