The hydraulic friction heat generator has a cylindrical housing through which passes a motor driven drive shaft along the longitudinal axis. A plurality of discs is mounted on the shaft. Each disc has two or more generally radial slits extending radially inward from the disc periphery. Part of each disc adjacent a slit is angled or feathered outward from the plane of the disc, thereby to form a vane for pumping the hydraulic fluid axially. The discs are spaced from each other to provide free space between adjacent discs in which a high shear zone is created for heat generation by molecular collision in the hydraulic fluid. Heated hydraulic fluid is circulated through a heat exchanger by an impeller.
