Abstract: A fan blade is mounted on a shaft or arranged to vary in pitch via rotation about a pitching axis. The fan blade is mounted with a center of mass offset from the shaft or pitching axis. This offset reduces torque around the shaft or pitching axis.

Abstract: A coolant distribution system uses two premixed streams of coolant at either extreme of a concentration range, and mixes these two streams in the correct percentage to obtain the desired concentration. Mixing the two streams follows a pulse width approach, and the system may use a manifold to deliver fluid to multiple machines.
Abstract: A compact variable pitch fan has a drive fluid pitch change mechanism. A pitch change piston is constrained to follow reciprocating motion under drive fluid control within a peripheral hub from which fan blades extend outward. A pitch change sensor is mounted with the rotary union.
