A plasma- vortex engine (20), consisting of a plasmatic fluid (22) circulating in a closed loop (44) encompassing a fluid heater (26), an expansion chamber (30), and a condenser (42), is provided. The expansion chamber (30) is formed of a housing (64) and two end plates (66, 68), and encompasses a rotor (72) to which a plurality of vanes (74) is coupled. A shaft (36) is coupled to the rotor (72) through the endplates (66, 68). During operation, the fluid heater (26) heats the plasmatic fluid (22) to produce a plasma (86), which is then injected into the expansion chamber (30). The plasma (86) expands both hydraulically and adiabatically and exerts an expansive force (94) against one of the vanes (74). A vortex generator (96) coupled to the expansion chamber generates a vortex (100) within the plasma (86), which exerts a vortical force (102) against that one vane (74). The rotor (72) and shaft (36) rotate in response to the expansive and vortical forces (94, 102). The plasma (86) is exhausted from the expansion chamber (30) and is condensed back into the plasmatic fluid (22) by the condenser (42).

L'invention concerne un moteur à tourbillons de plasma (20), consistant en un fluide plasmique (22) circulant dans une boucle fermée (44) comprenant un dispositif de chauffage de fluide (26), une chambre d'expansion (30), et un condenseur (42). La chambre d'expansion (30) est formée d'un boîtier (64) et de deux plaques d'extrémité (66, 68), et comprend un rotor (72) auquel plusieurs aubes (74) sont couplées. Un arbre (36) est couplé au rotor (72) à travers des plaques d'extrémité (66, 68). Durant sont fonctionnement, le dispositif de chauffage de fluide (26) chauffe le fluide plasmatique (22) afin de produire un plasma (86), qui est ensuite injecté dans la chambre d'expansion (30). Le plasma (86) s'étend à la fois hydrauliquement et adiabaticallement et exerce une force expansive (94) contre une des aubes (74). Un générateur de tourbillons (96) couplé à la chambre d'expansion génère un tourbillon (100) dans le plasma (86),qui exerce une force tourbillonnaire (102)contre cette aube (74).le rotor (72) et l'arbre (36) tournent en réaction aux forces expansives et tourbillonnaires (94, 102). Le plasma (86) est écoulé de la chambre d'expansion (30) et condensé dans le fluide plasmatique (22) par le condenseur (42).
