1. A rapid-fire external compression engine comprising:

  • a combustion chamber having a combustion portion proximate to a head end of the combustion chamber;

    an intake device in fluid communication with the combustion chamber, the intake device being configured to introduce a pre-compressed fuel/oxidizer mixture into the combustion chamber through at least one fluid intake port, wherein a pressure of the pre-compressed fuel/oxidizer mixture is suitable to facilitate combustion without the need for further compression within the combustion chamber;

    an ignition source for selectively timing a combustion of the pre-compressed fuel/oxidizer mixture, wherein the combustion functions to generate energy in the combustion chamber;

    a rapid-response component situated adjacent to and in fluid communication with the combustion portion of the combustion chamber, the rapid-response component configured to extract a portion of the energy generated from the combustion; and

    an out-take device in fluid communication with the combustion chamber, the out-take device configured to purge exhaust gasses from the combustion chamber through at least one fluid out-take port.
