ABSTRACT:
A pulse combustor having a combined mixing and ignition chamber in communication with a fuel inlet tube and an air inlet tube. The fuel inlet tube and air inlet tube inject fuel and air, respectively, forming a fuel/air mixture in the mixing and ignition chamber. An ignition source for igniting the fuel/air mixture is located within the mixing and ignition chamber. A main combusiton chamber is sealably secured to the main combustion chamber wall and in comunication with the mixing and ignition chamber. The main combustion chamber first splits into a plurality of downstream combustion chamber branches, each of which further split into a plurality of exhaust tubes. The combustion chamber branches of the main combustion chamber have a slot between the combustion chamber branches. At least one reinforcing strut is secured between the combustion chamber branches within the slot between the combustion chamber branches of the main combustion chamber. A plurality of exhaust tubes each have a chamber end in communication with the main combustion chamber and/or combustion chamber branches. Each exhaust tube has an exhaust manifold end in communication with an exhaust manifold.
