Over the years [Integza] has blown up or melted many types of jet engine, including the humble pulsejet. Earlier improvements revolved around pumping in more fuel, or forced air intakes, but now it’s ...

The rapid, violent detonation of a high explosive (HE) generates supersonic shock waves that transfer energy by moving mass. According to Livermore physicist John Molitoris, trying to gather data on ...

Oblique detonation waves (ODWs) represent an advanced class of shock-induced combustion phenomena in which the detonation front propagates at an angle to the oncoming supersonic flow. These waves are ...

The bright minds from the University of Central Florida (UCF) are on a path to revolutionize the future of air travel, and even facilitate interplanetary transportation. In the quest to find a ...
