'Helix Turbine'™ - The Greatest Power To Weight Ratio Fluid Compressor

The helix turbine is any compressor which resembles a drill bit helix, with cowling surrounding the helix for pressure containment and flow efficiency, as well as noise reduction.

1. Propellors are the least powerful of compressors.

   
   

2. Fans proceed as the compressors of next order of mechanical power. They leak pressure between fan blade arrays.

   
   

3. Helix turbines are, inherently, the most powerful compressor type.

The most familiar helix trubine of high power ratio is known as a drill bit. The other two types would fail at the same task. Sensible engineers can all see why the Helix Turbine has no true competition.

For a modern mark of the turbo jet, a Helix Turbine would form the power plant phase of the turbine, where continuous, forward compression is applied for the first 2/3 length of the turbine.

After the widest point of the compression cone where compression ends after the first 2/3 length, aerosol jet fuel is introduced beyond the shear 90° vertical rear blast wall behind the compression cone. It will turn the continuing helix with the jet combustion for the final third length.

Approximate dimensions are provided for the air flow turbine. A second, double the helical diameter (of the first phase) Helix Turbine will follow, to force air flow along its length - approximately 1/6 of the previous, whole turbine column length. A narrower axis shaft would provide this. This is predicated on the fact that for Mach 2+ flight, the turbine fans provide more kinetic power than the jet pulse.
