System and method for providing compliant rotating seals

摘要

A system for providing compliant rotating seals (100) including a rotating portion (102) that has a plurality of teeth (104) extending radially from it, and a stationary portion (106) that has a plurality of bristles (108) extending radially from it. The plurality of teeth (104) rotatively engage the plurality of bristles (108) creating a tortuous path between them that resists a leakage of gas or fluid through them.
