Centrifugal heat engine has chamber divided by concentric separator into two compartments that are sub-divided into sectors

摘要

The heat engine consists of a chamber (1) divided by a concentric separator (6) into two compartments (5.1, 5.2), each of which is divided by further separators (2.1, 2.2) into sectors (11). The assembled components allow for the circulation of a fluid between the two compartments through a gap (7) at the outer edge of the separator (6). Fluid entering the chamber (1) through an inlet (3) concentric with the separator (6) is compressed by centrifugal force and absorbs a quantity of heat before leaving the chamber through an outlet at the opposite end, causing the chamber to rotate as it expands.
