Abstract:
A fluid driven prime mover system (20) comprising, a pressure element (30) that combines a first suction element (40) which includes a convergent divergent nozzle system with a convergent divergent nozzle (42), that creates a lower pressure zone (44) which is communicated to a first desired point, with a first head element that includes at least a diffuser nozzle system (32) which converts fluid flow energy into a high pressure head such that said high pressure head is directed towards a second desired point. A first channel element (50) communicates the first desired point to an outlet (62) of a positive displacement fluid motor (60) and a second channel element (52) directs the second desired point to an inlet (64) of the positive displacement fluid motor (60) such that said positive displacement fluid motor (60) is motored by a fluid flow throughput caused by a pressure differential at said inlet (64) and said outlet (62) that results in the positive displacement fluid motor (60) working as a drive unit with power or torque take off.
Abstract:
A multiple vane kinetic system that produces variation in enclosed volumes between pairs of radial vane sets independent of each other and coaxial with a central axis within a annular casing that encapsulates the vane sets and operates in a sequence where the vane sets function as rotating links of the mechanism for a pellicular period, which is preceeded and succeeded by another period where either vane sets successively alternate between being a fixed link and a rotating link of the mechanism and during the former period the volumes between vanes remain constant as long as the vane sets have equal angular velocities, otherwise varies at rates proportional to differing angular velocities. The two time periods are controlled by timing devices actuating the vane sets to be coupled and decoupled with a power shaft and the variation in length of the two time periods makes roto-dynamic variable displacement machine.

Abstract:
A system of placement and packaging of fluid and energy exchange accessories in a fluid handling machine where the rotor that forms the moving link and stator that forms the fixed link and stator encases the rotor and the volume between rotor and stator are communicated with volume which is external to the encased volume for exchange of fluids and energy by fluid and energy exchange accessories that are fitted at predetermined points and fluid exchange accessories include intake-exhaust port, intake-exhaust valve and the energy exchange accessories include fluid injecting device, spark and energy addition device, energy removal device, and pressure relief valve, such that these exchange accessories and their actuators fitted on rotor and their actuation is timed by reference of rotor position with respect to stator or other rotor when multiple rotors are used and where the fluid and energy are transmitted through pathways within the rotor.
Abstract:
A rotary seal (10) for a fluid handling machine comprising first circular body (12) with circumferential surface (28) and second circular body (16) with similar surface (27), such that the bodies when coaxially assembled, the circumferential surface (28) and similar surface (27) mate with each other forming a sealing surface contact. An internal end face (33) of rotary seal (10) is exposed to fluids with an inclination, such that the fluid pressure on internal end face (33) adds to contact force at sealing contact surface. The first circular body (12) is continuous and second circular body (16) with a split (17) has a spring characteristic such that two ends formed by the split (17), force away from each other, hence exerting a radial force on circumferential surface when assembled with first circular body (12) and compensating for circumferential wear during operation. The second circular body (16) exerts combination of axial, radial and tangential forces on circumferential surface (28) which results in force closure at sealing surface contact.
