Abstract

See full text

The combustion chamber and associated fuel injection and ignition equipment of a turbine engine is removed and replaced with a particle bed reactor. The reactor has central fuel elements removed to receive a shaft therein. The shaft is connected between a turbo compressor and drive turbine. Air compressed by the compressor turbine is heated by the reactor and the heated gas passes across rotor vanes of the drive turbine, the latter powering the interconnecting shaft. Exhaust gases from the drive turbine furnish resultant thrust.
