Abstract: An unconventional approach to propulsion provided by this invention incorporates 3 specific features making it possible to develop and maintain pressure at the intake nozzle upstream of the impeller to provide a second component to the overall propulsive effort thus converting the conventional jet drive into ramjet drive. At high speeds the second component becomes the prominent thrust, thus reducing the overall power demand to at high speeds to a third.

Abstract: A unique waste processing method provides a simple solution to complex mix of waste streams using a molten sodium/potassium bath to thermalize waste. The process offers sterilization, volumetric reduction, energy or oil recovery, and complete molecular fragmentation of hazardous chemicals.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved apparatus used for moving gases or air in a single stage for the purposes of either causing a vacuum upstream as in vacuum pumps or high-pressure downstream as in industrial blowers, turbochargers for automotive engines, ducted fan propulsion devices, and compressors for gas turbines. In this improved concept, two matching sets of rotor vanes are paired, rotating in the same direction, without a stator between them, having continuous and progressive pitch angles, the same number of blades, and designed to complement each other. Therefore, the turbo apparatus can yield extreme high-pressure ratios at high flow rates.
