Zusammenfassung:An impeller assembly comprising a first reinforcing backing plate (9) fixedl y attached to a central hub (15), a stacked array of parallel disks (2) fixedly attached to the first reinforcing backin g plate, wherein the disks possess a central aperture, and wherein the disks are inter-spaced along a parallel axis; a second reinforci ng backing plate (12) fixedly attached to the stacked array of parallel disks, wherein the second reinforcing backing plate possesses a central aperture, whereby, upon radial movement of the central hub, a fluid flows through the central apertures of the second reinforcing backing plate and the stacked array of disks and the spaces between the disks. A plurality of connecting rods (5) are provided to connect the first, second backing plates and the disks. A plurality of spacers (4) are arranged between two adjacent disks to create spaces between the disks. The impeller assembly can be used with various mechanical devices such as, hydroelectric turbines, flu id turbines, turbine transmissions, and pumps of various types.
