Abstract
A dynamic pressure machine with integrated combustion has a cellular wheel containing a number of cells, in which a continuously recurring ignition and combustion process takes place. Neither energy supply from the outside nor a control action should be required to maintain this continuously recurring process. Means are provided for the automatic ignition and combustion of the entering fresh air-fuel mixture, in particular: at least one hot gas pocket disposed on the wall of the cell; a catalytic coating of the cell wall; and, a hot spot in the cell.
