Abstract:
1. A thermodynamic louvered jet engine, comprising: a first air chamber having an inlet end and an outlet end, the inlet end being exposed to ambient air; a combustion chamber, the first air chamber having a length extending through the combustion chamber for directing ambient air from the inlet end to the outlet end; a second air chamber surrounding the first air chamber, the second air chamber having an inlet end and an outlet end, the outlet end of the second air chamber being in fluid communication with the combustion chamber; a plurality of louvers positioned adjacent the inlet end of the second air chamber, the plurality of louvers being exposed to ambient air and being adapted to receive ambient air therethrough for flow into the second air chamber; means for injecting fuel into the combustion chamber to form a mixture with air flowing through the second chamber; igniters positioned in the combustion chamber for igniting the mixture; a combustion gas recirculation chamber surrounding the first air chamber, the combustion gas recirculation chamber having an inlet end in fluid communication with the combustion chamber for receiving a portion of combustion gases from the combustion chamber and an outlet end positioned adjacent the louvers; and a third air chamber surrounding said combustion gas recirculation chamber, the third air chamber being interposed between said second air chamber and said combustion gas recirculation chamber, the third air chamber receiving cooling air for the engine.
