There's a '
How Does the WDE Work?' section here.
This video is pretty good too.

This
paper is about combining it with a turbine.
Kind of an obvious thing to try.
They rotate way slower than turbines, but at a guess you'd want it turning at quite a lick to get the shock-wave thing going.
As it's a constant speed engine, turning a generator/motor, that's not a problem.
