Distributed control flueric amplifier

Claim 1

In a flueric amplifier of the wall attachment type having input means for admitting a fluid input power stream into an interaction chamber, attachment walls downstream of said inlet and on opposite sides of said chamber and separate output channels leading from the chamber downstream of said attachment walls, the improvement comprising: groups of longitudinally aligned control ports opening up into said chamber upstream of said attachment wall on opposite sides of the power stream with each output channel lying on diametrically opposite sides of the power stream from respective group of control ports effecting movement of said power stream into the same, at least one upstream control port on each side of said chamber comprising an entrainment control port for introducing positive pressure control fluid to the attachment bubble existing along the attachment wall and at least one control port on the same side of said chamber and downstream of said entrainment control port constituting a momentum exchange control port for creating a momentum impact force on the same side of said power stream, a common primary control channel for independently supplying control fluid and secondary control channels separately connecting the control ports for each group to its primary control channel to simultaneously supply control fluid to said chamber through said entrainment control port and said momentum exchange control port.
