Compression waves are formed by detonating a mixture of fuel and air confined within a chamber that has a constricted output opening. The mixture is ignited instantaneously throughout a peripheral region of the chamber which is shaped relative to the dimensions of the chamber and the output opening so that the burning of the mixture accelerates toward the output opening and inward from the peripheral region. - This dynamically compresses and detonates the mixture to form a high pressure compression wave and direct it out of the output opening. - The instantaneous ignition can be by plasma jets or flames injected into the ignition region from an ignition chamber adjacent to the detonation chamber.(11/11) |
