The present disclosure is of a jet pump system, and reverse power generation system and other desirable applications consisting of an impeller with inlet vortex vanes and outlet vortex vanes. The inlet vortex vane induces rotational movement on mass entering the impeller inlet. The outlet vortex vanes remove swirl from mass exiting the impeller outlet. Embodiments include a jet pump system involving a pulley and belt which can allow for obstruction free movement of mass. In another embodiment the impeller is connected via an electromagnetic connection. In another embodiment the impeller acts as a rim-driven generator of electrical power. In another embodiment the drive pulley is a centrifugal clutch or uses a chain sprocket or tandem jet system in series.
A jet pump system comprising:
The jet pump system of claim 3 wherein energy applied to the housing electromagnetically causes the impeller to rotate.
The jet pump system of claim t wherein the inlet vortex vanes and the lack of an impeller shaft removes a flow obstruction to improve efficiency and removes the source of a flow disturbance caused by the obstruction so that a smooth mass flow strikes the impeller at an optimum angle of attack to create more thrust for a given impeller size and shape to motor output power ratio.
A method of a jet pump system wherein the mass pumped by the jet pump system enters the jet pump system through inlet vortex vanes and then passes through an impeller and then passes through outlet vortex vanes to exit the jet pump system.
