FIG. 3 illus trates the stack of starWheels 400 as having the vanes 404 of the star Wheels 400 staggered Within the stack, such that each star Wheel 400 has its vanes 404 vertically bounded by the spaces betWeen the vanes 404 of the adjacent star Wheel(s) 400 (and conversely, each star Wheel 400 has the spaces betWeen its vanes 404 vertically bounded by the vane(s) 404 oftheadjacentstarWheels400).As aresult,?uidcannot?oW vertically betWeen adjacently stacked star Wheels 400 unless apertures 412 are de?ned in the vanes 404, With the apertures 412 extending betWeen the opposing Wheel faces 406.

The starWheels 400 need not have vanes 404 Which are oriented solely in radial directions With respect to the Wheelbore410(i.e.,in“paddleWheel”fashion),andvanes 404 may be angled tangentially as Well as radially (i.e., in “pinWheel” fashion), With alvanes 404 angled inclockWise orcounterclockwisedirections,tohelpimpartthestarWheels 400Withpreferentialdirectionsofspin(atleastatstartup). Also looking to FIG. 3, the rotor discs 500 each have opposingdiscfaces502axiallyboundingeachrotordisc500, an outer disc circumference 504 radially bounding the disc faces 502, and a disc bore 506 centrally de?ned in (and extendingbetWeen)thediscfaces502forreceivingtheshaft 312.Thedisccircumference504ispreferablysiZedtobe complementarily received Within the block bore 106/206 of one oftheblocks 100/200 sothatarotordisc500 may rotate Within a block bore 106/206 With the disc circumference 504 closely spaced adjacent the Wall bounding the block bore 106/206.Oneormoredisc?uidpassages508arethensitu ated betWeen the disc bore 506 and the disc circumference 504 to extend betWeen the opposing disc faces 502, thereby alloWing ?uid ?oW betWeen the disc faces 502. As a result, When rotor discs 500 are stacked in spaced relation and ?uid isdirectedaxiallythroughthedisc?uidpassages508,With the ?uid being able to ?oW radially outWardly betWeen the spaced discs 500 (as it can in the accompanying draWings, WhereinradiallyoutWardly?oWing?uidmay exittheducts 214 in the ?uid intake/outlet blocks 200), the rotor discs 500 Willbedrivenbythe?uidtorotateoWingtosurfaceadhesion/ boundarylayer?oW effects(aphenomenonnotedbyNikola Tesla, and utiliZed to similar effect in Tesla’s U.S. Pat.

Each spacer 314 has opposing spacer faces 316 Which axially bound each spacer 314, an outer spacercircumference318radiallyboundingthespacerfaces 316, and a spacer bore 320 extending betWeen the spacer faces316Whereintheshaft312maybereceived.Thespacer circumference 318 is preferably siZed With a radius less than the radius betWeen the disc bore 506 and the disc ?uid pas sages508, sothataspacer314,When situatedontheshaft312 betWeen a pair of rotor discs 500, Will not block ?uid ?oW betWeenthedisc?uidpassages508ofthespaceddiscs500.

To illustrate, in the arrangement of the accompanying draWings, ?uid may The arrangement described above provides for axial ?oW of ?uid betWeen stacked blocks through the block bores 106/ 206 and/or ?uid passages 112/212 (and ducts 214), as Well as radial?oW Withina?uidintake/outletblock200betWeenthe ?uid passages 212 and block bores 206 via the ducts 214.

(Since only a single such channel116isillustratedintheaccompanyingdraWings,the channel 116 can be regarded as a ?uid input port, or a ?uid output port, for its ?uid passage block 100 to alloW entry or exit of ?uid to the stacked blocks 100/200.) Additionally, plugsmaybeprovidedinblockbores106/206and/orin?uid passages to block the passage of ?uid Where desired. As best seen in FIGS. 2-3, bore plugs 3 08 are situated Within the block bores 106 of the top and bottom ?uid passage blocks 100 of the stack to prevent ?uid ?oW Within these block bores 106, and passage plugs 310 are provided Within the ?uid passages 112 of selected ?uid passage blocks 100 to prevent ?uid ?oW Within these ?uid passages 112. With the arrangement depicted in the draWings, itcan be seen that ?uid entering the channel 116 Will ?oW into the central block bore 106 of its ?uidpassageblock100,uptheblockbores106ofthe?uid passage blocks 100 stacked above, into the block bores 206 of the?uidintake/outletblocks200stackedabove,andtheninto the ducts 214 and ?uid passages 212 of these ?uid intake/ outlet blocks 200.
