Abstract
A pistonless combustor (100) includes at least one input channel (33, 34, 43, 44, 63) for air and fuel, an output channel (15), and a first combustion chamber (10). At least one input channel (33, 34, 43, 44, 63) is controlled with a valve (31, 32, 41, 42, 61). One or more of the at least one input channel (33, 34, 43, 44, 63) has an eccentric alignment configured to produce an eccentric input flow of air creating a self-preserving flow pattern (91, 92) of a fuel-air mixture within the first combustion chamber (10).
