Rotary jet, power generation systems and motors including the same, and methods of making and using the same

A method of converting energy using a rotary device, comprising:

• a) receiving a flowing fluid in an inlet of the rotary device, said inlet having a central axle or shaft therein and being in fluid communication with a plurality of radial arms of the rotary device;
• b) receiving said fluid in a manifold connected to the inlet, the manifold having the central axle or shaft therein and extending therefrom;
• c) distributing said fluid from said manifold to the plurality of radial arms, each of said plurality of radial arms having a nozzle at a distal end thereof, and each said nozzle having an opening facing away from a direction of rotation of said radial arms, wherein at least one of the inlet, the manifold and the plurality of radial arms are joined, fastened or secured to the central axle or shaft;
• d) expelling said fluid through said nozzles to rotate said inlet, the manifold and the plurality of radial arms around said central axle or shaft, said radial arms applying a rotational force to said central axle or shaft, wherein the inlet, the manifold and the plurality of radial arms have a substantially continuous and hollow space therein from an opening of the inlet to an end of each of the nozzles;
• and
• e) converting said rotational force into mechanical work or electrical energy.

A method of transporting a fluid using a rotary device, comprising:

• a) applying rotational force to a central axle or shaft of the rotary device, said central axle or shaft being operatively connected to a plurality of radial arms that are in fluid communication with and extend radially from a manifold having said central axle or shaft therein and extending therefrom, the manifold being in fluid communication with an inlet having said central axle or shaft therein, wherein at least one of the inlet, the manifold and the plurality of radial arms are joined, fastened or secured to the central axle or shaft, and the inlet, the manifold and the plurality of radial arms have a substantially continuous and hollow space therein from an opening of the inlet to an end of each of the nozzles;
• b) drawing said fluid into the inlet, said plurality of radial arms being configured to receive said flowing fluid from said manifold when said rotational force is applied to said central axle or shaft;
• and
• c) expelling said fluid through a nozzle at a distal end of each arm to rotate said inlet, said manifold and said plurality of radial arms around said central axle or shaft.
