Abstract:
1. A fluid amplifier comprising: an interaction chamber; an upstream conduit for issuing a power stream flow into the interaction chamber; a plurality of output channels located downstream of the interaction chamber; a first control stream channel in fluid communication with the interaction chamber for controllably directing a first control fluid flow into the interaction region; a second control stream channel in fluid communication with the interaction chamber for controllably directing a second control fluid flow into the interaction region; a filter interposed in the upstream conduit for filtering the power stream, wherein an interior surface of the upstream conduit downstream from the filter is sealed to impede debris from being introduced to the power stream downstream from the filter; and, an access means to the upstream conduit for removing debris from the filter, wherein the access means is spaced from the plurality of output channels.
