Abstract

A pulse jet system and method is disclosed. In an example, the pulse jet system includes a combustion chamber, intake ports to deliver combustion agents to the combustion chamber, an expansion chamber to cool a combustion product following combustion of the combustion agents in the combustion chamber, and an exhaust to exit the cooled gas from the expansion chamber. In another example, the pulse jet system includes a combustion chamber with intake ports to deliver combustion agents to the combustion chamber, wherein the combustion chamber is part of a four cycle engine. The pulse jet system also includes an expansion chamber to cool a combustion product following combustion of the combustion agents in the combustion chamber.

Claims (8)

1. A method of water desalination and purification, comprising:

introducing heated water to an evaporation chamber, wherein vapor is evaporated without increasing pressure;

moving the vapor into exhaust of a pulse jet; and

exiting the vapor in air, and the exhaust of the pulse jet, under pressure to an expansion chamber to produce purified water.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising recovering energy in the expansion chamber.

3. The method of claim 1 : further comprising pumping water into the evaporation chamber.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising solar heating the heated water in the evaporation chamber.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising removing pure water from the expansion chamber.
