ABSTRACT:
The main part of this engine is a rotor (20), driven by circular and tangential fluid flow. Coupled with a counter rotator (30) and stator (40), more work is extracted from the fluid flowing out of the rotor. In application as a gas burning engine, a compressor section is added and is attached to the rotor and counter rotator. Because of the circular and tangential direction of fluid flow, the bulk of the energy of the fluid is converted to rotation and torque, resulting in minimum thrust being generated directly by the engine; however, the rotation and torque produced by the engine could be used to produce thrust.
