Abstract

An apparatus for propulsion includes a main body, a fluid flow channel for fluid mass to circulate within a self-sealed apparatus, an air flow channel for air to circulate within a self-sealed apparatus and/or to the open environment, a fluid mass, a rotator having compartments to move the fluid mass centrifugally, a cover providing sealed containment for the apparatus and providing the means to remove the rotator from the main body, and a rotator shaft providing rotation to the rotator by motor. A preferred embodiment includes an apparatus with two or more fluid flow channels for fluid mass to circulate within a self-sealed apparatus. Another preferred embodiment includes an apparatus with two or more air flow channels for air to circulate within a self-sealed apparatus and/or to the open environment. And another preferred embodiment includes the main body that can be manufactured in one or more parts.

Claims

1. An apparatus for propulsion comprising:

a main body;

a fluid mass;

a rotator having compartments to move the fluid mass centrifugally;

a cover providing sealed containment for the apparatus and providing means to remove the rotator from the main body;

a fluid flow channel for fluid mass to circulate within a self-sealed apparatus;

an air flow channel for air to circulate within a self-sealed apparatus or to the open environment.

and a rotator shaft providing a mean for a motor or a gas engine to rotate the rotator;

2. An apparatus for propulsion as claimed in claim 1 wherein the main body and/or cover further comprising:

two or more entry openings and/or an inlet ports for fluid mass flow and air flow;

two or more exit openings and/or an outlet ports ports for fluid mass flow and air flow;

two or more fluid flow channels for fluid mass to circulate within a self-sealed apparatus;

and two or more air flow channels for air flow to circulate within a self-sealed apparatus and/or to the open environment;

3. An apparatus for propulsion as claimed in claim 2 wherein the said entry and exit openings and/or inlet and outlet ports can be:

Made in any numbers, sizes, shapes, and materials;

located in any location on the main body and/or cover to provide a loop back for fluid or air to circulate within the self-sealed apparatus;

and manipulated to control the fluid flow that result in increase or decrease in the net directional force.

4. An apparatus for propulsion as claimed in claim 2 wherein the said air flow channels can be:

made in any numbers, sizes, shapes and materials;

in plane with the main body and cover and/or out of plane with the main body and cover;

located in any location on the main body and/or cover to provide a loop back for air to circulate within the self-sealed apparatus or to the open environment;

incorporated one or more one-way valves in and/or between the air flow channel and the rotator to manipulate and control net directional force;

and incorporated one or more air pumps in and/or between the air flow channel and the rotator to manipulate and control air flow that result in a control and manipulation of net directional force.

5. An apparatus for propulsion as claimed in claim 2 wherein said the fluid flow channel can be:

made in any numbers, sizes, shapes and materials;

in plane with the main body and/or out of plane with the main body;

incorporated one or more one-way valves in and/or between the fluid channel and the rotator to manipulate and control net directional force;

and incorporated one or more fluid pumps in and/or between the fluid channel and the rotator to manipulate and control mass fluid flow that result in a control and manipulation of net directional force.

6. An apparatus for propulsion as claimed in claim 1 wherein said the fluid mass can be:

any type of liquid, such as water, mercury or oil, or any type of liquid mixed with metallic nano-particles;

different in density and/or viscosity in order to control fluid flow and output force.

7. An apparatus for propulsion as claimed in claim 1 wherein the rotator compartments'"'"' numbers, sizes, shapes, and materials depend on the density of the fluid, the fluid flow control, and/or the desired directional force.

8. An apparatus for propulsion as claimed in claim 1 wherein it is said to provide continuous directional force through its circulating fluid mass flow and circulating air flow.

9. An apparatus for propulsion as claimed in claim 1 wherein it is said to provide continuous directional force through its circulating fluid mass flow and open to environment air flow.

10. An apparatus for propulsion as claimed in claim 1 wherein it is said to provide necessary force to move a vehicle and to use that same vehicle on land or in water, air, or space.

11. An apparatus for propulsion as claimed in claim 1 wherein it is said to provide vehicle maneuverability in any three dimensions.

12. An apparatus for propulsion as claimed in claim 1 comprising one or more apparatuses to control desired direction.

13. An apparatus for propulsion as claim in claim 1 comprising pump(s) in and/or between the channels used to pressurize and control the fluid mass flow.

14. An apparatus for propulsion as claim in claim 1 comprising air pump(s) in and/or between the channel(s) used to pressurize and control the air flow resulting in the fluid mass flow.

15. An apparatus for propulsion as claimed in claim 1 comprising gears between the shaft and motor to control the torque and speed of the rotator in order to increase and/or decrease the directional output force.

16. An apparatus for propulsion as claimed in claim 1 wherein the main body can be manufactured in one or more parts.

17. An apparatus for propulsion as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a gas engine and/or a motor to provide rotational power directly or through gears or belts to the shaft that coinciding with the rotator.
