    It’s also how that fuel is burning - detonation vs deflagration.

    Put simply, it’s actually exploding rather than just burning, and by controlling how/when more fuel is injected around the ring, you get a controlled explosion that continuously circles around.

    They’re taking about a 30-60% increase in efficiency, which is nuts.
