Patent attributes
A detonation engine which creates thrust by generating a detonation wave, wherein the overall engine structure is simplified, and continuous output can be obtained, comprises: a rotational flow generation device which generates rotational flow about an axis in a mixed gas of air and fuel or of oxygen and fuel; a detonation chamber arranged downstream from the rotational flow generation device, formed in a ring-shape radially extended and continuous in the circumferential direction, which continuously combusts in the circumferential direction the mixed gas in which the rotational flow is generated to generate detonation waves, and draws it in from the radial inside and exhausts it to the radial outside; and a nozzle which is connected to the detonation chamber, and jets the high temperature and pressure combustion gas generated by the detonation waves flowing from the detonation chamber, to the rear while expanding it, and converts it into thrust.
