Variable flow rate system for hydrokinetic amplifier

In a hydrokinetic amplifier having a primary liquid input formed into a primary liquid jet surrounded by a motivating vapor that transfers vapor momentum to said primary liquid jet and accelerates said primary liquid jet through a minimum cross-sectional area, the improvement comprising:

• a. a secondary fluid inlet arranged beyond said minimum cross-sectional area to merge a secondary fluid with said primary liquid jet in a diffuser arranged beyond said secondary fluid inlet;
• b. a load with a variable resistance to fluid flow, said load being arranged to receive the output from said diffuser so that without varying the inflow rates of said primary liquid jet and said motivating vapor, and without varying the flow rate of said primary liquid jet through said minimum cross-sectional area, the outflow rate from said diffuser to said load varies inversely with said fluid flow resistance of said load;
• and
• c. the product of the pressure and volume of the combined primary and secondary flows in said diffuser exceeds the product of the pressure and volume of said primary liquid jet through said minimum cross-sectional area.
