Abstract: An ignition system for a rocket engine utilizes the pressure energy in a propellant flow. The propellant flow generates an oscillating pressure force in a resonance system which is then transmitted to a piezoelectric system. The electrical pulses are utilized to generate a spark in an igniter system spark gap, resulting in ignition. Since the spark energy production is driven by the resonance of the propellant flow, a fully passive auto-ignition system is provided. Once ignition occurs, the resultant backpressure in the combustion chamber “detunes” the resonance phenomena and spark production stops. Furthermore, should the engine flame out, spark production would automatically resume as the propellant valves remain open thereby providing relight capability.

Abstract: An air/fuel pre-mixer for a gas turbine combustor and a method of pre-mixing air and fuel for a combustor are provided. In one embodiment the pre-mixer includes a first annular premix fuel manifold disposed upstream of the combustor and an annular member concentric with the first premix fuel manifold. Together the annular premix fuel manifold and the annular member define a first venturi shaped air/fuel pre-mix volume between them that has a throat. At or upstream from the throat, the first premix fuel manifold has a plurality of pores whereby the fuel is injected from the first premix fuel manifold to mix with air in the first pre-mix volume. In another embodiment, the annular member is an outer wall, whereas in yet another embodiment, the annular member is a second premix fuel manifold.

Abstract: A system to provide a two piece robust fluid injector. According to various embodiments, the fluid injector is a fuel injector for a combustion engine. The injector includes two coaxially formed annuluses. One annulus is formed in a face plate and the second annulus or hole is defined by a tube extending through the face plate. The tube extends through the face plate in a portion of a through bore which also is used to define the second annulus. The second annulus is formed using a throughbore through which the tube extends. This allows the second annulus to always be formed inherently and precisely substantially coaxial with the first annulus. Moreover, the second annulus can be formed with a much greater tolerance than if other independent components needed to be added.
