A pulsating combustor has a plurality of annular plate elements (12), which are stacked in spaced vertical alignment so as to define a central space (14). There is a plurality of slot-like passages (18), one such passage between each adjacent pair of elements. There is at least one combustion chamber (21) in communication with at least one slot-like passage. Fuel and combustion air are fed into the combustion chambers. There is a spark plug for igniting a fuel-air mixture in the combustion chamber. Preferably there is a first housing (24) defining the combustion chamber and another housing defining a collection chamber for combustion gases emerging from the passages.

1. A pulsating combustor (10.2) of the type including a pair of annular plate elements (12.2) stacked so as to define a central space (46) and a passage (18) between the pair of elements, at least one combustion chamber (21) in communication with said passage, first means for feeding fuel and combustion air to said at least one combustion chamber and second means for igniting a fuel-air mixture in said at least one combustion chamber, the combustor being characterized by:the plate elements having radially outer edges (80) and an intake slot (44) between the pair of elements (12.2) and extending inwardly from the outer edges (80), whereby gaseous material is fed radially inwards from the outer edges of elements to the central space (46).
