According to one implementation, a rotating device includes at least one ring, at least one motor and a power transmission mechanism. The least one ring rotates in a circumference direction. The at least one ring includes no hub for housing a motor inside the at least one ring. The at least one motor generates power for rotating the at least one ring. The power transmission mechanism transmits the power to the at least one ring.

A cardiac pump having a turbine with internal blades, includes a pump designed to circulate a fluid, including a housing, and a turbine which is arranged in the housing and is designed to move rotationally relative to the housing. The turbine includes a body designed to move rotationally, a hollow central part which extends through the body from one side to the other and is intended to allow the fluid to pass through the turbine, and at least one blade that is positioned on the inner wall of the body, in the hollow central part, and is designed to circulate the fluid.

A motorized pump to pump fluid. The motorized pump includes a shaft disposed in a center portion of the motorized pump, a motor having a motor stator, and a pump having an internal diffuser and an external impeller, wherein the motor stator radially surrounds the pump. A housing radially encloses the motor stator, the internal diffuser, and the external impeller. The motor stator is disposed adjacent the housing.

An electrically powered pool cleaner may include a housing defining an axial passageway. A rotatable sleeve impeller may be supported by the housing within the axial passageway. The axial passageway may include an unobstructed central portion for passage of fluid and pool debris therethrough into a filter bag removably connected to the housing. A motor may be operatively connected to the sleeve impeller and a power supply operatively connected to the motor. Rotation of the sleeve impeller may accelerate fluid flow through the axial passageway for drawing debris in the pool into the filter bag.

A technique facilitates pumping of various fluids such as well fluids. An electric submersible pumping system is constructed with an outer housing which contains an integrated pump and motor. The pump may comprise an impeller disposed within a stator of the motor. The integration of the pump and the motor enables elimination of various components of traditional electric submersible pumping systems to thus provide a simpler and more compact system for pumping fluids.

A fan includes an impeller including an impeller plate and a motor including a rotor with a rotor plate. A protrusion of the impeller plate protrudes downward in an axial direction from a lower surface on a lower side in the axial direction toward the rotor plate. A plate spring of the rotor plate extends in a direction intersecting the axial direction and is bendable in the axial direction. At least a portion of the protrusion is accommodated in a hole of the rotor plate. The protrusion contacts a leading end of the plate spring while being accommodated in the hole. The plate spring is bent in the axial direction while the protrusion is in contact with the leading end of the plate spring.

A pump comprising a housing defining an internal volume; an impeller disposed in the internal volume of the housing, wherein the impeller comprises a magnetic element and at least a portion of the surface of the impeller conforms to a generally logarithmic spiral; and a drive element adapted to magnetically couple with the magnetic element of the impeller.

A propeller having a plurality of blades extending radially outward from a hub, the blades forming a loop. Each loop having an intake portion, an exhaust portion and a tip portion extending radially outward from the hub and a gap between the intake root and the exhaust root. The tip portion of each of the blades is 30%-75% of the blade, the tip portion beginning at a first deviation from zero of the roll value and extending to 90 degrees, wherein roll value is zero in a plane parallel to the hub axis, and wherein the blades have a vertical angle between ?45 degrees and 45 degrees throughout.

A combined pump and motor has a stator mounted for non-rotation in a housing. The stator has windings that create an electromagnetic field in the stator cavity when powered. An upper diffuser and a lower diffuser are mounted for non-rotation in the stator cavity. Annular clearances exist between the upper diffuser and the inner diameter of the stator and between the lower diffuser and the inner diameter of the stator. An impeller between the lower diffuser and the upper diffuser has an array of magnets circumferentially mounted around the impeller that impart rotation to the impeller in response to the electromagnetic field in the stator cavity. The array of magnets has at least one end portion extending into one of the upper and lower diffuser annular clearances.

A combined well pump and motor includes a housing having an axis, an upstream end and a downstream end. Diffusers are mounted for non-rotation in the housing, each of the diffusers having diffuser passages. An impeller is mounted between each of the diffusers for rotation relative to the impellers. Each of the impellers has impeller vanes defining impeller passages. The impeller has an exterior outer wall extending circumferentially around the impeller vanes, closing outer sides of each of the impeller passages. An array of magnets is mounted to each of the impellers. The magnets are spaced circumferentially apart from each other around the axis at a different radial distance from the axis than the impeller vanes. A stator is mounted in the housing. The stator has windings for interacting with the magnets to impart rotation to the impellers.
