I was thinking a little about reed valves and combustion pressure, and I 
thought about Pulse Jets as used in the V1 Buzz Bombs. That is basically a 
reed valve, combustion chamber, injector nozzle, ingiter, and open exhaust. 
Couldn't have much combustion pressure, but enough to lift at least 1000 lbs? 
I guess a reed valve could be made pretty solid, but than it would be slow 
acting I think. 3 or 4 "automatic valves" that open when exposed to vacuum 
could be placed around the spark plug. Any input on this? I don't want to do 
it I just want to think about it.   Rich Fox
