A hybrid pump includes an impeller, a magnetic drive configured to control rotation of the impeller, a drive shaft combined with the magnetic drive and a motor. The drive shaft rotates in response to rotation of an axis of the motor, the magnetic drive rotates when the drive shaft rotates, the impeller rotates in response to rotation of the magnetic drive, a drive body of the magnetic drive is formed of plastic, and the drive shaft is formed of metal.

An energy-conserving fluid pump is an apparatus used to transport low viscosity fluids like water and fuel without experiencing cavitation, recirculation, nor motor locking while also conserving energy. The apparatus includes a fluid diffuser, a fluid densifier, a convergent housing, and a strut assembly. The fluid diffuser improves the efficiency of the apparatus by expanding the fluid inflow and maintaining a fluid pressure buildup. The fluid densifier shears the incoming fluid flow from the fluid diffuser and increases the fluid outflow pressure. The convergent housing encloses the fluid diffuser and the fluid densifier while facilitating the outflow of the pressurized fluid without the loss of fluid pressure nor cavitation. In addition, the convergent housing facilitates the transfer of torque to the fluid diffuser for the operation of the apparatus. The strut assembly keeps the fluid densifier stationary while enabling the rotation of the convergent housing and/or the fluid diffuser.

A pump system for pressurizing a fluid within a closed loop thermal transport bus is disclosed herein. The example of the pump system disclosed herein includes an electric motor including a rotor shaft and a stator, wherein the rotor shaft is to generate a first torque; a pump including an impeller coupled to an impeller shaft, wherein the impeller is to increase a kinetic energy of the fluid; a driver wheel attached to the rotor shaft, wherein the driver wheel is radially connected to a follower wheel; and a co-axial magnetic coupling to connect at least one of the follower wheel to the impeller shaft or the driver wheel to the rotor shaft, wherein the co-axial magnetic coupling includes an outer hub, an inner hub, and a barrier can, the barrier can to hermetically seal a portion of the pump system from the fluid.

A magnetic pump is provided that includes a magnet can and an impeller that are individually formed, that is capable of easily performing assembling/disassembling, that has high workability during manufacturing or maintenance, and that has high strength in a connection part between the magnet can and the impeller, and to provide a rotary body for the magnetic pump. Particularly, the fitted connection part between the magnet can and the impeller is a spigot ferrule that has a simple structure and that is firmly connectable, and a cutout portion and a convex portion are formed at a part at which an innermost part of a socket and a front end part of a spigot face each other, and the connection strength can be further heightened by twisting and turning the spigot-ferrule part, and the return of a turned state of the spigot-ferrule part is prevented by fitting the restraining member into a gap generated behind the convex portion in the turning direction of the convex portion that has entered the cutout portion and the cutout portion, and therefore the fitted connection part is never loosened.

Provided is a fluid pump assembly. The pump has a pair of housings magnetically coupled to each other. The first housing contains a drive motor and a magnetic assembly. The second housing contains a magnetic assembly and a blade for imparting movement to a fluid. As the first magnetic assembly is rotated by the drive motor, the magnetic connection to the assembly in the second housing causes the second magnet to rotate, driving the blade.
