Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
An engine for providing rotary power about an output shaft with a high power-to-weight ratio includes a plurality of flow guiding blades mounted on the inner surface of an annular thruster base. The flow guiding blades cooperate with the peripheral surface of a rotor for forming a plurality of ramjet-like thrusters. The configuration of the flow guiding blades allows for optimization of the number of thrusters. The centrifugal forces generated by the rotating components is compensated by an annular reinforcement wall made with high strength materials allowing for downsizing of the rotor and associated components.

Why it's free to use
- Filed April 16, 2003 and granted June 14, 2011. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended April 16, 2023.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by April 16, 2025.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
