Abstract
A toroidal lift force engine is provided. Illustratively, the toroidal lift force engine operates in an enclosed environment without heat and/or expelling particles of any kind, utilizing asymmetric pressure distribution on lift turbine blades solely to generate thrust with the normal component of this lift force, while using the tangential component of this lift force to drive accessories, provide control to the fluid velocity, and/or provide motivation of the fluid's flow. The toroidal lift force engine may be utilized to generate thrust, heat and/or electricity for powering vehicles, homes, etc.
Claims23
An apparatus comprising:
- a lift turbine assembly operatively interconnected with an axial flow turbine assembly, the lift turbine assembly and the axial flow turbine assembly being housed within a container filled with a gas;
- the lift turbine assembly including:
- (a) an input stator having a first set of blades, the first set of blades causing a counter rotation flow in the gas;
- (b) a lift turbine having a second set of blades, the second set of blades generating lift force, the second set of blades rotating into the counter rotation flow of the gas;
- and
- the axial flow turbine assembly including:
- (a) an axial flow input stator having a third set of blades;
- (b) an axial flow turbine having a fourth set of blades, the fourth set of blades rotating into the counter rotation flow;
- wherein the container is sealed from an outside atmosphere.
