Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to a pump impeller for moving a fluid, comprising a hub on which at least one blade is fixed, wherein a support connects each blade to the hub and extends radially, winding helically with respect to the axis of said hub, while each blade extends in a direction substantially perpendicular to the radial direction of each support. One application of the present invention is the production of a pump impeller with high speed of rotation and high yield.
