Abstract

A propulsion machine comprising tesla turbine 1 with planar parallel discs 8 on common shaft 4 which, in use, propels fluid through outlet 24 into fluid flow channel 10. Through fluid flow channel 10 fluids reach narrowing 13 where the fluid is compressed and then reach combustion chamber 14 where the fluid is heated and expanded by means of plasma 21. From combustion channel 14 the fluid reaches inlet 25 of tesla pump 2 where it reaches rotating parallel discs 17 which rotate on the common shaft 4 in same direction as discs 8 of the tesla turbine 1. From tesla pump 2 the fluid exits through outlet 18 into nozzle 19 from where it finally exits at nozzle outlet 26. The device is driven by rotary power source 3 connected to common shaft 4.

Propulsion machine

Background art

Jet engines as propulsion machines are known for decades. There are different kind of jet engines but in general, beside ramjet engines, all of them uses same working principles - row of propellers at engine inlet with progressively denser blades and higher diameters used as compressor to compress compressible fluid (air usually) toward combustion chamber where fluid with mixture of fuel is ignited.

As mixture of compressed fluid and fuel is ignited, mixture explode than exits combusting chamber and hits secondary row of blades which are on the same axel of rotation as primary (compressor blades), which cause even stronger compression power of engine, and then exits the engine. Problems with this kind of engine are lots of noise, turbulence loses on blades and considerable size and bulkiness.

Statement of invention

This invention propose different solution. It combines machines (patent numbers US 1, 061, 206 and US 1, 061,142) invented and patented by great engineer and scientist Nikola Tesla in the beginning of 20^thcentury but with a twist, sort of speak.

In addition to Nikola Tesla pump and Nikola Tesla turbine which are placed on same rotation axel and rotate in same direction this invention also comprise fluid flow channel which connect outlet and inlet of these two devices, combustion chamber within fluid flow channel, and electric plasma igniters within combustion chamber.

This invention comprising following elements and works on following way. First device or apparatus, which have a role to intake fluid and eject it through its outlet and into fluid flow consists housing inside which are placed rounded and flat plates or discs, parallel to each other with some spacing among them and trough which centers of rotation is placed axel. This axel is connected with rotary power source (which can be some motor or electromotor). At lateral side of housing there is fluid inlet opening trough which fluid can reach inside of apparatus and rotating disks. Housing of apparatus also consists exhaust with opening trough which indrawn fluid is ejected into enclosed fluid flow channel.

Second device or apparatus, which have a role to intake fluid from fluid flow channel and eject it through its outlet consists housing in side which are placed rounded and flat plates or discs, parallel to each other with some spacing among them and trough which centers of rotation is placed axel. This axel is connected with rotation axel of first device i.e. apparatus. When fluid enters second device through its inlet, fluid reach inside of apparatus and rotating disks. At lateral side of housing there is fluid outlet opening trough which fluid is being ejected from second device and jet engine.

How these two devices works.

In case of first device as the discs rotate due to boundary layer effect and fluid viscosity they also rotate fluid within them which cause that fluid, which is at highest distance from rotation center and closest to discs rotation tangent, to be ejected, in tangent direction, trough exhausts due to centrifugal forces. This ejected fluid creates free space which is than fulfilled with fluid closer to rotation center and with fluid which enter apparatus outside housing creating chain reaction of in taking and ejecting fluid. As fluid follow the cyclical, spiral path through apparatus without any violent detachments which creates turbulence and cavitation this kind of propulsion mechanism is much more efficient than any propeller or blade driven propulsion mechanism especially on high frequency rotation rates.

In case of second device the same boundary layer and viscosity mechanism is involved but in opposite direction. As fluid reach discs due to boundary layer effect and viscosity, discs begins to rotate and as fluid reach the end of circular, spiral path among discs its leaving the second device through its lateral outlet.

How the propulsion machine works.

First device have a role to intake fluid and eject into fluid flow channel.

As the fluid enters fluid flow channel its reach narrowed part of the fluid flow channel where, if fluid is compressible (like air for example), fluid is being compressed after which fluid enters combustion chamber. In side combustion chamber are placed electrically charged poles, positive and negative, under very high voltage, among which, as electric energy is discharged, plasma is created which can reach extremely high temperatures. As compressed fluid reach combustion chamber, fluid is rapidly heated and expanded by hot plasma and as such fluid under additional pressure and energy exits combustion chamber and reach second device inlet. Through second device inlet expanded, heated and accelerated fluid starts to rotate discs which simultaneously rotate common axel which in the same time rotate discs of first device which whit even greater strength intake fluid which is then again ejected into fluid flow channel. When fluid passes rotating discs of second device fluid exits trough second device outlet, enters exit nozzle and exits trough nozzle outlet.

If fluid is not compressible i.e. fluid is in liquid and not gaseous state (like water for example) when reach combustion chamber under the intense plasma heat liquid fluid will turn into gas almost instantaneously with rapid expansion and then heated and accelerated also reach inlet and rotating discs of second device as is the case with gaseous fluids.

Detail description of invention

This invention comprising following elements and works on following way. First device i.e. apparatus 1, have a role to intake fluid through its inlet 7 and eject it through its outlet 24 into fluid flow channel 10 consists housing 6 in side which are placed rounded and flat plates or discs 8, parallel to each other with some spacing among them and trough which centers of rotation is placed axel 4. Among discs for greater strength and reduced vibration and possible discs warping can be placed spacers 9. Axel 4 is connected with rotary power source 3 (which can be some motor or electromotor).

Second device or apparatus 2, have a role to intake fluid from fluid flow channel 10 and eject it through its outlet 18 consists housing 15 in side which are placed rounded and flat plates or discs 17, parallel to each other with some spacing among them and trough which centers of rotation is placed axel 4. This rotational axel 4 is connected or is the same axel of first device i.e. apparatus 1. When fluid enters second device 2 through its inlet 25, fluid reach inside of apparatus 2 and rotating disks 17. At lateral side of housing 15 there is fluid outlet 18 opening trough which fluid is being ejected from second device 2 and propulsion machine overall.

How these two devices work.

In case of first device 1 as the mutually parallel discs 8 rotating due to boundary layer effect and fluid viscosity they also rotate fluid within them which cause that fluid, which is at highest distance from rotation center and closest to discs rotation tangent, to be ejected, in tangential direction, trough outlet 24 due to centrifugal forces. This ejected fluid creates free space which is than fulfilled with fluid closer to rotation center and with fluid which enter apparatus 1 outside housing 6 creating chain reaction of in taking and ejecting fluid. As fluid follow the cyclical, spiral path through apparatus 1 without any violent detachments which creates turbulence and cavitation this kind of propulsion mechanism is much more efficient than any propeller or blade driven propulsion mechanism especially on high frequency rotation rates.

In case of second device 2 the same boundary layer and viscosity mechanism is involved but in opposite direction. As fluid reach mutually parallel discs 17 due to boundary layer effect and viscosity, discs 17 begins to rotate and as fluid reach the end of circular, spiral path among discs 17, fluid leave the second device 2 through its lateral outlet 18.

How the propulsion machine in all works.

First device 1 have a role to intake fluid and eject into fluid flow channel 10.

As the fluid enters fluid flow channel 10 its reach narrowed part 13 of the fluid flow channel 10 where, if fluid is compressible (like air for example), fluid is being compressed after which fluid enters combustion chamber 14. In side combustion chamber 14 are placed electrically charged poles 22 and 23, positive 22 and negative 23, under very high voltage, among which, as electric energy is discharged plasma 21 is created which can reach extremely high temperatures. As compressed fluid reach combustion chamber 14, fluid is rapidly heated and expanded by hot plasma 21 after which such fluid under additional pressure and energy exits combustion chamber 14 and reach second device inlet 25. Through second device 2 inlet 25 expanded, heated and accelerated fluid starts to rotate discs 17 which simultaneously rotate common axel 4 which in the same time rotate discs 8 of first device 1 which whit even greater strength intake fluid which is then again ejected into fluid flow channel 10. When fluid passes rotating discs 17 of second device 2 fluid exits trough second device outlet 18, enters exit nozzle 19 and exits trough nozzle 19 outlet 26.

If fluid is not compressible i.e. fluid is in liquid and not gaseous state (like water for example) when reach combustion chamber 14 under the intense plasma 21 heat liquid fluid will turn into gas almost instantaneously with rapid expansion and then heated and accelerated also reach inlet 25 and rotating discs 17 of second device 2 as is the case with gaseous fluids.

On this way very efficient, compact and lower in noise propulsion machine is achieved.

This machine can be used as propulsion units at all kind of vehicles or as extremely powerful pump or blower.

There can be more than one device 1 with more than motor 3 and more than one inlets 24 converging into one or more than one fluid flow channels 10, with one or more than one combustion chambers 14 with poles 22 and 23, which than can reach more than one second apparatus 2 with more than one inlets 25. They will all share one common rotation axel 4 or be connected to it.
