A Roots blower is a rotary blowing machine with two meshing rotors turning in opposite directions. The rotors are cycloidal gears with two to six lobes, each with an epicycloidal and a hypocycloidal section. Air moves through the blower as it is trapped in the cavities between the rotors and the housing.
