Classification: CPC F  B | IPC B  F

Claim 16:
17. A pump system to pressurize a fluid within a closed loop transport bus, the pump system comprising:
means for rotating a driver wheel, wherein the means for rotating is to exert a first torque on the driver wheel, and wherein the means for rotating is to generate a first angular velocity of the driver wheel based on the first torque;
means for accelerating a flow rate of the fluid, wherein the means for accelerating is to rotate an impeller shaft at a second angular velocity based on a second torque;
means for converting the first torque of the driver wheel into the second torque of a follower wheel, wherein the means for converting is to generate the second angular velocity of the follower wheel based on the second torque; and
means for connecting at least one of the follower wheel to the impeller shaft or the driver wheel to a rotor shaft, wherein the means for connecting is to hermetically seal a portion of the pump system from the fluid.
