Abstract

An actuating device comprises a housing is disclosed. The housing comprises an inlet at one end to receive a flow of fluid and an outlet disposed at an opposite end to discharge the flow of fluid. The housing comprises a fluid flow director and a rotating element. The fluid flow director is configured to be coupled to one end of the inlet. The fluid flow director is configured to direct incoming fluid flow to the rotating element. The rotating element is disposed within the housing. The rotating element is configured to rotate relative to the fluid flow director in order to generate pressure within the housing. Further, the housing comprises at least one aperture defined either towards an upper side or a lower side of the rotating element. The at least one aperture is employed to receive the pressure generated by the rotation of the rotating element.

Dependent claims

An actuating device comprises:

a housing comprising:
an inlet to receive a flow of fluid into the housing;
an outlet to discharge the flow of the fluid from the housing;
a fluid flow director and a rotating element, wherein:
the rotating element comprises a rotating body and a shaft wherein, the rotating body defines an air/hydrofoil shape;
the fluid flow director is disposed towards the inlet for creating a vortex flow and directing the fluid towards the rotating body, wherein the fluid flow director comprises two or more non-rotational blades with respect to a longitudinal central axis of the housing;
and
the rotating element is disposed within the housing, operable to rotate as a result of the fluid directed from the fluid flow director towards the rotating body, wherein rotation of the rotating body causes pressure fluctuation within the housing;
and
a first aperture exposed to the rotating body of the rotating element, wherein the pressure fluctuation caused by the rotation of the rotating body is transmitted to the first aperture.
