Both gear-and gerotor-type pumps are used in the lubricating system of the turbine engine.... The Gerotor pump has two moving parts : an inner-toothed element meshing with an outer-toothed element. The inner element has one less tooth than the outer. The missing tooth provides a chamber to move the fluid from the intake to the discharge port. Both elements are mounted eccentrically to one another on the same shaft. 3, record 1, English, - gerotor%2Dtype%20pump

Bladeless turbine... An assembly of plain metallic discs is mounted on a shaft, with narrow spaces between the discs. Geothermal fluid-hot water and/or steam-is admitted to the spaces between the discs at the periphery, and is directed to follow an inward spiral path towards a central exhaust port. The driving force is derived from frictional boundary layer drag between the fluid(s) and the disc surfaces. Such a machine would be very cheap to construct and to maintain : the discs could easily be dismantled, cleaned of chemical deposits and reassembled. 1, record 4, English, - bladeless%20turbine
