The pump according to the present disclosure includes: a housing having a suction chamber and a discharge chamber formed therein; a suction part extending outwardly from a circumferential surface of the housing, and having a suction passage formed therein through which a fluid is introduced into the suction chamber; a discharge part disposed under the suction part, extending from the circumferential surface of the housing in a direction opposite to the suction part, and having a discharge passage formed therein through which the fluid is discharged from the discharge chamber; a partition wall dividing the suction chamber and the discharge chamber, and having a communication hole formed at a center thereof for allowing the suction chamber to communicate with the discharge chamber; an impact body disposed toward the suction part so as to come into contact with the fluid introduced into the suction chamber through the suction passage; and a gas discharge part disposed at an upper portion of the circumferential surface of the housing and communicating with an outside so that gas, separated from the fluid in contact with the impact body, is discharged, wherein the suction part extends in one direction perpendicular to a virtual center line passing through the housing, and the impact body is disposed in a direction opposite to an extending direction of the suction part with respect to the virtual center line.

A gas compressor comprising a substantially hollow cylindrical drum secured to a fixed shaft and configured to rotate a volume of fluid about a central axis. A plurality of eductors may be affixed to the shaft through support rods and positioned within an interior of the drum to receive a flow of fluid during rotation of the drum. A gas inlet along the fixed shaft comprises a channel through which gas external to the drum may be drawn into the eductors and compressed. Compressed gas accumulates within a central area of the drum and may be harvested through a gas outlet along the fixed shaft. Additional embodiments may comprise pitot tubes to manage a fluid level within the drum, and a cooling system to manage fluid temperature.

A gas compressor comprising a drum affixed to a rotating shaft, the drum including a plurality of compression channels between a common pressure zone and an interior surface of the drum distal to an axis of rotation. A static vane return assembly adjacent the compression channels includes vanes extending from an inlet at an outer circumference to the common pressure zone and directing gas into the common pressure zone, either through the vanes or via separate channels or ducts. Fluid inside the rotating dmm forms an annular lake that is drawn through the vanes and into the common pressure zone. Fluid is then forced into the compression channels where gas in the fluid is compressed as it travels from the common pressure zone toward the interior surface. The pressurized gas is separated from the liquid prior to leaving the compression channel assembly while the liquid is returned to the lake.

A gas compressor comprising a rotating drum and a return assembly. The drum includes a compression channel assembly with compression channels between a common zone and a distal area. The compression channels may be formed by a plurality of V-shaped blocks. The return assembly draws liquid from an annular lake formed in the drum to a fluid outlet. A gas inlet in the return assembly mixes incoming gas with the liquid. An optional eductor connected to the gas inlet draws gas into the gas inlet. Fluid entering the common pressure zone is forced into the compression channels that compress the gas. Pressurized gas is separated from liquid in the fluid prior to leaving the compression channel. An inducer may be positioned between the fluid outlet of the return assembly and the opening of the centralized common pressure zone.
