Abstract

A tabulated kinematic control theory provides a foundation for a variety of peristaltic motion control versions where a control stator establishes a reference line for a peristaltic control wave or path in few different ways for the purpose of making a control point on a differential linkage or gear to follow this control path which in turn is creating an alternating harmonic-motion-like accelerating and decelerating rotary motion to a pair of concentric rotor shafts which are attached to vane carriers with one or more vanes each. The vanes are working in a main cylindrical central-axis rotating or stationary pressure chamber whereby the accelerating and decelerating rotary motion of vanes is creating variable volume subchambers between adjacent vanes to provide a peristaltic flow of fluids through a pattern of inlet and outlet ports in a stationary distributing stator which has a registered relationship with the control stator for providing a synchronized communication between the variable volume subchambers and the inlet-outlet ports or any other communicating points. The positively controlled differential power transmission between the two rotor shafts and the operating shaft of…
