| 7234294 | Outlet nozzle and a method for manufacturing an outlet nozzle Method and arrangement for providing an outlet nozzle (10) for use in a liquid fuel rocket engine. The nozzle forms a body of revolution having an axis (11) of revolution and a cross section that varies in diameter along said axis. The nozzle has a wal... | 06/26/2007 |
| 7100360 | Pulsed combustion engine A pulsed combustion device includes a support structure and a combustor carousel supported by the support structure and rotating relative thereto about an axis. The carousel has a number of combustion conduits in a circumferential array. Each conduit cyclically rece... | 09/05/2006 |
| 6901738 | Pulsed combustion turbine engine A turbine engine has a circumferential array of combustion chamber conduits downstream of the compressor and upstream of the turbine. Means are provided for directing oxygen-containing gas from the compressor to the conduits so as to cyclically feed a gas charge int... | 06/07/2005 |
| 6478250 | Propulsive torque motor A spin-stabilized missile includes two or more spin nozzles along a perimeter of the missile, the nozzles being operatively coupled to a pressurized gas source. The pressurized gas source provides pressurized gas which passes through the nozzles and exter... | 11/12/2002 |
| 6352455 | Marine propulsion device The propulsion device (10) includes a housing (12) having an incoming end cap (14) and an outflowing end cap (16). A tubular bladder (20) within the housing is interconnected to each end cap, thereby varying the volume of both a chamber (22) within the bl... | 03/05/2002 |
| 6212876 | Simplified high-efficiency propulsion system A simplified rocket engine a rocket engine has a rotor assembly with an ultracentrifugal (over 200 meters/second tangential velocity) liquid pump arranged around a combustion chamber so as to provide both forced convective and Coriolis-effect and centripe... | 04/10/2001 |
| 6205378 | Adaptive mass expulsion attitude control system An attitude control system and method operative with a thruster controls the attitude of a vehicle carrying the thruster, wherein the thruster has a valve enabling the formation of pulses of expelled gas from a source of compressed gas. Data of the attitu... | 03/20/2001 |
| 5875627 | Fluid propulsion system for accelerating and directionally controlling a fluid A propulsion system for accelerating and directionally controlling a fluid having a continuous dynamic surface for circulating through a fluid from an entrainment region where fluid is introduced to the dynamic surface to a thrust region where fluid is di... | 03/02/1999 |
| 5423179 | Solid fuel ramjet engine for a spin-stabilized projectile With the intention of achieving more stable combustion in solid-fuel ramjets, and particularly in the case of ramjets with spinning application, it is proposed that the inner surface of the ramjet fuel element (8) is provided with raised surfaces, or land... | 06/13/1995 |
| 5349532 | Spacecraft attitude control and momentum unloading using gimballed and throttled thrusters A spacecraft (201) maintains its north-south positioning by using one of two pairs of single-gimballed throttled thrusters (221-224) on a face of the spacecraft (201). The throttles (118) and gimbals (116) of the thrusters (221-224) are controlled to prod... | 09/20/1994 |
| 4796534 | Spinning ramjet vehicle with a non-spinning combustor A spinning ramjet vehicle is provided wherein the combustion process is enced.
