Zusammenfassung:A component 1 for compressing fuel using an input shockwave. The component 1 comprises a body 2 having a recess wall 6 defining a recess 4. The component 1 further comprises an input 12 suitable for inputting the input shockwave into the component 1. A target element 10 is within the recess 4. The target element 10 includes a fuel-containing material. The component 1 is configured to manipulate the input shockwave to provide a localised concentration of energy within the target element 10. The fuel-containing material may comprise a fuel-doped material. A system may comprise the component 1 and a mechanism for generating the input shockwave at the input of the component 1. The mechanism may drive a projectile 14 into the component 1 to generate a shockwave at the input of the component 1.
