Method of compressing a gaseous medium, and an apparatus for carrying out the method. The compression occurs spontaneously, in as far as no energy needs to be supplied, and is provided by utilization of means effective velocity differences arising in the molecules/ atoms of a gaseous medium in spaces (1) in gaseous communication. The velocity differences are caused by differences in energy gain at molecular/atomic level, which are provided by differences in surface nature and/or by arranging minor spaces (4) in or at preferably defining walls (4, 5) of the spaces. The differences in energy gain are utilized such that the velocity of the molecules/atoms will be higher where they enter the spaces (1) than where they exit from said spaces. A pressure gradient thereby arises, causing a now of the gaseous medium from a low pressure to a higher pressure. The apparatus comprises parallel, perforated or porous plates or laminae (5, 7) enclosed preferably in a cylinder (6) at right-angles to the longitudinal direction thereof or of cavitites or pores incorporated in porous plates between and preferably adjacent the plates (5, 7). |
