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 receives a charge and discharges combustion products of the charge.

Pulsed combustion 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 into each conduit through its first port and permit discharge of combustion products of the charge and fuel through both the first and second ports.
