Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Pulse detonation/deflagration apparatus (30, 30') for providing enhanced pressure wave operating frequency and/or magnitude, and methods of increasing the frequency or the magnitude of deflagration to detonation waves (37), are provided. A pulse detonation/deflagration apparatus (30, 30') can include a main/outer pulse detonation/deflgration actuator/engine (31) with multiple smaller internal combustion chambers or tubes (33) positioned inside the cavity of the main/outer actuator/engine (31) with each performing the function of individual pulse detonation/deflagration actuator/engines (31), The output pressure waves (37) created by the internal combustion chambers or tubes (33) can be utilized for propulsion or for controlling large scale flows, where needed.
