ABSTRACT:
Vertically starting and landing centrifugal toric ring shape, transport capsules for movement in any desired medium. The capsules consist of circular ring shells, arranged above or inside each other, and rotating concentrically at a distance around a central axis. Each circular ring shell consists of compressor blades (1) and turbine blades (2), arranged side-by-side on a circular ring and connected to each other by means of separator rings (4) and bearing rings, and which have one or several energy aggregates which drive the circular ring shells, so that the surrounding medium is taken up by the circular ring shells, accelerated and again expelled through nozzles (10), whereby the centrifugal ring itself is held rotationally stable with respect to the center axis by an electronically controlled braking device (14) on the counter-running shells or by means of nozzles or through a projecting torque support.
