Two-way flow control device, associated systems and methods

A two-way flow control device, comprising:

• a housing defining a first opening interface and a second opening interface;
• a rotor for rotating within the housing, wherein the rotor defines a circumferential reference;
• a plurality of blades each mounted to the rotor, each blade controllable to be angled with respect to the circumferential reference in a range of positive and negative blade angles to generate respective positive and negative flows between the first opening interface and the second opening interface;
• a first plurality of stator vanes mounted to the housing between the blades and the first opening interface, each including a respective stator vane slope having a stator vane angle with respect to the circumferential reference which are collectively positive or negative angled;
• a second plurality of stator vanes mounted to the housing between the blades and the second opening interface, each including a respective stator vane slope having a stator vane angle with respect to the circumferential reference which are collectively opposite angled to the stator vane angles of the first plurality of stator vanes, the second plurality of stator vanes mounted to be circumferentially offset with respect to the first plurality of stator vanes, wherein the first and second plurality of stator vanes further guide both the positive and negative flows;
• a respective magnet mounted to each of the blades;
• a drive device configured to generate positive and negative current;
• and
• an electromagnet controllable by the current from the drive device and positioned to create a positive or negative magnetic field to magnetically interact with the magnets to correspondingly affect the respective blades to the corresponding positive or negative blade angle.
