ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for generating power by compressing and expanding a first fluid in inward and outward extending first fluid passages within a centrifuge type rotating rotor. In a closed form of the turbine, heat is supplied to the first fluid by circulating a second fluid in a heat exchanger within the rotor, and heat is removed from from the first fluid by circulating a third fluid through another heat exchanger. A regenerator type heat exchanger is provided for removing heat from the first fluid during compression and adding heat into said first fluid during expansion; thus, heat is taken from one stream of the first fluid and the same heat is added into another stream of of the first fluid within the rotor. Alternately, two rotors may be used, with a second rotor serving as the power output rotor. Also, in an open form, the cooling heat exchanger may be deleted, with the first fluid entering from outside of the rotor and being discharged to outside said rotor.
