They are using the detonation engine's exhaust to entrain larger volume of air into the secondary combustion chamber using an ejector nozzle design. The engine is not going to be very efficient at subsonic speeds, but interesting design.
Yea, who says you need a spark? Just use more enthusiastic propellants. Also, using a 4 cycle analogy for a rocket is a really strange choice. No mention of throwing shit out of the rocket’s ass to push it in the opposite direction? And if it breaths air, it’s not a rocket.
Very nice explanation of how this multi-stage ramjet engine works - very understandable; thanks for taking the time to create this.
Love the videos. Keep them coming!
RDE as a preburner is wild oml

For an engineer with doctorate, and long experience with rocketry, he makes a pretty weird conceptual outline for rocket engine theory.

Good Luck with your venture and new technology
A little over my head.
