Claim 0:
1. A valve comprising:
a valve body;
a first cylindrical chamber within the valve body;
a first cylindrical spool within the first cylindrical chamber, the first cylindrical spool rotatable about a longitudinal axis between at least a first position and a second position, the longitudinal axis parallel to a longitudinal axis of the first cylindrical chamber, the first cylindrical spool comprising:
a first landing having a first thickness parallel to the longitudinal axis of the first cylindrical chamber; and
a first eccentric channel having a first length that extends around a first portion of an outer circumferential surface of the first landing and a first width less than the first thickness of the first landing;

a first inlet to the valve;
a first outlet from the valve, wherein:
in the first position, the first inlet and the first outlet are fluidly coupled by the first eccentric channel to allow a flow of a fluid circumferentially around the first landing from the first inlet to the first outlet within the valve; and
in the second position, at least one of the first inlet and the first outlet is obstructed by a second portion of the outer circumferential surface of the first landing to prevent the flow of the fluid from the first inlet to the first outlet within the valve.
