1. A generator for generating toroidal and spatial vortices in a liquid, comprising a stator with a stator disc and a rotor with a rotor disc, the rotor being adapted to drive liquid from an inlet toward the rotor disc, and the stator disc arranged facing the rotor disc and spaced apart from the rotor disc by a gap, the rotor disc comprising inner notches arranged to redirect fluid toward the stator disc,
the stator disc comprising stator notches wherein the stator notches comprise curved surfaces that operably redirect the flow of fluid by approximately 60 to 120 degrees;
such that when an inner notch and a stator notch face each other a passage is provided via the inner notch and the stator notch for a periodical liquid flow for generating toroidal vortices due to the redirections of the fluid, and
such that when an inner notch and a stator notch do not face each other a passage is provided via the inner notch and the gap for a permanent liquid flow for generating spatial vortices due to the velocity difference of the rotor disc and the stator disc defining the gap.
