Hydro propulsion machine with hollow rotor - has stepped recesses in rotor with opening in stator to allow use of water power

摘要

The machine has a casing (1) which forms a circular stator open over a third (1c) of its circumference. A rotor guide channel (2) is formed over the closed part of the stator. A hollow circular rotor (3) revolves in this. The rotor is attached to a disc (4) which is mounted on the drive shaft (5). The rotor has stepped recesses which form driving surfaces for water. The side surface of each recess has a sealing strip (7) which runs on the face of the channel (2). Water entering from the open side of the casing impinges on the sides (3a) of the surfaces and rotates the rotor (3).
