Abstract:
A system having a variable diameter impeller device that is operable for reducing an energy consumption of a rotating fluid or gas pump by increasing said impeller diameter as a speed of said rotating fluid or gas pump increases and decreasing the impeller diameter as the speed decreases. An extendable vane mechanism is configured to move along an elongated curved or sloping slot, said movement along the elongated curved or sloping slot is operable for increasing and decreasing a diameter of the impeller device. A spring mechanism having a first end and a second end extends and retracts to dynamically increase or decrease a diameter of the impeller device.

Claim (Index 15):
A system consisting of:\n means for reducing an energy consumption of a centrifugal pump by increasing a diameter of said energy consumption reducing means as a speed of a fluid flow from said centrifugal pump increases and decreasing said diameter as the speed of said fluid flow decreases; means for enclosing said energy consumption reducing means, wherein said enclosing means surrounds said energy consumption reducing means, in which said enclosing means includes means for engaging a motor driven shaft, means for securing said motor driven shaft in a predetermined orientation, and means for equalizing fluid pressure; means for increasing or decreasing a diameter of said energy consumption reducing means; means for connecting said diameter increasing or extending means to said enclosing means; means for providing a path for said diameter increasing or extending means to move, wherein a movement of said diameter increasing or extending means is operable for increasing and decreasing a diameter of said impeller device; means for extending and retracting said diameter increasing or extending means; and means for allowing a portion of said fluid to pass while substantially limiting additional restriction on fluid flow.
