Abstract A jet propelled motor in which a plurality of rotating blades is attached to a common shaft and terminates at one end in a drive shaft and at another end in a drive pressure inlet and a brake pressure inlet; the drive pressure inlet being coupled through the rotating shaft and a channel in each of the blades to a spring-biased ball valve which releases after a predetermined pressure and allows the pressure to exit through a jet drive exhaust on the end of the blade; the plurality of blades being disposed in a plurality of planes and progressively reducing in length; a valve seat in the blades in at least one of the planes for shutting off the jet exhaust to that plane of blades after the shaft has reached a predetermined rotational speed and a braking pressured input coupled through the shaft to an opposite edge of the blades for braking the rotation of the shaft when desired.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
154 words
A jet propelled motor comprising: a pressure shaft having a plurality of channels therein; a shroud rotatably carrying said pressure shaft, said pressure shaft terminating in a drive shaft external to said shroud; a plurality of blades coupled to said pressure shaft, each of said plurality of blades having at least one channel therein terminating in a jet outlet, said at least one channel in each of said Plurality of blades communicating with at least one of said plurality of channels within said pressure shaft; said at least one channel in each of said plurality of blades in at least one plane includes a valve, said valve being quiescently closed on a first seat and being opened upon application of pressure thereto and further closed on a second seat upon a predetermined centrifugal force being attained; and pressure means coupled to said at least one of said plurality of channels in said pressure shaft.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
154 words
A jet propelled motor comprising: a pressure shaft having a plurality of channels therein; a shroud rotatably carrying said pressure shaft, said pressure shaft terminating in a drive shaft external to said shroud; a plurality of blades coupled to said pressure shaft, each of said plurality of blades having at least one channel therein terminating in a jet outlet, said at least one channel in each of said Plurality of blades communicating with at least one of said plurality of channels within said pressure shaft; said at least one channel in each of said plurality of blades in at least one plane includes a valve, said valve being quiescently closed on a first seat and being opened upon application of pressure thereto and further closed on a second seat upon a predetermined centrifugal force being attained; and pressure means coupled to said at least one of said plurality of channels in said pressure shaft.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
63 words
The jet propelled motor of claim 1 wherein: each of said plurality of blades includes a braking channel terminating in a second jet outlet opposite said first-mentioned jet outlet, said braking channel being in communication with another one of said plurality of channels in said pressure shaft; and further including pressure means coupled to said another of said channels in said pressure shaft.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
34 words
The jet propelled motor of claim 1 wherein: said valves in the blades of one plane are operable for closing at a lower centrifugal force than the valves in the blades in another plane.
