Exciting find!

I just ran across this & found it quite exciting. Seems capable of providing 7:1+ pressure ratios at a fraction of the rpm's needed thus far.

(but the language ... I have headache!)

It looks interesting, but isn't it more intended for relatively high pressure ratios/low volume compression? I'm having a hard time getting a clear mental picture of how it works and the internal construction of the thing. They're probably just trying to protect their intellectual property. And I agree with cmoalem about the language - even the name stumbles off the tongue like a drunk falling out of a pub late at night, having pissed his pants, eventually passing out on the sidewalk in a puddle of his own vomit, dry-heaving until dawn... too graphic? Sorry, my inner Hemingway apparently took over.

FeTu Roticulate! Or die! Is it a verb? Kinda sounds like one...

Would love to know more about how it actually works.

LOL ... I enjoyed your "Hemingway" explosion

Lol i agree with you all! Over the years i have formed a sort of internutt,(you know; what al gore invented?!), filter. It allows me to somewhat ignore & filter the afore-mentioned language.
I too struggle to grasp how it actually works. I hope to eventually find a visuallization of some sort.
& i agree with you AlexLTDLX. Likely trying to protect the intellectual property. If it makes it to production thatll change.
From what ive been able to discern it is capable of high pressure & flow at high volumetric efficiency & at low rpms. It is also positive displacement like a roots or whipple.
Just ALOT of un answered questions for me
