Scenarios involving common rotating equipment reliability issues: rotors, journal bearings and vibration, thrust bearings, balance drums, pump mechanical seals, compressor seals (liquid and dry ...

The other five thrust bearing types internally generate oil pressure (self-acting) to support thrust loads. Here, a rotating face or shaft collar pumps oil onto a supporting thrust-bearing surface.

A startup high-speed flight company from Houston, Texas, has successfully tested its Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine (RDRE) ultimately aimed at allowing travel at four to six times the speed of ...

Rotating detonation rocket engines (RDREs) use detonation as the primary means of energy conversion, producing more useful available work compared to equivalent deflagration-based devices; ...

Rotating detonation engines (RDEs), as opposed to oblique wave detonation engines or pulse detonation engines, use ring-shaped chambers and precisely-timed fuel injection to generate constant thrust.

LE BOURGET—RTX says they have achieved positive thrust with a rotating detonation combustor (RDC) in a turbine engine in a relevant thrust class for a weapon. The disclosure during the Paris Air ...

NASA: Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine Could Be the Future of Space Travel This technology could provide high thrust at much greater efficiency compared to today's rocket engines. By Ryan Whitwam ...

Smaller, streamlined electronics make lubricant-free, low-friction magnetic bearings feasible for more rotating machines. • Magnetic bearings support rotating shafts in five axes without solid ...

NASA started testing such a design, called RDRE (Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine), in the summer of last year. Back then, the rocket engine's first hot fire test saw it burn for close to one ...
