  • Angular velocity stepping and methods of use in turbomachinery
    Patent number: 10851665
    Abstract: Provided is an improved architecture for rotary kinetic fluid motors and pumps, in which working fluid gains or loses pressure by flowing through an alternating sequence of radial-flow impellers and radial-flow fluid vortices, the impellers and fluid vortices all rotating around a single axis and in a common direction at staggered speeds, each vortex being the product of rotating fluid that is flowing radially through a bladeless annular volume.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 13, 2018
    Date of Patent: December 1, 2020
