Embodiment Construction
[0093] A description of preferred embodiments of the invention follows.
[0094] It has been appreciated in the prior art and from earlier work done by Chomyszak that the OVM offers an extraordinary ratio of fluid compression or expansion capabilities compared to its size and weight. The Applicant has found that what limits the OVM from realizing its potential is that the loads transmitted to the drive mechanism that interfaces with the oscillating blade 2 can be extremely high.
[0095] For a given power level, there are four ways to improve the drive mechanism so that it can withstand the power transmitted through it: 1) use stronger materials, 2) use larger components, 3) reduce the load, or 4) Modify the geometry of the component. Work done on the design, analysis, construction and testing of OVMs in operation to date has shown that loads on components are generated from three sources: friction, inertia and pressure differentials.
[0096] The friction component is relat...
