Abstract:
A hot pressure medium operated engine comprising(a) a series of bladed rotors arranged adjacent each other in an axial direction,(1) a first group of said bladed rotors being rotated in a first direction by a hot pressure medium applied thereto, and(2) a second group of said bladed rotors whose bladed rotors alternate with the bladed rotor blades of the first group being rotated in a direction opposite to the first direction,(b) a first rigid connecting element connecting the bladed rotors of the first group for rotating in unison,(c) a second rigid connecting element connecting the bladed rotors of the second group for rotating in unison, and(c) a gearing connecting the first group of bladed rotors to the second group for reversing the first direction of rotation and for rotating the second group of bladed rotors in the opposite direction.
