Pulsing combustion

A pulsing combustion device comprising:

• means for defining an elongate combustion chamber having an inlet for a combustible mixture and an unvalved outlet open to the atmosphere for combustion gases;
• a floating valve member mounted in reciprocation relation in a wall of said combustion chamber, said valve member having a first side in communication with said combustion chamber and a second side in communication with a supply of a pressurized combustible mixture along the periphery of ports through said valve member, means for directing said combustible mixture along the periphery of said combustion chamber;
• said reciprocation of said floating valve member in said wall closing and opening communication through said ports between said supply of combustible mixture and said combustion chamber;
• means for supplying a presurized combustible mixture to said second side of said floating valve member;
• and means for igniting and combusting said combustible mixture in said combustion chamber to produce pressurized combustion gases, said floating valve member being reciprocated by said pressurized combustible mixture in communication with said second side and said pressurized combustion gases in communication with said first side to regulate the flow of said combustible mixture into said combustion chamber;
• said pulsing combustion device further comprising combustion air blower means to a pressurized combustion air conduit at about 31/2 to about 7 inches water, a combustion air flow regulator means at one end of said pressurized combustion air conduit controlling combustion air flow to a combustible mixture mixing chamber, means for supplying fuel gas at a pressure of about 2 inches to about 31/2 inches water to said mixing chamber, and combustible gaseous mixture supply line means for supplying pressurized combustible mixture from said maixing chamber to said second side of said floating valve member.

• a floating valve member mounted in reciprocation relation in a wall of said combustion chamber, said valve member having a first side in communication with said combustion chamber and a second side in communication with a supply of a pressurized combustible mixture and having a plurality of ports through said valve member, means for directing said combustible mixture along the periphery of said combustion chamber;
• said reciprocation of said floating valve member in said wall closing and opening communication through said ports between said supply of combustible mixture and said combustion chamber;
• means for supplying a pressurized combustible mixture to said second side of said floating valve member;
• and means for igniting and combusting said combustible mixture in said combustion chamber to produce pressurized combustion gases, said floating valve member being reciprocated by said pressurized combustible mixture in communication with said second side and said pressurized combustion gases in communication with said first side to regulate the flow of said combustible mixture into said combustion chamber;
• wherein an end of said combustion chamber comprising said inlet for said combustible mixture is removably attached to said elongate combustion chamber by attachment means and the inner side of said combustion chamber end defines an enlarged combustible gas inlet chamber.
