I read that a thrust augmentor can significantly increase the efficiency of a jet engine (http://www.pulse-jets.com/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?t=931). Now from my understanding, the thrust agumentor is sort of like a ramjet. Only, in this case, the cold air is being sucked in along with the hot air that's being forced into it from the previous stage (like a jet jump). The hot air heats the cold air instead of burning fuel like in a ramjet.
So...
Could a low-force rocket pump cold air into a ramjet to provide high force? I don't think I understand all this correctly. I would appreciate any help. Please point me to where I could read about this (someone has already built it I'm sure).
Here is my Frankenstein image in case my words are worthless:
