As this article says, "This may set you thinking of the potential of a centrifugal gun whirled by a gas turbine at, say, 20,000 r.p.m. With an effective swing radius of about 6in., you'd get a muzzle velocity of over 5000 f.p.s.— better than a high-powered rifle!"
There have been some dramatic claims made for recent developments of the centrifugal gun (notably the "Dread" by Trinamic Technologies, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-teEbB9vlEU). But as far as I'm aware, such claims have yet to be proven by testing of physical prototypes. (It's always possible that tests have been done, but are currently classified).
Centrifugal gun — operating principle
In the above schematic drawing, the spherical projectile-mass enters the rotor near its center. It then experiences a Coriolis force Fc exerted on it from the side of the radial hole through the spinning rotor. This causes the mass to accelerate outwards along the radial hole and to leave the rotor at high velocity.
A possibility of inertial propulsion?
By Newton's third law, Fr, an equal and opposite force to Fc, is exerted on the rotor. Note that, at every instant during the mass's travel through the rotor, Fc and Fr are perpendicular to its direction of motion. This raises a (slight) possibility of inertial propulsion, which I'll discuss next time.
Similar Concept -·2-Imploturbocompressor; One Moving Part System Excellence Design - The InFlow Interaction comes from Macro-Flow and goes to Micro-Flow by Implossion - Only One Compression Step; Inflow, Compression and outflow at one simple circular dynamic motion Concept.
ReplyDelete*·“Excellence in Design" because is only one moving part. Only one unique compression step. Inflow and out flow at the same one system, This invention by its nature a logic and simple conception in the dynamics flow mechanics area. The invention is a wing made of one piece in a rotating motion, contained in a pair cavity system connected by implocavity, and interacting dynamically with a flow, that passes internally "Imploded" through its simple mechanism. This flow can be gas (air) or liquid (water). And have two diferents aplications, in two diferents form-function; this one can be received (using the dynamic flow passage, as a receiver). Or it can be generated (with a power plant, generating a propulsion).
An example cut be, as a Bike needs a chain to work from motor to wheel. And for the Imploturbocompressor application, cut be as; in a circumstance at the engine, as an A-activate flow, and with a a tube flow conduit going to the wheel as a B-receiving-flow the work use.
To see a Imploturbocompressor animation, is posible on a simple way, just to check the Hurricane Satellite view, and is the same implo inflow way nature.
Presenting one of the many diferents examples, could specifically be this same invention applied in pair in every bar end, similar to what would be a turbine reaction or turbocompressor, and making the best profit of a exhaust gas dynamic flow, compressing a new air entrance and therefore falling into the technical field of the reaction turbines.
