  • Patent number: 11795891
    Abstract: The subject of the invention is a detonation rocket engine comprising an annular detonation chamber (5) connected to the Aerospike nozzle (4) and lines (2, 3) for supplying propellant components connected to the detonation chamber (5). The detonation chamber (5) has a bottom (9) connecting the inner wall (10) and the outer wall (11) between which the outlet (6) is formed. At the outlet (6) of the detonation chamber (5) there are at least three evenly distributed centring elements (1) connecting the inner wall (10) and the outer wall (11) of the detonation chamber (5), with cooling channels (7) connected to one of the lines (2, 3) supplying the propellant components to the detonation chamber (5).

  • Patent number: 11149702
    Abstract: A fuel injector for injecting an over-enriched fuel and air mixture to the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine includes a spray nozzle, a gaseous carrier, a fuel mixing and evaporation chamber and an injector nozzle. During operation, both a liquid fuel and the gaseous carrier are supplied to the fuel mixing and evaporation chamber of the injector through the spray nozzle, where they are mixed and evaporated as a result of elevated temperature, and the mixture reaches the combustion chamber. The gaseous carrier is air or, flue gas, at elevated pressure and temperature and having a composition that prevents the initiation of flame combustion, and the gaseous carrier has an oxygen content low enough to prevent the initiation of combustion, even under conditions of elevated pressure and temperature.

  • Patent number: 9183180
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for in-flight assessment of freedom from flutter of an airplane, involving analyzing the airplane structure vibrations based on signals indicated by sensors located on the airplane structure. The computations are performed in real-time based on current measurement data collected from the sensors. For measurement data from individual sensors there are determined mode shapes of vibrations. The relevancy of modes of vibrations is determined by subtracting from the vibrations signal the particular mode of vibrations and calculating the value of decrease in the rest sum of squares.
