ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for generating power by passing a motivating fluid from a higher energy level to a lower energy level by compressing said fluid within a centrifuge type first rotor and discharging said fluid via nozzles near the first rotor periphery forwardly in the direction of rotation to a second rotor which is an inward flow type reaction turbine, then passing said fluid through a regeneration type heat exchanger to transfer heat from the inward bound fluid into outward bound fluid, after which the fluid is cooled in a heat exchanger to its original temperature and is passed outward again thus completing its cycle. Heat is added to said fluid near the periphery of the second rotor, or the heat may be added near the periphery of the first rotor, or both. Additionally, the fluid may be supplied to the unit from outside source, and returned to such outside source, and the cooling thus may be eliminated from the unit. Further, the entering fluid from outside source may be at an elevated pressure. Fluids used may be gaseous, which is normal for a closed type unit, and may be also liquids at entry for the open type unit.
