PULSE ALTITUDE TUBE Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC G01M9/02 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: proposed pulse altitude tube comprises prechamber with electrodes separated by membrane from tube hydrodynamic channel, and piston that forms a differential booster with its overpiston space is communicated with push-gas source while underpiston space is filled with damping fluid and communicated with draining tank. Besides, proposed tube comprises booster dynamic component compensator, fast-operation valve for starting stabilisation system communicating via booster piston with prechamber inner space. Booster split housing has its overpiston space communicated via aforesaid fast-operation valve with push-gas receiver and its underpiston space communicated via adjustable length hydraulic channel with booster dynamic component compensator under piston inner space. Prechamber is equipped with joint assembly and check valve to connection of high-enthalpy adiabatic generator and reacting gas mix feed unit and comprises membrane forced opening device arranged at prechamber outlet.

EFFECT: expanded operating performances.
