A method and apparatus for the pressurizing of fluids within a rotating rotor wherein a fluid enters the rotor near center, is first pressurized by centrifugal force with initial acceleration and is then further accelerated and pressurized within a circular cavity in a free vortex. The fluid then leaves the circular cavity via openings at periphery and is passed inwardly toward rotor center via passages, and discharged via opening near rotor center. Fluids may be gases or liquids. The device can be used either as a pump, a compressor, or a turbine as desired.
