The invention provides a continuous rotary knocking engine. The engine comprises an inner shell, an outer shell, an insulating sleeve, an ignition core and an insulating connecting piece, the outer shell comprises a front part and a rear part, the front part and the inner shell together form an annular
airflow channel, the rear part is electrically connected with the low-
voltage end of a high-
voltage power supply, an annular
combustion chamber is formed by the insulating sleeve and the rear part, and the ignition core is electrically connected with the high-
voltage end of the high-voltage power supply. When the continuous rotary
detonation engine is connected with the high-voltage power supply, a large-volume and high-concentration low-temperature
plasma discharge streamer is generated inthe annular
combustion chamber, further, when the voltage difference between the low-voltage end and the high-voltage end of the high-voltage power supply is large enough, the low-temperature
plasma discharge streamer inside the annular
combustion chamber is converted into a large amount of
discharge streamer filaments and generates a large amount of active substances, explosible
mixed gas in theannular
combustion chamber is broken down and is subjected to rotary knocking combustion, due to the fact that the
chemical reaction rate is accelerated by the active substances, the ignition effect is enhanced, and therefore the time from
detonation to knocking is shortened.
