Suction device includes swirl flow-forming body that forms a swirl flow to apply suction to material by use of Bernoulli's principle, and case that houses swirl flow-forming body, and guides flow of a fluid flowing out of concave part of swirl flow-forming body. Case includes guide part, flange part, and cover part. Guide part controls flow of a fluid flowing out of concave part of swirl flow-forming body and flowing along end face, such that the fluid flows in a direction away from a position of material. Flange part forms, between flange part and end face, a flow path for a fluid to flow out of concave part. Cover part is fixed on the top surface of main body of swirl flow-forming body.

A centrifugal gas compressor with rotating hollow housing and an independently rotating, turbine compresses gas bubbles in capillary tubes and recovers energy from the liquid drain (sometimes a liquid recycler). The housing rotatably retains an internal spool having the turbine. Gas-liquid emulsion fed to the capillaries generates compressed gas-liquid emulsion at a radially distal annular region in an annular lake within the spool. Compressed gas leaves the lake and is ported away. A turbine blade edge in spilt over liquid drives the turbine, converting angular velocity/momentum into shaft torque as recovered energy. Blade captured liquid is recycled to capillary inputs.

The gas compression method/system restricts flow of emulsified liquid-gas mixture through many substantially radial capillary tube-passages in a rotating disk by either one-way valves, narrowing the passages, hydraulic impedance and/or reinforcement of coriolis forces in terminal end tail segments of the capillary passages. Compressed gas is released from peripherally collected compressed gas-liquid emulsion (beyond the terminal ends of the tubes) in a arcuate peripheral disc space when the compressed gas bubbles emerge from the peripherally collected emulsion. A compressed gas drain draws off gas from the peripheral space. Liquid drain draws off liquid from the space. In different embodiments, radial outboard flow through the capillaries is effected by various one-way valves which may be a single valve in the passage or multiple valves. Coriolis force in tail segments is enhanced by angular displacement in the direction of rotation. Valves may be used in combination with such tail-end segments.
