Rotor having a plurality of spiral pathways to pass liquid or gas therethrough to increase power thereof

A rotor comprising:

• an outer disk having an open interior providing an inner edge having a plurality of teeth formed therein;
• an inner disk located within the open interior of the outer disk, wherein the inner disk includes a receptacle centrally located, an outer edge, and a plurality of spiral pathways traversing within the inner disk from the receptacle to the outer edge, wherein the receptacle, the outer edge and the plurality of spiral pathways are coplanar, wherein the receptacle includes an outer surface, wherein the outer edge has a first diameter and the outer surface of the receptacle has a second diameter that is substantially smaller than the first diameter, wherein the outer surface of the receptacle includes a corresponding plurality of receptacle openings and the outer edge includes a corresponding plurality of edge openings, and wherein each of the plurality of spiral pathways includes a first side connecting to a corresponding one of the plurality of receptacle openings and a second side connecting to a corresponding one of the plurality of edge openings;
• and
• a plurality of nozzles located in the plurality of edge openings, wherein
• the receptacle is configured to receive a liquid or a gas and provide the liquid or the gas to the plurality of spiral pathways via the plurality of receptacle openings,
• the plurality of spiral pathways are configured to pass the liquid or the gas therethrough and provide the liquid or the gas to the plurality of nozzles,
• the plurality of nozzles are configured to expel the liquid or the gas as a jet of pressurized liquid or gas in a direction to contact a subset of the plurality of teeth, and
• the liquid or the gas traversing the plurality of spiral pathways and the jet of pressurized liquid or gas contacting the subset of the plurality of teeth cause the rotor to rotate.

A system comprising

• a shaft;
• a hub mounted to the shaft, wherein the hub includes a pathway to enable a liquid or a gas to flow therethrough;
• and
• a rotor mounted to the hub, wherein the rotor includes:
• an outer disk having an open interior and an inner edge having a plurality of teeth formed therein;
• an inner disk located within the open interior of the outer disk, wherein the inner disk includes a receptacle centrally located, an outer edge, and a plurality of spiral pathways traversing within the inner disk from the receptacle to the outer edge, wherein the receptacle, the outer edge and the plurality of spiral pathways are coplanar, wherein the receptacle includes an outer surface, wherein the outer edge has a first diameter and the outer surface of the receptacle has a second diameter that is substantially smaller than the first diameter, wherein the outer surface of the receptacle includes a plurality of receptacle openings and the outer edge includes a corresponding plurality of edge openings, and wherein the plurality of spiral pathways connect corresponding ones of the plurality of receptacle openings to the corresponding ones of the plurality of edge openings;
• and
• a plurality of nozzles located in the plurality of edge openings;
• wherein the liquid or the gas traverses the pathway to the receptacle, enters the plurality of spiral pathways via the plurality of receptacle openings, traverses the plurality of spiral pathways and is expelled from the plurality of nozzles as a jet of pressurized liquid or gas in a direction to contact a subset of the plurality of teeth, and wherein the liquid or the gas traversing the plurality of spiral pathways and the jet of pressurized liquid or gas contacting the subset of the plurality of teeth cause the rotor to rotate, and wherein rotation of the rotor causes rotation of the shaft.
