Abstract
A pulsed turbine rotary engine comprising a fixed section, an output shaft, a plurality of nozzle openings, an air supply system, a fuel supply system, and an ignition system. The fixed section defines a plurality of intake openings each defining an intake axis. The output shaft is supported by the fixed section for rotation about a shaft axis. The nozzle housings are operatively connected to the output shaft for rotation about the shaft axis. Each nozzle housing defines a nozzle chamber in fluid communication with a nozzle inlet and a nozzle outlet defining a thrust axis. The air and fuel supply systems direct air and fuel through the intake openings. The ignition system comprises spark plugs for igniting fuel within the nozzle chambers.
