Power generation and propulsion architecture using fluid flow

A turbine system, comprising:

• a turbine mounted in a housing into which fluid flow is received for rotation of the turbine, the housing having compound nozzles which include a smaller opening into which fluid flow is received and a larger opening from which fluid flow is exhausted, the turbine positioned inside a shroud and affixed to an inside surface of the shroud, wherein the shroud and turbine rotate in unison;
• an electromechanical control system which controls cycling blades of the turbine system to incrementally open and close the cycling blades to manage fluid flow into and out of the turbine;
• and
• a power generation system connected to the turbine to store power from rotation of the turbine when in a power storage mode, and to deliver power to the turbine to control the turbine to output fluid flow as thrust when in a propulsion mode, the power generation system includes a power generation device affixed inside a hub of the turbine, wherein rotation of the turbine also rotates the power generation device in the hub to generate the power for storage and the power for thrust from fluid flow.
