This is my design, it probably won't work (or get built).
The compressor is simply two funnels that spin. The jet has 4 chambers (I could get away with 2, but 4 will be more stable). As the compressor spins it forces air into 2 of the 4 chambers where it is mixed with fuel. As the compressor continues to spin, the chamber is sealed at which point the air-fuel mixture is ignited. Because it is sealed, the only exit is out the exhaust end of the engine. It passes by a simple fan which causes the compressor to continue to spin. The compressor then re-aligns, clearing out the remaining exhaust and bringing in a fresh air-fuel mix to start the cycle over.
I believe this would technically be a Pulse detonation engine.
