The bright minds from the University of Central Florida (UCF) are on a path to revolutionize the future of air travel, and even facilitate interplanetary transportation. In the quest to find a ...

Oblique detonation waves (ODWs) represent an advanced class of shock-induced combustion phenomena in which the detonation front propagates at an angle to the oncoming supersonic flow. These waves are ...

Over the years [Integza] has blown up or melted many types of jet engine, including the humble pulsejet. Earlier improvements revolved around pumping in more fuel, or forced air intakes, but now it’s ...

Scientists analyzed detonation formation in hydrogen/methane air mixtures, quantifying the effect of non-thermal reactions on the mechanism of detonation Small-displacement turbocharged internal ...

The rapid, violent detonation of a high explosive (HE) generates supersonic shock waves that transfer energy by moving mass. According to Livermore physicist John Molitoris, trying to gather data on ...

Engines that convert chemical energy from fuel into kinetic energy via explosive detonation, rather than slower deflagration combustion as seen in typical internal combustion engines. Categories ...

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 ...
