Abstract
A gun having at least two combustion chambers, a first combustion chamber being fixed within the gun, subsequent combustion chamber or chambers being movable in the direction of the barrel, wherein the trigger mechanism is adapted to ignite the volatile mixture in the first chamber; and the gun having means to regulate the timing of ignition of the volatile mixtures in the subsequent chamber or chambers to eject the bullet for the barrel. A reloading plate prevents a bullet being loaded, while the volatile mixtures are ignited.
Claims9
A gun comprising a barrel, a plurality of combustion chambers including at least first and second combustion chambers, a fuel storage tank, a gas compressor, and a trigger mechanism, each of the combustion chambers in the plurality of combustion chambers having a fuel inlet, and an oxidant inlet, the first combustion chamber having an ignition source and being fixed within the gun, such that ignition in the first combustion chamber creates an expansion of gas, which expansion of gas is directed from the first combustion chamber towards the second combustion chamber and any subsequent combustion chamber or subsequent combustion chambers in the plurality of combustion chambers in addition to the first and second combustion chambers to move the second combustion chamber and the any subsequent combustion chamber or subsequent combustion chambers forward towards a bullet in the gun, wherein the gas compressor is adapted to provide compressed fuel and oxidant gas to form volatile mixtures in the plurality of combustion chambers, and the trigger mechanism is adapted to ignite said volatile mixture in the first combustion chamber, the gun having a regulator for the timing of ignition of the volatile mixtures in the any subsequent combustion chamber or subsequent combustion chambers to eject the bullet from the barrel.
