A wave rotor includes an inlet plate, an outlet plate, and a rotor drum positioned therebetween. The inlet plate is formed to include an inlet port arranged to receive gasses. The outlet plate is formed to include an outlet port arranged to receive the gasses flowing out of the wave rotor. The rotor drum is arranged to rotate relative to the inlet and outlet plates. A piston assembly is used to counteract forces from pressure built up in the rotor drum.
