A thermodynamic pressure generator having an oscillating valve that allows premixed fuel to enter a combustion chamber in turbulence, until it comes into contact with an annular spoiler, which converts a portion of the fuel into a Karmon vortex ring for delayed ignition. A continuous spark then ignites the remaining fuel with rapid pressure rise that kills the vortex. The fuel in the vortex goes from laminar to turbulence, adding fuel to the already burning charge, super charging it and permitting total ignition. Thus, present invention exhaust contains no polluting by-products and only sensible heat is released into the environment. Exhaust gases are released radially through turbine vanes having a shape that permits a relatively low rotational speed, with sufficient peripheral speed to create torque of considerable degree. Applications include, but are not limited to, land transportation vehicles, propeller-driven airplanes, and marine vessels.

What is claimed is: 1. A rotary thermodynamic pressure generator comprising: a combustion chamber with two annular spoilers each configured to simultaneously create a vortex ring having laminar flow from a portion of the turbulent premixed air/fuel mixture entering said combustion chamber so as to delay combustion of the portion of air/fuel mixture temporarily preserved in laminar flow; air intake means for providing sufficient air to create a lean air/fuel mixture for combustion within said combustion chamber, said air intake means being in fluid communication with said combustion chamber; fuel intake means associated with said air intake means and adapted for providing fuel for combustion within said combustion chamber; an oscillating valve positioned for controlling flow of said air/fuel mixture into said combustion chamber; at least one exhaust chamber in constant fluid communication with said combustion chamber; a rotor assembly having a perimeter edge and a plurality of blades depending in 360째 array from said perimeter edge, with slots between adjacent ones of said blades and said blades being positioned between said combustion chamber and said exhaust chamber; an output shaft associated for rotation with said rotor assembly; at least one igniter communicating with said combustion chamber; and exhaust means in communication with said at least one exhaust chamber whereby as the remaining turbulent flow that is not peeled off by said two annular spoilers is ignited in said combustion chamber, it expands causing a pressure rise that kills said vortex rings, thereby releasing said laminar air/fuel mixture in said vortex rings to turbulence and supercharging the combustion reaction. 2. The generator of claim 1 wherein said air intake means further comprises a venturi. 3. The generator of claim 1 wherein said air intake means further comprises an air intake and a mixing duct, with said mixing duct positioned between said air intake and said combustion chamber. 4. The generator of claim 1 further comprising at least one air cooling inlet, with said at least one air cooling inlet being selected from a group consisting of cooling air inlets positioned in front of said rotor assembly and air cooling inlets positioned rearward from said rotor assembly. 5. The generator of claim 1 wherein said at least one igniter produces a continuous spark. 6. The generator of claim 1 having two annular spoilers each configured and positioned to each create one of said vortex rings, with said vortex rings having opposite rotation. 7. The generator of claim 1 further comprising at least one blade access opening configured and positioned for blade maintenance and replacement. 8. The generator of claim 1 wherein the exhaust produced is sensible heat. 9. The generator of claim 1 wherein fluid communication between said combustion chamber and said exhaust chamber occurs approximately six hundred times per second. 10. The generator of claim 1 further comprising cooling means selected from a group consisting of cooling fins, air inlets adjacent to said combustion chamber and in fluid communication with said exhaust chamber, and rotating chains moving in part through an oil reservoir. 11. The generator of claim 1 wherein said at least one exhaust chamber comprises a single exhaust chamber in an annular position relative to said rotor assembly and said combustion chamber. 12. The generator of claim 1 further comprising a plurality of magnetic seals associated with said output shaft that are adapted for maintaining output shaft lubrication. 13. A method of using a generator to create rotary thermodynamic pressure, said method comprising the steps of: providing a combustion chamber with two annular spoilers each configured to simultaneously create a vortex ring having laminar flow from a portion of air/fuel mixture entering said combustion chamber, air intake means, fuel intake means, an oscillating valve, at least one exhaust chamber, a rotor assembly having a perimeter edge and a plurality of blades depending in 360째 array from said perimeter edge, an output shaft, at least one igniter, and exhaust means; placing said air intake means in fluid communication with said combustion chamber; associating said fuel intake means with said air intake means; placing said oscillating valve in a position to control the flow of said air/fuel mixture into said combustion chamber; placing said exhaust chamber in constant fluid communication with said combustion chamber; placing said blades on said rotor assembly between said combustion chamber and said exhaust chamber; placing said output shaft in rotational association with said rotor assembly; placing said at least one igniter in communication with said combustion chamber; and placing said exhaust means in communication with said at least one exhaust chamber whereby when said oscillating valve allows turbulent premixed air/fuel mixture into said combustion chamber, said at least one annular spoiler peels off some of the air/fuel mixture into laminar flow in the form of at least one vortex ring for delayed combustion, and as the remaining turbulent flow is ignited it expands causing more air/fuel mixture to be brought into said combustion chamber which increases the size of said at least one vortex ring, eventually ring formation ceases and fuel therein ignites, supercharging the combustion reaction and forcing the exploding gases to pass through said slots between said blades attached to said rotor assembly, moving said rotor, and said output shaft attached to said rotor assembly, with the void created by expanding gases causing said oscillating valve to again move to allow a fresh charge of premixed air/fuel mixture into said combustion chamber for the next combustion event until no fuel remains available for combustion. 14. The method of claim 13 wherein said steps of placing said air intake means in fluid communication with said combustion chamber, associating said fuel intake means with said air intake means, placing said oscillating valve in a position to control the flow of said air/fuel mixture into said combustion chamber, placing said exhaust chamber in constant fluid communication with said combustion chamber, placing said blades on said rotor assembly between said combustion chamber and said exhaust chamber, placing said output shaft in rotational association with said rotor assembly, placing said at least one igniter in communication with said combustion chamber, and placing said exhaust means in communication with said at least one exhaust chamber are interchangeable. 15. The method of claim 13 wherein said air intake means further comprises a venturi. 16. The method of claim 13 wherein said at least one igniter produces a continuous spark. 17. The method of claim 13 wherein two annular spoilers are provided and said annular spoilers are each configured and positioned to each create one of said vortex rings, with said vortex rings having opposite rotation. 18. The method of claim 13 wherein the exhaust produced is sensible heat. 19. The method of claim 13 wherein the number of said combustion events occurring per second is approximately six hundred, creating the effect of said constant fluid communication between said combustion chamber and said exhaust chamber. 20. The method of claim 13 wherein said at least one exhaust chamber comprises a single exhaust chamber in an annular position relative to said rotor assembly and said combustion chamber.
