Abstract: An eddy pump impeller includes a hub and a plurality of blades. The hub has a rear surface, and tapers from the rear surface to a front end. The plurality of blades extend from the hub. Each of the plurality of blades has an outer surface essentially parallel to the rotational axis of the hub, inversely tapering from the hub, such that each of the plurality of blades has a width adjacent the hub that is less than a width adjacent the outer surface, and has a front surface tapering in height, such that the plurality of blades is configured to cause an eddy current and cause a fluid stream to be forced to an outside of the impeller.

Abstract: A pump rotor includes a hub, a back plate and a plurality of blades extending from the hub and disposed on the back plate. Each of the plurality of blades has an outer surface essentially parallel to a rotational axis of the hub, and a first end adjacent the hub and a second end distal from the hub, the first end having a height from the planar surface that is less than a height from the planar surface of the second end. The plurality of blades is configured to cause a synchronized central column of flow.

Abstract: An eddy pump impeller includes a hub having a planar rear surface, the hub tapering from the planar rear surface to a conical front end, and a plurality of blades extending from the hub. Each of the plurality of blades has an outer surface essentially parallel to a rotational axis of the hub, inversely tapers from the hub, and has a front surface tapering in height from the front conical end, such that the plurality of blades is configured to cause an eddy current and cause a fluid stream to be forced to the outside of the impeller.
