Build Your Own Cruise Missile

WegianWarrior writes "Bruce Simpson, the man behind one of the more interesting site about pulsejets on the web, has launched a project to build a US$5000 DIY cruisemissile - just to prove that it can be done, since some said his earlier article about it was off the peg. Bruce has also designed and placed on his site a non-weld pulsejet you can build with simple tools, a 2D airflow modeling rig and a new valve/injector design for conventional pulsejets (according to the first page on his site, this new design is placed in the public domain)." We linked to his pulsejet pages about two years ago.

    The DIY a-bomb, DIY chemical weapons, DIY bioweapons? Maybe they can have kids build these in schools! Let's all kill each other!

    Seeing as how New Zealand doesn't have an air force, this could help them a lot!

  3. This pisses me off. by kevlar · · Score: 1, Flamebait


    I know that this isn't on the scale of building a nuke, but this pisses me off. Creating a cookbook on how to make a virtually anonymous precision weapon is sickening. The majority of the deranged in this world who would love to launch such a thing are not intelligent enough to piece one together until someone comes along and publishes instructions and guidelines.

    Just when does this become illegal or a threat to the public?

    Oh wait, al Qaeda hates Australia and New Zealand now, too!

    Why would Al Qaeda or any Arab/Muslim group target New Zealand? Unlike Australia, New Zealand didn't join up to America's "Oil for Zionism" crusade.
