A flow control device that creates a pulsating flow includes a body with a flow passage defined therethrough. The device further includes a flow interruption element having a flow interrupting position and an open position and a biasing element that biases the flow interruption element into the flow interrupting position. A flow of gas or fluid passing through the flow passage impinges on the flow-interrupting member causing the flow interrupting member to intermittently move between the flow interrupting position and the open position, thereby intermittently allowing the flow of gas or fluid to pass the flow interrupting element. This creates a pulsating flow of gas or fluid.
