Micro-rocket operating with periodic explosive combustion, includes distributor, combustion chamber, igniter and flame traps in supply lines

摘要

The distributor (6) has openings introducing fuel supplied (3), into the micro-combustion chamber (1), which also includes an igniter (7). Flame traps (9) are included in the supply lines. All components are constructed as microstructures in a substrate. Preferred features: The two supply lines introduce different media. A pressure buffer volume (11) is provided close to the supplies (3). The mixing zone (5) is similarly constructed as a microstructure, and intervenes between supplies and distributor. The nozzle (2) delivers the combustion products. Flame traps comprise micro-nozzles (9). In an otherwise similar variant of the design, the fuel is introduced in water-encapsulated form. Fuels comprise gases, gas mixtures or atomized liquids. Numerous micro-rockets can be coupled (see also: use).
