  • Patent number: 10400785
    Abstract: A propeller formed along the lines of a vortex, i.e. a Fibonacci spiral projected onto a surface formed by a square hyperbola. Fluid flows evenly along the length of the propeller with less turbulence allowing it to operate at a higher pitch without stalling and resulting in reduced power requirements for a given flow rate. The underlying geometric shape of a vortex is an equiangular logarithmic spiral also known as golden spiral or Fibonacci spiral as is often found in natural objects ranging from sea shells to spiral galaxies. When viewed three dimensionally, the fluid flow in a vortex can be drawn as a projection of a golden spiral onto a surface of revolution of a square hyperbola where the vertex is equal to one and the focus is equal to the square root of 2.

  • Publication number: 20060084022
    Abstract: A method of effecting burning is described wherein combustible materials are introduced into a vortex having a high pressure periphery and a lower pressure center, or are caused to form such a vortex and there is provided further fluid to provide for the combustion of this material, and the mixture is ignited whilst in the vortex. A variation of this is method of effecting burning which includes the step of introducing as a burnable mixture, a mixture into a vortex of a type having an outer periphery with a higher pressure than its pressure at a center of the vortex. The methods are useful for generating heat, steam or disposal of wastes.

  • Patent number: 7000573
    Abstract: A method and arrangement of supplying a supplementary fuel (8) to a compression ignition internal combustion engine wherein an air supply (3) to the engine is first caused to pass through a natural vortex creator (1), and a supply of supplementary fuel (8) to the engine is supplied into a low pressure area the natural vortex (1) which provides a substantially constant ratio of supplementary fuel to main fuel through varying load conditions.
