Abstract
A method of separating the constituents of a fluid where the constituents have different physical characteristics including mass, weight, coefficient of friction and the like. The method comprising impeding the flow of the fluid for causing the fluid to move in a curvilinear path. By moving in a curvilinear path, the fluid is effected by centrifugal forces. The centrifugal forces cause the separation of the constituents of the fluid. Further, the effected fluid is slowed for further enhancing separation of the constituents of the fluid.
