Axial compressors are meant to increase density of the air. My concept is meant to maintain continuous speed and pressure across the "blades".

The picture was simply the best visualisation of what I meant. I'm thinking of an angled gear that is long, with the teeth between 45 and 90 degrees to the airflow.

No, screws cause more drag. Conventional propellers started off as screws with one half turns. Conventional propellers, however, have variable thrust with distance from the centre, which can cause the speed of sound to be broken towards the tips, causing high drag. The idea of using a long...

Fair point, but this was the best image I could find for what I'm actually looking for- a long cylindrical gear with angled teeth.

Hyperbolic gears are narrowed in the middle.

The typical helical pinion isn't long enough. Isn't there a specific name for such long helical gears?

I just want to know what the individual gears are called. The reason is that I want to ask a question about their performance if they were used in place of traditional propellers.

That doesn't get me results on Google images of similar gears. I'm talking about the individual gear pieces.

So those rings in the middle don't have alternating electric fields?

Then why don't we use this design for linear accelerators?

Why would it cause resistance? The compressor inlet would have lower than atmospheric pressure since it has the draw in air.

Is centrifugal force a real force?

I put quotation marks around "force" for a reason. It is a pseudoforce like centrifugal force.

Why not? If we were to visualise the gravitational "force" as being made of field lines, the length contraction caused from the perspective of a moving observer would (intuitively, and of course I could be wrong) cause the field lines along the direction of travel to move closer together.
