The Holzwarth gas turbine is a form of explosion, or constant volume, gas turbine in which combustion takes place cyclically in a combustion chamber closed off by valves. The Holzwarth gas turbine is named after its developer Dr Hans Holzwarth (1877-1953) who designed several prototype engines used for testing and experimental service in Germany and Switzerland between 1908 and 1943.[1][2][3]
