   I have one concern: inconcentrating upon a given instant of thrust, it appears   
   to ignore the issue of cumulative thrust over an amount of time. For any given   
   instant of thrust, the thrust and Isp might be very high. However, since it is   
   pulsing, how does    
   the average thrust over time compare between a complete pulse cycle, and a   
   steady thrust with a duration equal to the wavelength (expressed as a factor   
   of time)?
