Rotary Jet, Power Generation Systems and Motors Including the Same, and Methods of Making and Using the Same
A rotary device (e.g., a rotary jet), power generation system, and methods of manufacturing and using the same are disclosed. The rotary jet includes a central axle or shaft, an inlet configured to receive at least one fluid, and a plurality of radial arms in fluid communication with the inlet, configured to rotate around the central axle or shaft. Each radial arm has a nozzle at a distal end thereof and an arc between the inlet and the nozzle. The radial arms extend radially from the central axle or shaft at least in part, and are configured to rotate when the fluid enters the inlet and passes through the radial arms, or when a rotational force is applied to the central axle or shaft. Each nozzle may have an opening facing away from a direction of rotation of the radial arms or facing in a direction parallel with the central axle or shaft.
Rotary engine, apparatus including the same, and methods of making and using the same
A rotary disk, useful for transferring kinetic energy or generating torque or electricity, is disclosed. The rotary disk includes a housing enclosing a manifold, an axle or shaft to which the housing is joined or fixed, conduits or passages within and/or extending from the housing, combustion chambers at distal ends of the conduits or passages and external to the housing, nozzles at distal ends of the combustion chambers, and a compressor in or upstream from the manifold. The conduits or passages are joined or fixed to the housing, and carry an oxygen-containing gas from the manifold to the nozzles. The nozzles direct the heated oxygen-containing gas and combustion gases in a predetermined direction. The compressor includes fins or blades joined or fixed to the axle or shaft, or to a different, colinear axle or shaft. The compressor is configured to increase a pressure of the oxygen-containing gas at entrances of the conduits or passages.

Toroidal combustion chamber
A device comprising a combustion toroid for receiving combustion-induced centrifugal forces therein to continuously combust fluids located therein and an outlet for exhaust from said combustion toroid.
METHOD FOR DRIVING A ROTOR WITH THE AID OF A JET ENGINE
Rotor systems are driven by jet engines arranged at the tip of a rotor that includes a structure that turns on a rotational axis. A jet stream generated by a jet engine produces a thrust force orthogonal to a rotor radius to motivate rotation. Methods presented include those which take advantage of the intrinsic centrifugal forces present in the rotor to convey gaseous fuel to the engine. Liquefied fuel from a source reservoir is evaporated into a gaseous state and made subject to centrifugal force causing it to move radially outward to a detonation type jet engine. These methods further include special process for mixing fuel with oxidizer and treating fuel or/and fuel mixtures to improve their detonation capacity.
FAN MODULE IMPELLER, AND JET TURBINE ENGINE EQUIPPED WITH SUCH AN IMPELLER
Turbojet engine fan module wheel, including a plurality of blades made of composite material, each blade having a root assembled with a base distinct from the bases of the other blades, each base having a groove extending axially and opening out on the side of the upstream face and on the side of the downstream face, each root cooperating by axial interlocking in a form-fitting manner, for example in the shape of a dovetail, with the groove of the base, whereby the root is retained on the base along the radial and circumferential directions, and each base cooperates with at least one part configured to axially block the root within the groove of the base, whereby the root is retained along the axial direction.
TOROIDAL COMBUSTION CHAMBER
A device comprising a combustion toroid for receiving combustion-induced centrifugal forces therein to continuously combust fluids located therein and an outlet for exhaust from said combustion toroid.
