TTEG engine: "“When I saw the technology, I said, ‘Why didn’t I think of this?’” says Michael Rouse, president and CEO of TTE. “The scientist who invented the engine, Robert Scragg, had worked on this technology for over twenty years. The unique thing about the process is that it is pulse detonation; we are exploding the fuel air mixture in cyclic detonations, which means there is a pause between each detonation. Typically, a regular gas turbine engine uses a continuous flame.”"

he engine has only one moving part. “Typically a diesel would have 50-60 moving parts,” states Michael Patterson Chief Information Officer at TTE. The DCGT has no pistons or valves and uses no lube oil, filters or pumps. With fewer moving parts, the engine costs less to build and less to maintain. It also operates under low pressure, reducing the number of stressors on the parts and contributing to the engine’s longevity.

The DCGT is powered by an innovative new electromagnetic isothermal combustion process that produces complete combustion of fuel-oxidizer mixtures in cyclic detonations. “In the combustion chamber, there is over 99% fuel burn, which reduces the harmful emissions that come out of the tailpipe,” says Patterson.

At the heart of the engine is the turbine wheel which consists of a series of blades installed on a disk attached to the main drive shaft. Two staggered, valve-less combustion chambers – located on opposite sides of the rotor – direct the high-energy detonation gases onto the turbine blades. The high-pressure gases produced by these detonations cause the turbine to spin, and low energy gas is discharged from the turbine assembly via the exhaust outlets.

The engine’s unique combustion process allows the DCGT to operate with blower air at low static pressure, negating the necessity of compressing and preheating fuel-oxidizer mixtures prior to combustion and allowing higher thermal efficiency in a simplified mechanical structure.

According to TTE’s website (www.ttengines.com), “The combustion chambers are connected by a common valve-less manifold fed with fuel and oxidizer. When combustible gases are detonated by an igniter in one of the combustion chambers, the back pressure from the detonation shuts off the fuel and oxidizer flow to that chamber and redirects the fuel and oxidizer to the opposite chamber, where detonation occurs. The process repeats cyclically. Power is thus taken off the rotor shaft mechanically or electrically.”

This cyclic detonation discontinues the use of fuel, leading to significant fuel savings and increased efficiency. It also provides intermittent high-temperature events during detonation which leads to an overall reduction in equilibrium temperature for longer part life.
