One manifestation of an advanced superventuri power source comprises: (i) a series of at least three venturi tubes with at least one threesome of the tubes labeled an alpha-, beta-, and gamma-venturi tube respectively, and of predetermined successively increasing flow capacity respectively; (ii) the alpha- and beta-venturi tubes each having an open entrance to permit flow through the respective open entrance and out of the respective open exit; (iii) respective inlets of the threesome each facing the intended direction of flow; (iv) the open exits of the alpha- and beta-venturi tubes placed adjacent the throats of the beta- and gamma-venturi tubes, respectively, so that respective central axes of the threesome essentially merge into a central super-axis along an intended line of flow; (v) as referenced from the super-axis, the inlets of the alpha-, beta-, and gamma-venturi tubes being positioned to intercept relatively inner, intermediate, and outer portions of the selected medium as an alpha-, beta-, and gamma-flow, respectively, whereby in operation the alpha-flow as exhaust from the open exit of the alpha-venturi tube joins accelerated beta-flow adjacent the throat of the beta-venturi tube and the beta-flow as exhaust from the open exit of the beta-venturi tube, in turn, joins accelerated gamma-flow adjacent the throat of gamma-venturi tube; and (vi) a beta-turbine adjacent the throat of the beta-venturi tube to recover useful rotary mechanical power.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A superventuri power source comprising:a. a series of at least two venturi tubes whereof each of the venturi tubes includes a central axis through a substantially hollow conduit having a venturi constriction; and wherein the venturi constriction includes an inlet of nonzero length and generally decreasing normal cross-sectional area which leads to a throat of generally minimal normal cross-sectional area which, in turn, leads to an outlet of nonzero length and generally increasing normal cross-sectional area; and whereby each normal cross-sectional area is perpendicular to its respective central axis;b. a superventuri apparatus including: (i) at least one twosome in the series of at least two venturi tubes labeled an alpha- and a beta-venturi tube, respectively, and of predetermined successively increasing flow capacity, respectively; (ii)the substantially hollow conduit of the alpha-venturi tube having an open entrance and an open exit adjacent its inlet and outlet, respectively, to permit flow of a selected medium through the open entrance into the venturi constriction and out of the open exit; (iii) the respective inlets of the twosome each facing the intended direction of flow of the selected medium; (iv) the minimal normal cross-sectional area of the throat of the beta-venturi tube being greater than the maximal normal cross-sectional area of the open exit of the alpha-venturi tube with the open exit of the alpha-venturi tube being placed adjacent the throat of the beta-venturi tube in a manner that the respective central axes of the twosome essentially merge into a central super-axis along an intended line of flow of the selected medium; and (v) as referenced from the super-axis, the inlets of the alpha- and beta-venturi tubes being positioned to intercept relatively inner and outer portions of the selected medium as an alpha- and a beta-flow, respectively, whereby in operation the alpha-flow as exhaust from the open exit of the alpha-venturi tube joins the accelerated beta-flow adjacent the throat of the beta-venturi tube causing a pumping action by the beta-venturi tube on the alpha-venturi tube; andc. a beta-turbine adjacent the throat of the beta-venturi tube to recover useful rotary mechanical power from flow power of the selected medium.
