2 I power absorotion-in both directions of rotationOPERATING PRINCIPLES everal smooth discs rotate in a housino betweensmooth stators. Cord water enters eachiotor charnberfrom both sides near the root diameter of the disc. Thewater is accelerated by the rotating disc and thrownoutwards. From the outer diameter of the rotor chamberinwards, the water forms an annulus which rotates atapprorimately half of the angular disc speed. Thecentrifugal pressure resulting from this process. forcesthe water out of the rotor is absorbed-and converted into heat-byviscous shear in the boundary layers adjacent to rotorand stator surfaces.

3 The resulting drag applies resis-tance to rotation and tends, with an equal effort, to turnthe dyramometer housino in the trunnion bearinos. Thehousing is restrained from turning by a load cet,.\^/hich ismounted to the torque arm at a fixed distance from thecenterline of the amount of power absorbed by the dynamometer isa function of water revel (size of rotaiing wdter annulus)and speed. The water level is modulatdd with the in,etand outlet control valves. At a given speed, maximumpower is absorbed when the rotor chambers are com-pletely filled with smooth tapered discs machined with an approximateuniform stress profile.

4 Small rotors are made from a solidstainless steel forging. Large rotors consist of individualdiscs made from high strength a loy steel The discs areclamped together with axial tiebolts. Torqueis transmitted by surface friction between the discs. Afterf inal machining, the working surfaces of the discs aref lame sprayed with a stainless steel coating to protectagainst corrosion. All rotating parts are subjected to anultrasonic and a magnetic panicle inspection. The entirerotor assembly is dynamically balanced to 406-160 dynamometer du ng assembly. The rctol?
