PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a self-rotating fluidic traverse actuator system and methods that use a fluidic source to provide both a flow actuation and a mechanism for rotating an inner cylinder via a turbine instead of an electric motor.SOLUTION: A system and methods for a self-rotating fluidic traverse actuator are presented. A turbine rotates in response to a fluid flow, and/or an outer cylinder with a longitudinal slot that ejects the fluid flow. An inner cylinder rotates inside the outer cylinder in response to a rotation of the turbine, and at least one helical slot of the inner cylinder ejects the fluid flow into the longitudinal slot. |
