Description of the Rotary Pulse Jet Engine

The Rotary Pulse Jet Engine is the first engine design that yields pure rotary output. It is small compact, has a high power output and is a zero pollution engine. The Rotary Pulse Jet Engine basically consists of a rotor with combustion chambers (rocket pods) on its perimeter and little else.

There are no pistons, no reciprocating movement and very few moving parts. The engine is extremely compact. The size of the rotor can be anything from 10" - 12" in diameter. As can be seen from the picture above the Rotary Pulse Jet Engine has two combustion chambers or rocket pods that fire simultaneously with their force acting in the direction of rotation of the rotor. The reason for this is (a) to extract maximum power from the engine and (b) to ensure an extremely smooth and balanced rotational movement which will place less strain on the bearings. Compressed air is supplied to the cylinders via an external tank of pre-compresed air, which in turn is constantly replenished with compressed air by a small commercially available air compressor run either electrically or off the main shaft.
