JaredJames Messages 2,822 Reaction score 22 Feb 20, 2011 #2 I think a better question here is "would it still work without it?". I've never heard of these boats before and I looked up the basic principle and it seems relatively simple. Rather similar to how a pulse jet works. You need the pressure changes otherwise the engine won't work.
