Continuing high fuel costs and growing environmental pressures could inject new urgency into development of pulse-detonation engine (PDE) technology for wider commercial applications, rather than just ...

Ten projects selected on June 8 to receive funding through the National Energy Technology Laboratory’s (NETL’s) Advanced Combustion Systems Program could lower costs and improve the performance of ...

An international team of engineers that includes combustion experts from the University of Sydney's School of Aerospace, Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering are working on a revolutionary new ...

Various forms of unsteady or pulse detonation combustion in the future could feature turbine-based combined cycle (TBCC) engine concepts that form part of NASA’s ongoing studies into highly reliable, ...

One of the big surprises facing plants that switch from a more or less standard bituminous coal to a western coal is the increase in slagging and fouling. Many plants have reported significantly more ...

An experimental pulse-detonation-powered aircraft should begin test flights next month at Mojave, Calif., now that the FAA has issued it an airworthiness certificate. Powered by a pulse detonation ...

Explosions get you much more bang from your fuel buck than combustion – if your engine can withstand them. NASA believes the rotating detonation engine could be the future of deep space travel, and it ...

Flight tests of an experimental aircraft powered by a pulse-detonation engine are to be retried by the end of this year, says the Ohio-based US Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). The engine has ...

Disk rotating detonation engines could provide engines that are 10% more efficient, which could enable hypersonic planes. The USA, China, and Russia will be ramping up hypersonic weapon and hypersonic ...

Detonation is a supersonic combustion wave, characterized by a shock wave driven by the energy release from closely coupled chemical reactions. It is a typical form of pressure gain combustion, ...
