A high efficiency, thermodynamically interactive power system incorporating a “thermodynamic battery” operating in the cryogenic range. The “thermodynamic battery” is drawn upon to optimize the efficiency of power generation during times of peak demand and is “recharged” during periods of low demand. The system is ideally suited for (although not limited to) micropowerplants suitable for widely distributed generation of power in or associated with homes and small businesses, reducing transmission loading on the grid and capable of supplying power into the grid during peak load periods. The widely distributed power generation made practical by present inventions also enables distribution of heating and chill service locally on a much larger scale than is possible with large, centralized generation plants. A novel form of gear pump mechanism makes possible inexpensive and effective multi-stage compression and expansion of gaseous working fluid particularly suitable for incorporation into micropowerplants for distributed and localized power generation.

The present invention relates to highly efficient suction and compression rotating mechanisms, particularly the compression mechanism with piston blocks mounted on two axes and driven by a pair of matching gears in the field of compressors and vacuums or hydraulic system such as oil pump, hydraulic motor, hydraulic gearbox, specifically there is application that uses this mechanism to create one rotary motor with multi compression stages, force-generating stages and continuous fuel burning regime. The new rotary lobe structure in this invention provides a close contact between curved surfaces with the same radius, which is a “Surface -to-surface” contact, whith much better tightness than “line” contact.

A vacuum pump screw rotor, comprising at least two helical displacer elements on a rotor shaft. The at least two displacer elements have different pitches, but the pitches of each displacer element are constant. Furthermore, the displacer elements each have a helical recess, each having a contour that remains the same over its entire length. Hereby, a suction-side displacer element has a recess having an asymmetric contour, and a pressure-side displacer element has a recess having a symmetrical contour.

A blower may include a blower housing that may include a plurality of rotor chambers and a plurality of rotors. The plurality of rotors may be substantially identical and each may include a twist angle and a helix angle. The rotors and the blower housing may be configured to create internal fluid compression when the rotors are rotating at a first rotational speed and not to create internal fluid compression when the rotors are rotating at a second rotational speed. The rotors and the blower housing may be configured to create the internal fluid compression without backflow slots in the blower housing. The twist angle may include the angular displacement of lobes of the plurality of rotors between axial ends of the plurality of rotors. The helix angle may be a function of the twist angle and a pitch diameter of the plurality of rotors.
