14,782. Wolf, F. E. July 11. Elastic-fluid turbines.- Steam issuing from the nozzle g is guided in a spiral or approximately spiral path through the rotor and by friction with the walls of the chambers in the rotor imparts rotary motion to it. Fig. 2 shows a rotor for a reversible turbine comprising a number of concentric cylinders d having passages e arranged in staggered relation, through which the steam passes outwards. In a rotor for forward running only, the passages maybe arranged as shown in Fig. 3, so as to give a longer path to the steam. Fig. 4 shows a rotor comprising a number of surfaces m, between which are continuous paths for the steam.
