Abstract
A thrust augmenting fluid rectifier for a pulsed combustor comprising ducting having a converging inlet section, a flow redirecting section and a diffuser section, the inlet of the ducting being spaced upstream from the combustor inlet to define a thrust augmentor utilizing the backflow from the combustor inlet as primary fluid. In one embodiment the rectifier ducting extends rearwardly to a chamber that combines it with the combustor outlet. Substantial pressure gain is obtainable making the invention suitable for gas turbine applications.
