Abstract
A pulsing combustion device (10) is disclosed including a combustion chamber (15) with a poppet valve (20) mounted for reciprocation in the combustion chamber (15). A pressurized combustible mixture is supplied to the poppet valve (20) with the combustion gases ignited in the combustion chamber (15). The poppet valve (20) is reciprocated in the combustion chamber (15) by the pressure of the pressurized combustible mixture and the pressure of the combustion gases. The poppet valve (20) regulates the flow of the combustible mixture into the combustible chamber. The pulsing combustion device (10) may be utilized in a steam cleaning device wherein the pulsing combustion device is surrounded by a flow of liquid. The pulsing combustion device may also be utilized for home heating with a fluid heated by the combustion device.
