Sustainable electricity generation using compressorless hydrogen gas turbine achieves 5-minute (previously fractions of second) burn

"need for mechanical compressor prepping air for ignition wastes half of power generated... instead uses energy from fluid-mechanical instability/ vortice generated high pressure detonation waves within (without harming) combustion chamber transferred to turbine... reduces moving parts, lowers weight, significantly increases net power output, ideal using hydrogen due to its rapid reaction time but also works with other fuels... more cost-effective, ultra-efficient turbines for grid power generation, aviation"
