    摘要: A rotary disk, useful for transferring kinetic energy or generating torque or electricity, is disclosed. The rotary disk includes a housing enclosing a manifold, an axle or shaft to which the housing is joined or fixed, conduits or passages within and/or extending from the housing, combustion chambers at distal ends of the conduits or passages and external to the housing, nozzles at distal ends of the combustion chambers, and a compressor in or upstream from the manifold. The conduits or passages are joined or fixed to the housing, and carry an oxygen-containing gas from the manifold to the nozzles. The nozzles direct the heated oxygen-containing gas and combustion gases in a predetermined direction. The compressor includes fins or blades joined or fixed to the axle or shaft, or to a different, colinear axle or shaft. The compressor is configured to increase a pressure of the oxygen-containing gas at entrances of the conduits or passages.

    摘要: An engine, a power generation system, and methods of manufacturing and using the same are disclosed. The engine includes a detonation/combustion chamber configured to detonate a fuel and rotate around a central rotary shaft extending from the chamber, a fuel supply inlet configured to provide the fuel to the chamber, an air supply channel configured to supply air to the chamber, at least two rotating arms extending radially from the chamber and configured to exhaust gases from detonating the fuel in the chamber and provide a rotational thrust and/or force, and a mechanical work unit configured to receive at least part of the rotational thrust and/or force. Each of the rotating arms has an exhaust nozzle at a distal end thereof, the exhaust nozzle being at or having an angle configured to provide the rotational thrust and/or force.

    摘要: Hybrid internal detonation-gas turbine engines incorporating detonation or pulse engine technology (such as an internal detonation engine), and methods of manufacturing and using the same are disclosed. The internal detonation engine includes a detonation chamber having a fuel igniter therein, a stator at one end of the detonation chamber having at least a first opening to receive fuel, a rotor adjacent to the stator, and an energy transfer mechanism configured to convert energy from igniting or detonating the fuel to mechanical energy. The detonation chamber and fuel igniter are configured to ignite or detonate a fuel in the detonation chamber. Either the stator or the detonation chamber has a second opening to exhaust detonation gas(es). The rotor has one or more third openings therein configured to overlap with at least the first opening as the rotor rotates.

    摘要: An engine is disclosed. The engine includes a rotary hub enclosing a manifold, blades radially distributed around the rotary hub, a combustion chamber at a distal end of each blade, an axle or shaft joined or fixed to the hub, and a generator operably connected to the axle or shaft. Each blade has a passage for air to flow to the combustion chamber and a fuel distribution conduit therein/thereon. The manifold connects a fuel supply conduit to the fuel distribution conduits. Each combustion chamber is configured to receive fuel and air from the corresponding fuel distribution conduit and passage, burn or detonate the fuel, and direct heated or expanded air and combustion gases in a direction that rotates the blades and the hub. The axle or shaft is configured to rotate with the hub. The generator is configured to convert a torque from the axle or shaft to electricity.

The rotary jet includes a central axle or shaft, an inlet configured to receive at least one fluid, and a plurality of radial arms in fluid communication with the inlet, configured to rotate around the central axle or shaft. Each radial arm has a nozzle at a distal end thereof and an arc between the inlet and the nozzle. The radial arms extend radially from the central axle or shaft at least in part, and are configured to rotate when the fluid enters the inlet and passes through the radial arms, or when a rotational force is applied to the central axle or shaft. Each nozzle may have an opening facing away from a direction of rotation of the radial arms or facing in a direction parallel with the central axle or shaft.
