This is the designer of the valveless pulsejets we saw in Hiller's chapter (Hiller and Lockwood, see).

-We received an illustration on the operation diagram of his pulsejet, with both outputs incorporating augmenters.

-Maybe due to poor performance, the use of augmenters at the outputs are attempts for compensation.

-Augmenters are devices that use the Bernoulli principle to create a stream of fresh air that is introduced into said nozzles by the low pressure created by the jet of the main exhaust.

From Appendix 7: We localized some variants on the idea of ​​this brand's valveless pulsejet.

-And finally an exercise in imagination: two Lockwoods used as "Boosters" in a pilotless plane.
