Jianzhong stated the contra-rotary compressor is the main innovation behind the system’s architecture. Because the high- and low-pressure rotors spin in opposite ways, the engine maintains relative speed and reduces absolute rotational speed, thus lowering centrifugal forces on blades and discs.

Well that’s interesting

Are vertical blades on-track to revolutionise wind power?

Airloom Energy's low-profile wind turbine replaces towering blades with lightweight wings on a track, offering faster, cheaper, and scalable clean power.
