Abstract: A method and apparatus for the generation of power wherein a fluid is circulated within a pressurizer wherein the fluid is pressurized by centrifugal action and then passed via nozzles to a toroidal shaped cavity for further pressurization. After passing through said circular shaped cavity, the fluid passes through nozzles oriented to discharge forward, in the direction of rotation, and then the fluid is passed through a reaction type turbine wheel with inward flow, to generate the power. Work is required to rotate the pressurizer, and work is obtained from the turbine, and the difference between the two amounts of work is the work output for the power generator. Heat is added to the working fluid of the power generator from external sources. Working fluid may be either a gas or a liquid. Normally, the working fluid is maintained within the power generator at an elevated pressure.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for generating power by passing a motivating fluid from a higher energy level to a lower energy level by compressing said fluid within a centrifuge type first rotor and discharging said fluid via nozzles near the first rotor periphery forwardly in the direction of rotation to a second rotor which is an inward flow type reaction turbine, then passing said fluid through a regeneration type heat exchanger to transfer heat from the inward bound fluid into outward bound fluid, after which the fluid is cooled in a heat exchanger to its original temperature and is passed outward again thus completing its cycle. Heat is added to said fluid near the periphery of the second rotor, or the heat may be added near the periphery of the first rotor, or both. Additionally, the fluid may be supplied to the unit from outside source, and returned to such outside source, and the cooling thus may be eliminated from the unit. Further, the entering fluid from outside source may be at an elevated pressure.
