Patent ID: 8678749

Claim:
A centrifugal reverse flow disk turbine for power generation, the centrifugal reverse flow disk turbine comprising: a) a turbine shaft; b) a disk rotor disposed on said turbine shaft; c) a housing, enclosing said turbine shaft and said disk rotor, bearings, seal devices, and at least one jet nozzle means; d) a plurality of channels radially engraved in the disk rotor for transporting a working fluid from entering ports, placed axially near and off said turbine shaft; e) the plurality of channels each comprising two curvatures, a first curvature having a large curvature radius, concaved pertinent to a rotational direction of said rotor and extending from the entering port to a middle of its flow path, and a second curvature having a small curvature radius, convexed pertinent to the rotational direction of said rotor and extending from the middle of the flow path to a periphery of said rotor; and f) a bucket attached to each of the plurality of channels, directing against said jet nozzle means disposed on said housing, thereby deriving an impinging counter supersonic flow.
