Abstract
An impeller for a disc pump has a drive disc with a connector for joining to a shaft of the disc pump, a driven disc affixed to the drive disc so as to define a space therebetween, and a plurality of wing vanes formed in the face of at least one of the drive disc and the driven disc. The drive disc has a face facing a face of the driven disc. The drive disc extends in generally parallel planar relationship to the driven disc. The plurality of wing vanes radiate across the face toward an outer diameter of one of the drive disc and the driven disc. Each of the plurality of wing vanes has a portion extending outwardly beyond the outer diameter of the drive disc and the driven disc.
