hello.very interesting topic.
However I need to draw your attention on some problems I point out in the design as is:
1. the convertor is a closed loop system. As such I have checked what is the resultant pull force of such a device running at let say 10,000 RPM (see further the RPM problems) and as such I found about no localized centrifugal force. Mainly for two reasons:
a. where the wheel is rendered tight by the calliper, the water beeing not compressible the pressure will immediately shoot up to a value corresponding to the enormous centrifugal force which apply to the axialy immobilised sheet of water (inside the wheel). Such pressure apply on the U shaped calliper as whell as on the tip of the wheel. As such the centrifugal force on the wheel axle is exactly balanced by an opposed force of support on the calliper trough the film of water (at 10.000 RPM the water pressure reach more than 200 KG/square centimeter). So no resulting pull in the way of the calliper.
b.For the part of the wheel (which at 10,000 RPM will empty over more than a 30 degre angular displacment at least) just leaving the calliper with a full load of water, the same water suddenly freed will leave the wheel with an axial speed of up to 400 mile/hour ( like the weight suddenly freed when the weight thrower free the rope) Such water will impact the casing of the converter and cause a force there which will compensate the centifugal force pull remaining on the wheel ( just after the calliper) before it empty itself.
2. I think that a RPM of 2000-5000 is more appropriated to a device working with water .
a.The turbines running at 200.000 RPM are very small in diameter and work with gazes. Water beeing incompressible you get very quickly cavitation problems which will destroy the fluid flowing mechanism and all the mechanical parts of the device.
b.another limitation for the rpm is the flow of water necessary.IN your calculated example with 200,000 RPM have you noticed that the flow of water from the sump necessary to feed the converter is per minute : 200,000 time (1 liter in calliper plus 1 liter in the remaining of the (not calliper covered wheel) equal 200 tons of water per minute OR 3.3 cubic meter per second. This is impossible.
c. over a certain RPM the wheels will have no time to fill (in the calliper section) and empty during one revolution because of water inertia.
d.Any cluster of particule of water accelerated by the centrifugal force when leaving the wheel above 20,000 RPM will destroy the parts as their velocity is higher than the one of a bullet.

- What is the top speed a ship with this technology can archive?
- If the ship is able to make interplanetary trips, how does it generates the oxygen we need inside its cabin?
- What would protect us inside the ship, from all the different radiations, extreme temperatures, etc, that we should encounter during a spacial trip?
I'm keeping an eye on this threat and the other one, I cant wait to receive more information about all this. Take care friend!

Yes the 1st book has been completed but in Chinese there are some examples from the book written by my Wife who is a writer.

I am attempting to write a book right now in English, with her help, as I am no writer myself.
She is a Journalist by profession.
I will be publishing this through the net and making available as an electronic book first.edit on 30-1-2012 by The Matrix Traveller because: Syntax

But You can see the pictures (many) and read them. LOL. Take a look..
Any release date yet for your english version?

Not yet.
I am in the process now, but so much to squeeze in before my last day on Earth.
The OL monkey is failing... LOL.
Its near time to Leave I believe.... LOL.
Hopefully I get a year or if possible 2 years left.
If I understand correctly about the drive plates, doesnt the spinning motion of the water/plates only afford sideways propolsion? Who does the craft move vertically?
If you dont mind me asking...... What makes you think you only have 1 or 2 years left?
old age?.....disease?......ascension?
