Abstract: The invention relates to a radial compressor for producing a compressed gas flow, having a casing, an impeller which is arranged therein has a hub which carries blades. A ring is arranged in the flow duct concentrically with the hub, and is accommodated in a recess in the inner surface of the casing. The ring has wall slits on its inner surface. An annular gap is provided between that end face of the ring which is directed downstream and an end face of the recess which corresponds thereto and is directed upstream.

Abstract: A hydrodynamic propulsion device possessing an expansion chamber located downstream of a cross-sectional widening for the inflow of a medium which is to be expelled through a discharge nozzle. The propulsion device is constructed as a static propulsion mechanism without movable components, in that the gaseous operating medium is produced in the propulsion device through the reaction of a hydrofuel, such as NaK with water.
