So it is a Brayton cycle, just translated away from the rod and wheel paradigm. I still don't understand the hubless design, but maybe it has something to do with the aviation focus.



Neat! Especially as it's self-cooling.

Yes Aviation.

Think rocket engine...

Hollow rotors with added bell shaped nozzles for thrust. (afterburners)

Run as a internal combustion engine as high as possible (100,000 ft. ?)

Very cool... 😎
