<p>An impulse based fluid jet propulsion system comprises an intake housing with a variable area intake that acts as a diffuser at high speeds. The intake then leads into an impeller housing of increased diameter. A discharge nozzle with integral stators that redirect the high speed efflux from the impeller axially is provided at the outlet of the system. An impulse based fluid jet propulsion system with means for spinning the incoming fluid within an expanding circular housing to provide a pumping effort for the fluid is also disclosed. An impulse based fluid jet propulsion system with means for centrifugally pressing fluid onto a circular housing, an impulse based fluid jet propulsion system with a fixed area intake and an impulse based fluid jet propulsion system where engine generated heat and exhaust heat is added to the working fluid are also disclosed.</p> |
