Claims
- 1. A method of transferring heat from a lower temperature to a higher temperature comprising compressing a first fluid by a centrifugal force within an outwardly extending first passage of a rotating rotor with accompanying temperature increase; expanding said compressible first fluid inwardly in a second passage that is connected at its outward end with said outwardly extending passage outer end by a first passage means, connecting said second passage inward end with a discharge means a second radial distance away from the center of rotation of said rotor, connecting said first passage inward end with an entry means with said entry means furthest radial distance from the center of rotation of said rotor being less than said second radial distance to provide a pressure differential for said first fluid within said rotor, said discharge means being a set of nozzles adapted of passing said first fluid and being oriented to discharge said first fluid away from the direction of rotation to generate torque on said rotor to assist in the rotation of said rotor, removing heat from said first fluid during and after compression within said rotor in a heat exchanger carried by said rotor.
