Patent ID: 6983604

Claim:
A rotary thermodynamic pressure generator comprising: a combustion chamber with two annular spoilers each configured to simultaneously create a vortex ring having laminar flow from a portion of the turbulent premixed air/fuel mixture entering said combustion chamber so as to delay combustion of the portion of air/fuel mixture temporarily preserved in laminar flow; air intake means for providing sufficient air to create a lean air/fuel mixture for combustion within said combustion chamber, said air intake means being in fluid communication with said combustion chamber; fuel intake means associated with said air intake means and adapted for providing fuel for combustion within said combustion chamber; an oscillating valve positioned for controlling flow of said air/fuel mixture into said combustion chamber; at least one exhaust chamber in constant fluid communication with said combustion chamber; a rotor assembly having a perimeter edge and a plurality of blades depending in 360° array from said perimeter edge, with slots between adjacent ones of said blades and said blades being positioned between said combustion chamber and said exhaust chamber; an output shaft associated for rotation with said rotor assembly; at least one igniter communicating with said combustion chamber; and exhaust means in communication with said at least one exhaust chamber whereby as the remaining turbulent flow that is not peeled off by said two annular spoilers is ignited in said combustion chamber, it expands causing a pressure rise that kills said vortex rings, thereby releasing said laminar air/fuel mixture in said vortex rings to turbulence and supercharging the combustion reaction.
