The concept of a Vortex Engine, proposed by Louis Michaud, aims to replace the physical chimney in the Solar chimney with a vortex of air. The interior of the vortex contains lower pressure air, much as the air inside a physical solar chimney would be at lower pressure. This could provide a more economical means of building a solar chimney, if it proves workable. A solar chimney is an apparatus for harnessing solar energy by convection of heated air. ... Vortex created by the passage of an aircraft wing, revealed by coloured smoke A vortex is a spinning turbulent flow (or any spiral whirling motion) with closed streamlines. ...
The sliding-blade vapor engine in accordance with the present invention may be used as a geothermal direct steam cycle power plant wherein the expander of the engine is capable of operating with steam that is far from pure, wet steam with a large degree of moisture, or a mixture of gas and steam.
The vortex boiler 70 has a hollow cylindrical outer housing 71 connected at its lower end with a heat carrier source or furnace 72 and the upper end of the housing 71 is open and is provided with a exhaust port 73.
The inlet port 91 of the vortex chamber is connected by piping 90 to the exhaust port 22 of the pump chamber 12.
