Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A wave rotor apparatus is provided. In another aspect of the present invention, a radial wave rotor includes fluid passageways oriented in a direction offset from its rotational axis. A further aspect of the present invention employs stacked layers of generally radial channels in a wave rotor. Moreover, turbomachinery is located internal to a wave rotor in yet another aspect of the present invention. In yet another aspect of the present invention, a radial wave rotor has an igniter and fuel injector. Correctional passages are employed in still another aspect of the present invention wave rotor.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An apparatus comprising: a wave rotor operably rotating about a rotor axis; the wave rotor including a first set of channels located substantially on a first plane, a second set of channels located substantially on a second plane and at least a third set of channels located substantially on at least a third plane, the first, second, and third sets of channels each being in a stacked relationship offset along the rotor axis; and at least the majority of…
