Abstract
An apparatus has a housing having a prismatic interior chamber with a base of a shape of two partially overlapping circles; a first rotor and a second rotor rotatably fit in the prismatic interior chamber. The first rotor and the second rotor are configured to rotate in the same direction. The first rotor and the second rotor are prismatic in shape and the base of the first rotor has a first circular arc and a second circular arc. The first circular arc and the second circular arc are concentric. The first circular arc has a smaller radius than the second circular arc. The first circular arc and the second circular arc have the same central angle. The apparatus may function as a compressor or a pump.
