Claim:
A one piece bracket and/or spacer attached to a single disk or disks, said single disk or disks comprises a generally planar geometry, said bracket and/or spacer comprising a rotational axis said bracket and/or spacer comprises an axial geometry which is generally flat, tapered or contoured such that it completely spans the axial distance between two disks or acts as an inlet/outlet structure when adjacent to said single disk, is used with gaseous or liquid working fluid and implemented as a component of a disk assembly creating a distance between disks or shapes said inlet/outlet structure at the end of said disk assembly of a bladeless compressor, pump or turbine further comprising: geometry and function independent of attachment to a neighboring disk; and comprising a hub at or around the axis of rotation extending outward away from the axis of rotation and initially contouring in a non-linear fashion along flow chambers of the neighboring disk or disks, and defining multiple separate flow chambers between each two neighboring disks.
