Abstract: A three dimensional figure eight propeller/impeller blade apparatus is provided which may be used to propel a vehicle, power a shaft, create a vacuum, or move a medium. The blade apparatus is made from an elongated strip of generally flat material. In one embodiment, the ends of the flat strip of material are joined together to form two loops having an overall three dimensional figure eight configuration. In forming the loops, the upper and lower surfaces of the flat strip of material are continuously maintained relative to each other.
