ABSTRACT:
A black smoke generator is provided for generating a smoke screen for use on military vehicles, installations and the like. The black smoke generator is a self-sustaining unit and comprises a compressor having an outlet, a turbine having an inlet and a burner assembly operatively connected between the compressor outlet and the turbine inlet. The burner assembly has a housing which defines a combustion chamber while fuel is supplied to the combustion chamber at a rate which produces an excessively rich fuel/air mixture in the combustion chamber. Upon ignition of the fuel/air mixture in the combustion chamber, black smoke is exhausted through the turbine which simultaneously drives the compressor. A method for generating black smoke is also disclosed.
