ABSTRACT:
A combustion chamber system for the production of propelling gases, partiarly for propelling projectiles includes a tubular member defining a combustion chamber which is adapted to be located adjacent one end of a gun barrel having a passage for a projectile. A piston is slidable in the combustion chamber toward and away from the projectile and it includes a ring portion of wider diameter which is movable in a widened portion of the tubular member defining the combustion chamber. Propellant components are introduced into the combustion chamber by the movement of the piston which is effected by the combustion of the gases within the combustion chamber. For this purpose, the combustion chamber is connected through passages defined in the piston and fixed end plates of the combustion chamber which extend to supply tanks for the various propellant components. The piston and the end plates also define distributing passages for the propellant components which are cyclicly compressed and expanded by the movement of the piston and thus produce a movement of the propellant components through nozzles defined at the end of the piston end face for injection into the combustion chamber. The apparatus includes additional means for producing pressure within the combustion chamber to cause a braking of the movement of the piston in the return direction and initiate a rapid build-up of the pressure in the combustion chamber for producing a rapid movement of the piston in a working stroke direction.
