Abstract
A power generator system includes a turbine configured to be powered by a fluid flow including compressed air; one or more compressors configured to compress air; an eductor having (a) an air-augmented rotating detonation engine (RDE) as a component; and (b) a mixing section wherein an exhaust stream from the RDE and compressed air from the one or more compressors are mixed for pressure gain and delivery to the turbine; and a turbine power extractor configured to be driven by the turbine.

A power generator system comprising:
- a turbine configured to be powered by a fluid flow including the compressed air;
- one or more compressors configured to compress air;
- an eductor having
- (a) an air-augmented rotating detonation engine (RDE) as a component;
- and
- (b) a mixing section configured to mix a supersonic exhaust stream from the RDE with subsonic compressed air from the one or more compressors for delivery to the turbine;
- and
- a turbine power extractor configured to be driven by the turbine.
