Abstract: A rotating detonation engine includes an annulus having a first wall, a second wall, and a volume having a detonation region in which a mixture of an oxidizer and a fuel detonate in a rotating fashion to create a pressure wave and detonation exhaust, the volume defining a downstream outlet through which detonation exhaust flows. The engine further includes an oxidizer outlet to output oxidizer and a fuel outlet to output fuel into the volume. The engine further includes an obstacle positioned in the volume and extending for an obstacle distance between the first wall and the second wall that is at least twenty five percent of an annulus distance from the first wall to the second wall, the obstacle designed to reflect the pressure wave such that a reflection of the pressure wave travels downstream and reduces an amount of the detonation exhaust that travels upstream.

Abstract: The invention relates to a combustion engine and to a process for producing energy by means of expansion work in combustion engines. The invention is based on the problem of providing a possibility for supplying oxygen to the combustion space of a self-compacting combustion engine in an energy-efficient manner. According to the invention, with an arrangement for carrying out an intensified combustion for automatically increasing pressure of the combustion gases and using them in a combustion engine for performing mechanical work, the above-stated problem is solved in that an oxygen storage material is present in the combustion space so that a self-compressing combustion process is made possible by storing the oxygen in the oxygen storage material in the combustion space.

Abstract: Apparatus for providing electrically initiated and/or controlled combustion of electrically ignitable propellants is provided. In one example, the apparatus includes a volume of electrically ignitable propellant (liquid and/or gas) capable of self sustaining combustion, and electrodes operable to ignite the propellant. The apparatus may further include a power supply and controller in electrical communication with the electrodes for supplying a potential across the electrodes to initiate combustion of the propellant and/or control the rate of combustion of the propellant. Various configurations and geometries of the propellant, electrodes, and apparatus are possible. In one example, the electrodes are supplied a direct current, which causes combustion of the propellant at the positive electrode. In another example, the electrodes are supplied an alternating current, which initiates combustion of the propellant at both electrodes.
