A 3-D image should help enlighten. I am currently building a working prototype. The idea stemmed from a combination of Tesla's famed bladeless
turbine/pump & the Sterling engine. As does the bladeless turbine/pump, it works off the principle of the boundary layer effect. The fluid flowing
nearest the edge of the rotors has a greater velocity relative to the fluid flow elsewhere in the cycle. Per Bernoulli's principle, the greater the
velocity of a fluid, the lower its pressure (& likewise, temperature) relative to the fluid around it. The faster the rotors rotate, the colder the
fluid will be. It is started by initially applying an outside force - electricity - to the 3 phase motors attached to the 'pump' rotors. The
motors I am currently testing with are high-efficiency RC airplane racing motors rated for 60,000 rpm. Once the fluid flow is 'ignited', inertia is
maintained via the mass of the rotor assemblies (flywheels). At this point the motors are generating power; as the generators absorb power from the
flywheels, thermal heat energy is extracted from the ambient air medium within the vortices and converted into rotational kinetic energy back into the
flywheels.
Amount of energy extractable is dependent upon rotor diameter, rotational velocity & rate of thermal conductivity of fluid medium. I am going to do
some tests with highly saturated air in the vortices surrounded by very dry air. Spinning the highly saturated air (basically water), as the water
accelerates near the edge of the rotors, I think it may 'flash evaporate', causing a very high rate of thermal conductivity within the vortices.
These are 3.5" rotors - to give you an idea, at 60,000 rpm the fluid will have a velocity of around 625 mph at its fastest points in its cycle. VERY
cold relative to motionless air around it.
This is the real deal, I assure you. There may be some hurdles to get past during initial testing; however, the core discovery regarding the nature
of the vortices is spot on. I am referring to this prototype as a macroscopic model of the Cosmological Constant. Hint: The faster the rotor
pairings rotate, the nearer they will naturally attract to their opposing rotor pairings - thereby causing the shape of the vortices to distort into a
collapsing ellipse.
