Abstract

The Present system provides for expanding high pressure gases from the chambers of a moving rotor and reentering said gases into the chambers of said moving rotor in such a way that the gases in the chambers of said moving rotor have been subjected to more expansions than the gases reentering the chambers and therefore are at a lower pressure than the gases reentering said chambers.
