Atmosphric vortex engine

Abstract

The present invention comprises a device capable of setting ambient air pressure into motion and maintaining a vortex. The apparatus uses a vacuum pump to set it into motion to generate a plurality of converging and diverging portions of high and low pressure regions. The high velocity air stream enters the vortex generating zone. It also provides the ability to inject water into the vortex tube to lower the temperature of the air within the vortex tube to via into evaporation. The outer vortex and inner vortex functions by converting the random molecular motion of the molecules to water molecules to absorb the latent heat. Gas Dynamics, the branch of fluid dynamics concerned with the study of motion of gases, relates the kinetic motion of a gas molecules to its absolute temperature.
