Advantages of Detonation over Deflagration

Fuel savings will be exceedingly high

The temperatures within the combustion chamber will be considerably lower than those temperatures found in the burner can of a jet engine
The temperatures in the burner can of a modern jet engine can reach as high as 1700 degrees Celsius requiring the use of expensive metals to withstand the intense heat
Various types of fuels can be used in this engine whereas a conventional jet engine requires jet fuel

Advantages of this Invention

1 Lower manufacturing cost and time
2 Higher fuel efficiency, cleaner burn with less pollutants in the environment
3 Very quiet operation
4 A variety of fuel types can be used
5 Weight reduction
6 Spool up time is significantly reduced

The Pulse Detonation Engine

A giant leap of technology for the turbine engine into the 21st century

"Strive for perfection in everything. Take the best that exists and make it better. If it doesn’t exist, create it. Accept nothing nearly right or good enough."

Sir Henry Royce,
co-founder of Rolls-Royce.

How a PDE Works

Fuel enters the combustion chamber with ignition to follow
Exploding gases close the valves. This causes the force of explosion to move in the opposite direction
Once the pressure drops against the valves, the cycle starts over
