ABSTRACT:
A boundary layer propulsion apparatus for propulsion of a fluid is provided. The boundary layer apparatus has a casing with an inlet and outlet. Supported in the casing is a tubular-shaped flow conduit which defines an interior space, the conduit positioned for rotation about its longitudinal axis. Extending from the conduit are multiple generally planar,generally parallel, spaced-apart disks which form multiple open annular spaces between the disks. Multiple ports provide fluid communication from the interior space of the flow conduit to the spaces between the disks. A motor or prime mover rotates the flow conduit which then imparts movement of the fluid from the interior space of the flow conduit, through the ports, along the adjacent spaces between the disks and then out of the casing through the outlet. A boundary layer turbine apparatus of similar design is also presented.
