this system uses fluid, stored in a tank, the fluid enters a vertical spiral, then flows up and through the horizontal vortex spirals.
The outwards force of the fluid against the spiral / screw pipes, (vortex's) turns them at a much faster rate than the main wheel they are connected to.
e.g. if the main wheel has a radius of 1 meter, and is turning at 500 rpm, the average outwards force of the fluid being pressed against the vortex screw would be over 100 times that of gravity, or 100G
This could create a high volume flow as the main wheel turns.
The vortex 's turn independently, No gears connect them.
half of these vortex's turn in the opposite direction, (the spiral coils would be wound either clockwise or counter-clockwise) "unsure if gyroscopic forces would hinder the rotation of the main wheel". if not!, they can turn in the same direction.
The wheel would be similar to turning a balanced wheel, which would turn as the flow is sucked up into the lower vertical spiral intake that sits in a tank of fluid.
The Vortex wheel itself, is not used to power other external systems, as it could affect the flow and cause the wheel to stall.
This designed version uses the output flow of the vortex's to turn a second turbine wheel. The high flow and pressure exiting the vortex's hit the blades of the turbine wheel.
The turbine wheel would be used to power external systems. e.g. a generator.
Valves are used to control the speed of the vortex's as well as another valve system ( not shown- still a work in progress) to control the speed of the vortex wheel. (so they don't run to destruction).
Designed other variations, including a closed flow system, which would not use a turbine wheel.
the flow itself can be used, prior to entry into the vertical spiral to run other external systems.
There would be no need for a tank.
Still a work in progress.
NOTE: The scale, the pitch and style of the vortex's (or screw type spirals) and vertical spiral, is just a representation of a concept, utilizing centrifugal force/ centripetal force ? that might create excess output as it turns.
If it's viable, the final design would depend on real world tests, to determine the efficiency of different spiral screw shapes, pitch etc.
