<p>A counter-rotating fluid-propelling apparatus (800) comprises at least two identical interlocking counter-rotating bodies (801, 802) having a number of rectangular flat panels (811-814), each panel having planar surfaces, and each body having an axis of rotation that passes lengthwise through the middle of the body such that the axis is parallel to and equidistant from the longer edges of the panels. The operation of the apparatus begins with the bodies having a panel from each body abutting against each other. The bodies then counter-rotate with respect to each other driven by a motor (860), such that the panels separate while the vertices between panels remain in contact. This counter-rotating operation causes a displacement of ambient fluid residing beneath the apparatus in a downward motion due to the coming together of panels, and displacement of ambient fluid above the apparatus downward into a vacuum formed due to the separation of panels.</p> |
