A pulse detonator particularly for an aircraft power supply has a tubular housing. A valve sleeve rotates within the bore of the housing. The valve sleeve and housing have ports which align with each other at least once per revolution. A manifold is mounted to the exterior of the housing. The manifold has outer valves which open to admit fuel and oxygen simultaneously with the alignment of the valve sleeve ports with the housing ports. The fuel and oxygen flow into a detonation chamber where they mix. Igniters ignite the mixture to create a detonation wave which passes out the downstream end.

A pulse detonation apparatus, comprising in combination: a tubular housing having an exterior, a cylindrical bore, and at least one housing port; a valve sleeve rotatably and concentrically mounted within the cylindrical bore; valve sleeve drive means for rotating the valve sleeve relative to the housing; a detonation chamber located within the valve sleeve, having an upstream end wall and an open downstream end; the valve sleeve having at least one valve sleeve port which registers with the housing port at least once per revolution to open the housing port; a manifold mounted to the exterior of the housing, having a manifold port in communication with the housing port; at least one outer valve located in the manifold, the outer valve being synchronized with the valve sleeve for opening the manifold port when the housing port is open, admitting fuel and oxygen through the manifold port, housing port, and valve sleeve port for providing a fuel mixture in the detonation chamber; and igniter means for detonating the fuel mixture when the valve sleeve port and housing port are closed to create a detonation wave for passing out the open downstream end of the detonation chamber.
