A circumferentially stirred variable residence time vortex combustor including a primary combustion chamber for containing an annular combustion vortex and a first plurality of louvres peripherally disposed about the primary combuston chamber and longitudinally distributed along its primary axis, the louvres inclined to impel air circumferentially about the primary axis within the primary combustion chamber, to cool its interior surfaces, to impel air inwardly to assist in driving the annular combustion vortex in a helical path, and to feed combustion in the primary combustion chamber. The vortex combustor further includes a second annular combustion chamber and a narrow annular waist region interconnecting the output of the primary combustion chamber with the second annular combustion chamber for passing only lower density particles and trapping higher density particles for substantial combustion in the annular combustion vortex of the primary annular combustion chamber.

A circumferentially stirred variable residence time vortex combustor comprising: a toroidal shaped primary annular combustion chamber disposed around a primary axis in the X-direction including an inner primary wall and an outer primary wall for containing an annular combustion vortex, at least one of said inner primary and said outer primary walls defining a first plurality of louvres peripherally disposed about said primary combustion chamber and longitudinally distributed along its primary axis, said louvres inclined to impel air circumferentially about the primary axis within said primary combustion chamber to cool its interior surfaces, to impel air inwardly to assist in driving the annular combustion vortex in a helical path and to feed combustion in said primary combustion chamber; a secondary annular combustion chamber including an inner secondary wall and an outer secondary wall; and a narrow annular waist region, interconnecting the output of said primary combustion chamber with said secondary annular combustion chamber and defined by said outer wall, for passing only lower density particles and trapping higher density particles in the annular combustion vortex in said primary annular combustion chamber for substantial combustion.
