<p>A fluid transmission apparatus (10, 110, 200) including an axially rotatable member (12, 114, 201) and a stationary member (14, 112, 205). The apparatus includes fluid inlets (16, 116, 206) and fluid outlets (18, 118, 207) and associated axially rotatable fluid flow interrupters (24, 124, 202). In use fluid flows from each inlet to the corresponding outlet whilst the rotatable member rotates relative to the stationary member. Vanes (22, 122, 204) are provided to form seals in chambers (36, 136, 209) for efficient transmission of fluid. The fluid transmission apparatus (10, 110, 200) may be configured to act as a pump or as a motor. The apparatus has other uses such as a fluid motor or flow control unit.</p> |
