I saw the very begining and the last third of the show - missed the
rest.  They had said that the pulse jet had no moving parts.  My
understanding of a pulse jet is that it does have one moving part, a
flapper valve.  And having the intake facing rearward made no sense to
me.  Is there a JYW related web page that describes this motor?
