Abstract
A pulse detonator particularly for an aircraft power supply has a tubular housing. A valve sleeve rotates within the bore of the housing. The valve sleeve and housing have ports which align with each other at least once per revolution. A manifold is mounted to the exterior of the housing. The manifold has outer valves which open to admit fuel and oxygen simultaneously with the alignment of the valve sleeve ports with the housing ports. The fuel and oxygen flow into a detonation chamber where they mix. Igniters ignite the mixture to create a detonation wave which passes out the downstream end.
