Abstract

See full text

A hybrid-like liquid fuel motor (the “motor”) may include a port surrounded by a wall. Surrounding the wall are a plurality of chambers and segmented walls to separate the chambers. In some instances, a single helix chamber may surround the wall, and may operate similar to that of a segmental chamber. During operation of the motor, gas flows from one end of the port to another end of the port. As the walls surrounding the port begin to disintegrate, liquid fuel within chambers begins to begin to mix with the flow of gas. As the segmented walls between the chambers begin to disintegrate, liquid from the other chambers begin to mix with the flow of gas, creating a metering of the liquid fuel.
