Knock, knock. Who's there? A Rotating Detonation Engine



This is still hypothetical enough that it's Corral material. At t=183 you see two intake valves with valve springs and cam lobes. And an exhaust port. With a supersonic exhaust it's prolly loud.

Later it appear to be structured like a one-sided Telsa Turbine.

I was pleased to see at t=444 that Scuderi made the list. But it's listed as an external combustion engine. Curious.
