Yes I do!

It was called the "Loudmouth" and burned acetylene, air, oil and water.
Really simple design, three pistons on a common shaft. Firing piston in the
center with a compressor piston on either end. The compressor pistons used
flap valves and the exhaust was piston port. Large rocket nozzle and water
injection afterburner. Weighed around 20 lbs and put out around 80 hp in
thrust alone.

Man did I have plans for one of those babies! Of course I was pretty young
and didn't order the plans.

Plans? I don't neeeeed no steeeeenkeeeeng plans!

it ain't real.
Wrought iron is.
