1. A floating chamber machine, comprising:
- a hollow chamber;
a first support yoke including a fluid passage therethrough and adapted to support said hollow chamber and allow rotational movement thereof about a first axis;
a first yoke support adapted to support said first support yoke and allow rotational movement thereof about and lineal movement along a second axis perpendicular to said first axis;
a second support yoke including a fluid passage therethrough and adapted to support said hollow chamber and allow rotational movement thereof about a third axis bisecting the common intersection of said first and second axes;
a second yoke support adapted to support said second yoke and allow rotational movement thereof about a fourth axis perpendicular to said third axis;
a first divider rigidly affixed to said first support yoke and adapted to fit within said hollow chamber and bisect said hollow chamber along said first axis;
a split divider comprised of two halves, each rigidly affixed to the interior of said hollow chamber on opposite sides of said first divider and adapted to bisect said hollow chamber along said third axis;
first fluid port means adapted to permit fluid flow between said hollow chamber and said first support yoke as a function of angular position therebetween about said first axis; and
second gas port means adapted to permit gas flow between said hollow chamber and said second support yoke as a function of the angular position therebetween about said third axis.
