ABSTRACT:
A rotary turbine employs rotors that are rotated primarily by the frictional forces of a pressurized medium flowing through a gap that separates the rotors from the stationary housing. The rotors are coupled to a source of pressurized medium that creates a medium flow through the gap. The frictional forces between the flowing medium and the rotors create a torque that rotates the rotors. A compressor is formed of a rotor assembly that includes first and second counter-rotating rotors having substantially smooth surfaces. The rotors are separated by a gap that allows the medium to flow therethrough, with the surface of at least one of the rotors contacting the medium, such that the flow of the medium through the gap is induced by surface friction between the contact surface and the medium.
