ABSTRACT:
A rotor for an air motor is constructed with a central, milled, aluminum disc having a peripheral flange to which is integrally molded an outer ring of epoxy compound or a composite material, the outer ring defining the series of buckets arranged in an annular ring which are driven by an air nozzle to rotate the rotor. The rotor construction utilizes a combination of old and new materials in a configuration designed to avoid rotor breakup under runaway speed conditions and minimize the damage should such breakup occur.
