Patent ID: 11111852

Abstract:
A rotary disk, useful for transferring kinetic energy or generating torque or electricity, is disclosed. The rotary disk includes a housing enclosing a manifold, an axle or shaft to which the housing is joined or fixed, conduits or passages within and/or extending from the housing, combustion chambers at distal ends of the conduits or passages and external to the housing, nozzles at distal ends of the combustion chambers, and a compressor in or upstream from the manifold. The conduits or passages are joined or fixed to the housing, and carry an oxygen-containing gas from the manifold to the nozzles. The nozzles direct the heated oxygen-containing gas and combustion gases in a predetermined direction. The compressor includes fins or blades joined or fixed to the axle or shaft, or to a different, colinear axle or shaft. The compressor is configured to increase a pressure of the oxygen-containing gas at entrances of the conduits or passages.
