[@cephotographic]

Maybe you need to add an aerospike so the detonation has something to spin around. The Miles-Bach-Michalski engine has a central spike though it was truncated. Another thought is to move the primer to the back of the device instead of the exit port and angle it to induce rotation. The MBM engine had their starter in that position. Also being in the Northern hemisphere you will want to spin anti-clockwise so you aren't fighting the Coriolis Effect.

[@EbenEliasjr]

Would that not make a bad engine design for practical use, a jet flying north to South across the equator, for instance how would that affect the rotation?

[@3dpprofessor]

@@netanelelbaz7247 So, a couple of things to consider with this idea. Most drones achieve rotation by taking advantage of the rotational inertia of the propellers. But rocket engines don't have that, so simply replacing props with rocket engines will result in a hover-only drone. Instead it would be best to do it the way NASA did with their Project Morpheus; a single rocket engine to provide hover thrust and smaller engines to stabilize it and provide side thrust. Which brings up the point that NASA's already doing that. Also, don't beg for likes.

I’m a researcher at the University of Central Florida specialized in RDE’s and Pressure Gained Devices. I have been watching your videos for a while and would love to talk more if you are interested.

An additional idea would be to create a planar RDE which would use this exact same set up and would just be used to observe the detonation wave.

My issue with this type of engine is that they are INSANELY AND EXTREMELY UNSTABLE.

I did see P&W got a contract for them, but it will be interesting to see if anything comes of the research.

The gunpowder in the shotgun shell won't explode until its confined. Pistol powders burn faster than shotgun powders. The explosive in a modern primer is usually a combination of things based around Lead styphnate. As alternative sources for detonation; You might be able to use something like Armstrong's mixture (usually available premade in pull string fireworks, kids capgun toys, either the red paper strips or the little red plastic 'loads'). Or, the mercury fulminate from party poppers, snap pops, adult crackers, ie the fireworks you throw against the ground.

One day I was at the plant while they were doing an inspection of one of the gas turbines. I didn’t have much to do that day so I stuck around and watched. They finished up and went inside to spin it up for peak and I was just watching from the corner when one of them turns to me and says, “you’re in the no no square” Apparently, once the generator has synced up its voltage and phase to the grid, a massive breaker trips to connect the generator to the grid. If that connection fails for some reason there’s the possibility that all the power that generator is making will explode out, ripping the massive steel breaker door off its hinges and sending it straight through the no no square and whoever happens to be standing in it.

RDEs are typically an annular design with a center spike (similar to aerospike), so you could potentially try using a cooled center spike to guide the rotating detonation wace around the circumference Edit: In addition, the detonation wave propagates around at the inlet of the chamber so your ignition source/detonation seed should also be closer in that area

[@npsit1]

That's what I was thinking. If you just have large open combustion chamber, the combustion doesn't really have a path; you just have to hope it'll stick to the outside wall.

[@dongleseon8785]

If you read the original paper they specifically say that it's achievable without inner cylinder. But it probably makes it easier.

[@pancakemonkey1543]

Instead of having the fuel go through to try to cool the center you could just have the feul or air cool the outside wall like on the space shuttle rocket motor

RE your comment about the central spike, that had also crossed my mind. I didn't even think about where the detonation should start. Thanks!

[@dongleseon8785]

Another problem which becomes obvious if you open up his 3d file is that the injector is placed in quite bad manner that oxy and fuel won't be mixed in time. Edit: the paper he referred to has initiator 65mm apart from the injector surface. I don't think it should be close to the combustion area. Plus, geometrical bump from the initiator might disturb the shockwave. You don't want to have shockwave echoing around especially because it doesn't have guiding inner cylinder in this case.

The lab engine used a metal cap over the tube which forced the engine to decide it's rotation. With your engine you might get some rotation but you can't see it since the exit is a hole. you probably should try to restrict the exit point but then get ready to run. It will be like a bomb for real if you make the opening too small. I suggest trying to use the worse quality air for combustion so that it might have less force but you can abuse the cylinder more.

Primers used to be mercury fulminate, but now they can differ between brands in their composition. The main thing is the powder, it must be compressed very tightly to itself and in a confined chamber to achieve the reaction speed you want just like it is when the shotgun shell is put together. It can also be rather hard to ignite properly which is why the primer is used for repeatability.

[@blurglide]

If he uses some kind of burst disk to momentarily contain the powder, he might achieve detonation

[@burningSHADOW42]

The "Centerfire ammunition" article on wikipedia goes into detail in the primer chemistry. Short form: mecury is not used anymore, modern compounds are really complex and contain lead, although some "green" ones are starting to get more popular.

[@jonp8015]

Yeah, it's funny how they switched from Murcury Fulmenide when they figured out how bad Mercury was... But what they changed it to was Lead Azide, because they didn't know how bad lead was yet... Now the standard is some kind of weird organic compound I can't remember the name of. Well, unless you got ammo made in the third world, then it probably still uses lead and mercury compounds.

[@jacobalberty]

Isn't it usually lead styphnate now?

[@burningSHADOW42]

@@jacobalberty according to Wikipedia, half of it is. The rest is a combination of other stuff. At least in the US. In Europe it might be different.

[@RookBytes]

What if you used some type of impeller to rotate the gases before they enter the detonation chamber, or another way might be to introduce the gas at a 90-degree angle into the det-chamber? Would that help to initiate the rotation of the wave?

[@matthewzoelle9149]

You should try making a rotational detonation engine powered remote control car or boat once you figure out getting the engine to run with a rotational wave for an extended length of time.

[@Smallathe]

A very neat test! I don't think you got to actually make a rotating PDE - but that is a descent attempt. I would love to see either form of 3D printed PDE actually taking off up in the air. It probably will have to be a theathered flight test... But I am doing more than just asking - community effort, right? - I'm also offering - I am more than willing to machine parts for the project too!

u really need to buy a lathe an a mini mlll, u would have the mill converted to cnc in no time an then u would be able to make some really insane stuff. i started with 3d printers, ended up with 10 fdm an 2 resin printers then i got a cnc router/laser cutter engraver but it wasnt able to do metals like i wanted or at least not without quite a bit of money spent on it first so i got a lathe first an really enjoyed using it so i got the mill a couple months later an its been fun, alot more hands on compared to the 3d printers an i still find my self making the models of the parts first 3d printing them an doing a drawing on paper that i use when im actually using the mill to help keep up with all the measurements but u really need to look into them at least a lathe if not both, but as a suggestion dont get one of the 7x10 12 14 lathe get something alittle bigger an i promise u will be thankful u did. the small 7x14 lathes are ok to learn with but they just are not rigid enough of out the box to do real hard steels without it being painfully slow so buy something that comes with a bigger cross slide than the 7x an u'll be good but with a lathe u would be able to make most of the stuff u would need for ur projects, plus it would be nice seeing u growing as a maker.

[@tygrdragon]

this engine is just so cool. from the looks of things, it seems to be very similar in design to an aerospike jet engine, but instead of just having linear air pressure, it spirals it! at least ti'm pretty sure that's what it's doing. from how their design looks, i think they aren't just using high pressured air, i think they're actually spiraling the air around the central cone to create that high speed shock wave needed for detonation to actually be useful. otherwise it would just go straight no matter how powerful the detonation is. basically, i think the thing needed to cause the spiraling effect to occur consistently, would be to angle the extremely high pressured air tubes either clockwise, or counterclockwise around a fixed central cylinder, like an aerospike. that way the high pressured air actually spins the fuel, rather than just pushing it out faster. At times like these, I wish i were better at 3d modeling.

[@3ch0_17]

I believe if you add a little bit of restriction to the nozzle of the engine, like the metal one in the lab, it will allow for a little bit of pressure to build on the inside which might help promote better detonation. It seemed that you had an original detonation followed by deflegration

[@dongleseon8785]

I don't think you need restrictions on RDE. Whole point of RDE is that the exhaust is already supersonic without use of nozzle.

[@3ch0_17]

@@dongleseon8785 then how come the metal one in the lab has a type of nozzle?

@@3ch0_17 I guess that would make a pressurized fuel mixture judging by the flowrate they use. Which would help greatly if your goal is to make a lot of thrust. But would the 3d printed part of integza withstand that kind of pressurized explosion...?

[@Fancysaurus]

Just a note for future projects. Instead of harvesting primers from shotgun shells you can get what is essentially just the primer on its own. Its commonly used in some nail guns as a way to drive nails through harder materials. No clue if you need a special license for it where you live though.

[@WesleyDanken]

You should try building the German Bell involving mercury and electricity spinning at high speeds in spheres to generate lift. Like the how you say flywheels before flywheels on old steam engines.

[@kylejohns2288]

modern shells/bullets don't use gunpowder that silvery stuff was gun cotton it burns faster and doesn't make smoke the same. the primers are high explosive a very small amount; lead styphnate, antimony sulfide, barium nitrate is some of the ingredients in boxer primers the most common type of primer.

[@vesstig]

I love watching the evolution of your content from your first engine tests, keep it up and the quality keeps getting better!

[@anthonysei]

Just a thought, and a question... Is there a annulus in the zone of ignition? I assume the primer fires into the chamber tangent to the inner wall. I wonder if you could get reliable rotation with a cylindrical/conical part attached to the forward bulkhead that would help confine and direct the detonation to propagate in the correct manner.

[@axtondragunov1784]

This is an old video but it needs to be said that you must be EXTREMELY careful when removing live primers if they sre old or just particularly soft or sensitive they can detonate when you are punching them out and its a good way to lose an eye or really burn or injure your hand or fingers especially when tapping out shotgun primers as the punch acts like a firing pin in a firearm be safe and be careful and mindful when you are removing live and unspent primers

[@simphiwemngadi2815]

I am inspired by your work, it educates me a lot. I like the fact you are funny at sometimes very educating.

[@PrebleStreetRecords]

Fun gun/primer facts. Most modern primers use lead styphnate and a blend of other herbs and spices. However, older ones use lead azide, or mercury fulminate. Also, smokeless powder like what’s found in those shot shells just deflagrates, it isn’t a detonation like Black Powder does. Different powders have different “speeds” they build pressure at, pistol powders reach peak pressure faster than rifle powders (generally). If you’re looking to repeat this, check out primers for muzzleloaders (usually called caps). In heavily regulated countries they tend to be easier to acquire than centerfire primers like the #209 in that shot shell. There are also companies like Prime-All who sell primer component mixes which are themselves not regulated and not explosive, but can be used to create a primer mixture. Great video, and it’s a bit funny to me that it’s so tough to get ammo components there- I can buy them at my hardware store!

[@fendermarxist]

black powder doesn't detonate either, it's actually one of the slowest burning things we classify as an explosive. you basically never want a high explosive as a gun propellant, too much risk of rupturing the barrel. the projectile doesn't accelerate via shockwave, but by building up the pressure as the propellant burns; that pressure then pushes the projectile down the barrel. incidentally that's why it looks so unimpressive when he burns it in the open; without that controlled pressure buildup, it's basically just a really expensive pile of tinder

[@Tunkkis]

You can also acquire blanks for powder actuated tools in many European countries.

[@braindecay9477]

​@@Tunkkis or be Austrian and over 18, then you can just buy the black powder in gun shops (and I'm assuming also smokeless powder, but black powder for sure. Can also get a rifle and rounds if you're at it lol, and we're not even close to the most liberal gun country in Europe)
