A combustion reactor which includes a reactor housing having an interior chamber, an inlet port at a top end of the housing and an outlet port at a bottom end thereof. The interior chamber has a circular cross-section, the diameter of which continuously increases from the inlet port to an intermediate level and then continuously decreases to the outlet port. A gas inlet conduit opens into the interior chamber adjacent to the inlet port at a location and in a direction tangent to a notional circle whose center lies on the axis of the interior chamber. By directing a high velocity flow of gas containing oxygen into the chamber tangent to the interior surface thereof and initially a combustible gas, upon ignition of the combustible gas and feeding into the inlet port combustible material, combustion of the fuel material takes place as the latter progresses from the inlet to the outlet.
