Abstract: A light-emitting device comprises a structure defining an orderly and periodic series of cavities of nanometric dimensions, in which a process of catalytic combustion is confined. The dimensions and/or the distance between the micro-cavities are selected to obtain a light emission in the visible and prevent and/or attenuate at the same time emission of infrared radiation.

Abstract: A rotary combustor, and electricity generator including a stationary structure and at least one tubular annular rotor able to rotate about a shaft by means of contactless suspension devices, and in which is defined an annular combustion chamber having a directed lateral efflux opening for the ejection of gases produced in the combustion. The rotor has a narrow circular slit through which there extend, at predetermined angular intervals, into the combustion chamber, stationary injectors of fuel and oxidizer, and associated igniters, also stationary. A control unit controls the injectors and the associated igniters in a sequential cyclical manner, with predetermined time lags, in such a way as to generate and then sustain a detonation wave which propagates essentially continuously through the chamber, and bring about a rotation at controlled velocity of the rotor due to the action of the gases emitted through the lateral effusion opening.
