Hello. Thanks for the reply. Obviously if such an engine would be adapted to aircraft use, it would have to be a closed loop system with only a small water amount on board. I strongly also belive that the boiler construction could be made reasonably light, so that the overall weight of the engine wo...

Steam turbines

Hello Has anyone tried to build a small steam turbine and extract shaft power out of it? Ive seen small experiments with tesla turbine like constructions, but nothing more complex or sophisticated. I have been wondering that why anyone hasn't built any steam turbines for smaller scale applications. ...

Hello. Thank you for your answer. At last I got an answer to the question I've been thinking about for the last year. So you think that it might be possible to get the detonation wave started but you can't make it sustain. I think I understand your point. Here's a bunch of other questions. At what s...

Hi. I was pretty sure before i made the topic that someone would say that scramjet is the engine i was asking about. I used to think so also but i checked it from the scramjet topic. This is the reason i asked about it, i haven't seen this kind of an engine proposed anywhere so i wondered is it even...

Continuous detonation ramjet, is it possible?

Hello. I have been wonderin that is continuous detonation possible in theory? Now let's stay purely on a theoretical level. If it is has anyone thought about a ramjet that instead of deflagrating the mixture would detonate it? Just like a pde but would keep the detonatio going. I would just want to ...
