Fuel and oxidizer are injected into the channel, normally through small holes or slits. A detonation is initiated in the fuel/oxidizer mixture by some form of igniter. After the engine is started, the detonations are self-sustaining. One detonation ignites the fuel/oxidizer mixture, which releases the energy necessary to sustain the detonation.

A pulsejet engine (or pulse jet) is a type of jet engine in which combustion occurs in pulses.A pulsejet engine can be made with few [1] or no moving parts, [2] [3] [4] and is capable of running statically (that is, it does not need to have air forced into its inlet, typically by forward motion).
A pulse detonation engine (PDE) is a type of propulsion system that uses detonation waves to combust the fuel and oxidizer mixture. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The engine is pulsed because the mixture must be renewed in the combustion chamber between each detonation wave and the next.
As the piston approaches the TDC the combustible mixture is self-ignited due to the compression of it. Then, the deflagration to the detonation transition occurs in the detonation tube 9. The output of detonation products from the tube 9 happens in a short period of time, when the piston is near the TDC. Then, the process is repeated.
The Fickett–Jacobs (FJ) cycle is based on Chapman–Jouguet (CJ) theory, an approximation for the detonation wave's velocity during a detonation. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] This cycle is researched for rotating detonation engines (RDE), considered to be more efficient than the classical combustion engines that are based on the Brayton or Humphrey cycles .
In an HCCI engine, however, the homogeneous mixture of fuel and air is compressed and combustion begins whenever sufficient pressure and temperature are reached. This means that no well-defined combustion initiator provides direct control. Engines must be designed so that ignition conditions occur at the desired timing.
An interesting feature of all three German jet engine designs that saw production of any kind before May 1945: the German BMW 003, Junkers Jumo 004 and Heinkel HeS 011 axial-flow turbojet engine designs was the starter system, which consisted of a Riedel 10 hp (7.5 kW) flat twin two-stroke air-cooled engine hidden in the intake, and essentially ...
