Abstract
The invention is directed to a turbo-engine, particularly internal combustion engine, comprising a housing and therein a bladeless turbine section () of the stacked disc- or Tesla-type construction, wherein the turbine section () has a plurality of closely spaced discs () arranged for common rotation about a rotation axis in the housing, said turbine section () is adapted for passing with tangential flow components a working fluid stream from a radially inner region to a radially outer region of said turbine section () while adopting energy from said working fluid stream for rotating the discs (). Preferably, the turbo-engine further comprises a compressor section () of the stacked disc- or Tesla-type construction having a plurality of closely spaced discs () arranged for common rotation about said rotation axis and a combustion zone (), wherein said compressor section () being arranged coaxially with—and radially inwardly of the turbine section () with the combustion zone () provided radially between the compressor section and the turbine section.
