665 results about "Ramjet" patented technology

A ramjet, sometimes referred to as a flying stovepipe or an athodyd (aero thermodynamic duct), is a form of airbreathing jet engine that uses the engine's forward motion to compress incoming air without an axial compressor or a centrifugal compressor. Because ramjets cannot produce thrust at zero airspeed, they cannot move an aircraft from a standstill. A ramjet-powered vehicle, therefore, requires an assisted take-off like a rocket assist to accelerate it to a speed where it begins to produce thrust. Ramjets work most efficiently at supersonic speeds around Mach 3 (2,300 mph; 3,700 km/h). This type of engine can operate up to speeds of Mach 6 (4,600 mph; 7,400 km/h).

Methods of combining a series of more efficient aircraft engines into a unit, or modular units

The present invention generally relates to units of engines and more particularly to units containing a unique combined-cycle (combustion-detonation) “counter-rotation, anti-gyration, gyroscopic,” turbine fan-jet / free-piston engine configuration for induced air supercharging and boosting the performance of novel Ramjet engines or Ramjet engine configurations by improving internal air-stream dynamics. These dynamics are the result of co-operative air stream intermixing through convergent, supercharge-attenuated, inducted, compressed, tuned, pre-heated ambient air. Achieved through the varying of the geometric structural form and the utilization of unique engines and air induction and propulsion conformations, aided with supplemental air, fuel, oxygen and optiomal water and electrolyte charging.

The flow channel (36) is contoured between its inlet (34) and outlet (38) to include a supersonic diffuser (40), a combustor (42) and an expansion nozzle (44). Gaseous fuel, or liquid fuel atomized by a fuel slinger (58) within a housing (46), or solid fuel in the form of fine particulates, is inter-mixed with an oxidizer prior to being directed to the flow channel inlets (34). The air and fuel are combusted in the flow channels (36) and exhausted through the rear of the housing (46). A generator (22) can be coupled to a power shaft (18) to convert net shaft power into electricity.

The present invention discloses a hypersonic flight vehicle adaptive fault-tolerant control method of considering attack angle constraint which is used to solve the technical problem that a conventional hypersonic flight vehicle control method is poor in practicality. The method of the technical scheme is characterized by limiting a flight vehicle attack angle within a given range to guarantee the normal work of a scramjet engine; aiming at the fault case of an actuator, giving out a robust adaptive adjusting and controlling strategy, and utilizing a redundancy control mechanism to effectively compensate the influence brought by the failure to guarantee the safety of a system. Aiming at the model uncertainty, the method of the present invention combines the amplitude limiting design and a Barrier type lyapunov function to give out a controller, thereby being able to guarantee that the attack angle can be restrained within the given range, and guaranteeing the normal work of the scramjet engine. By using a neural network to learn and process the model uncertainty to substitute for the linear parameterization processing, the model analysis is simplified, and the actual application is convenient. Aiming at the fault case of the actuator, the redundancy control mechanism is utilized to compensate the influence brought by the faults effectively and adaptively, thereby being good in practicality.

Ramjet type thrust modules (102a, 102b) operate at supersonic speeds (preferably Mach 3 to 4) at the distal or tip ends (116a, 116b) of a low aerodynamic drag rotor (106). Rotor (106) is affixed at a hub means (114) to a power output means including central rotating upper (104a) and lower (104b) shaft portions. Rotor (106) is a structural member which transmits the thrust generated by the thrust modules (102a, 102b) to the shaft portions (104a, 104b).

Combustion gases expand to create thrust to rotate the thrust modules (102a, 102b), which are constrained by the rotor (106), to rotates about the axis defined by the shaft (104a, 104b) at supersonic thrust module velocities, producing shaft energy. Escaping exhaust gases (160) may be cooled by passing them through an enthalpy extraction section (162) to heat a secondary heat transfer fluid (166). If the secondary heat transfer fluid (166) is water, the steam may be used directly for its thermal energy, or the steam sent to a steam turbine to produce additional shaft energy. Combustion gases (160) may also be directed through a reaction turbine (1002) to utilize remaining kinetic energy to generate shaft energy.
