HOW TO - Make a jam jar jet (video)

QUEST teams up with Make Magazine to make your own pulse jet engine - inside a jam jar. This video is set to premiere on KQED tonight as one of the segments in the episode. The story will air today, Tuesday at 7:30pm on KQED 9 & KQED HD on Comcast 709 and Saturday, May 25, at 4:30pm on KTEH. You can get the Jam Jar Jet PDF here.
