✦ Synopsis

Nash has always dedicated significant investment into research & development, and now, it seems, has spent a bit of time on this beautifully presented effort too. After the sublime intro, check out perhaps the explanation of how the unique Nash products work. The company's vacuum pump or air compressor has only one moving part -a balanced rotor. "Such simplicity is possible because all functions of mechanical pistons or vanes are actually performed by a ~otating ring of liquid compressant. The rotor transmits power to keep the ring of liquid rotating. However, the liquid tends to follow a path that conforms to the inside of the body. The body is cylindrical, but its axis is offset from the rotor axts. Liquid compressant almost fills then oartly empties each rotor chamber once or twice each revolution." Confused? Don't be. A picture speaks a thousand words, remember, so relax. An animated GIF explains all of the above instantly.
