Abstract:
An energy converting apparatus comprising:a rotating force generator for generating a rotating force in accordance with electrical energy applied thereto; compression means for compressing the mass of a fluid to a maximum compression degree in accordance with said rotating force applied thereto, thereby converting rotating energy, corresponding to said rotating force, into kinetic energy of said fluid; and impulse wave converting means comprising one or more converging-diverging nozzles connected to one another in series, said impulse wave converting means serving to generate vertical impulse waves from said compressed fluid passing through said converging-diverging nozzles, thereby converting said kinetic energy of said fluid into heat energy, each of said converging-diverging nozzles comprising a Laval nozzle having (a) a first uniform diameter portion having a diameter equal to a diameter of an outlet of said compression means, (b) a first taper portion extending from said first uniform diameter portion and having a gradually decreasing diameter, (c) a second taper portion extending from said first taper portion and having a gradually increasing diameter, and (d) a second uniform diameter portion extending from said second taper portion and having a diameter equal to said diameter of said outlet of said compression means.
