Russia has demonstrated a pulse-detonation engine (PDE) with low-energy ignition and a specific impulse of 800s in static conditions, about half that of comparable hydrocarbon-fuelled ramjet at Mach 2 ...
Over the years [Integza] has blown up or melted many types of jet engine, including the humble pulsejet. Earlier improvements revolved around pumping in more fuel, or forced air intakes, but now it’s ...
Pulse detonation technology being pursued by General Electric, Pratt & Whitney and Rolls-Royce offers engine-makers the potential for improving gas turbine specific fuel consumption by double digits ...
This playful redesign turns Santa’s sleigh into a futuristic hypersonic delivery craft built with stealth features, pulse ...
General Electric is ramping up studies into how to make production-standard pulse-detonation en­gines as it prepares to run the first-ever valve-controlled multi-tube PDE with a power turbine and gear ...
Engines that convert chemical energy from fuel into kinetic energy via explosive detonation, rather than slower deflagration combustion as seen in typical internal combustion engines. Categories ...
Bellevue developers of a new type of jet engine are finding the real money may lie in using the engine's "pulse detonation" technology to clean dirty power-generation furnaces. The new market is so ...
The bright minds from the University of Central Florida (UCF) are on a path to revolutionize the future of air travel, and even facilitate interplanetary transportation. In the quest to find a ...
Rotating detonation engines (RDEs), as opposed to oblique wave detonation engines or pulse detonation engines, use ring-shaped chambers and precisely-timed fuel injection to generate constant thrust.
