No funnel housing wind turbine

A method of converting fluid stream energy into mechanical energy, comprising:

• providing a flywheel disposed alone, or within a housing, the flywheel comprising a wheel and a plurality of blades which protrude from an outer surface of the wheel;
• causing the housing to rotate such that a front of the housing always faces directly into a fluid stream;
• directing, by a first diverter scoop disposed at the front of the housing, a first portion of a fluid stream toward the plurality of blades;
• and
• directing, by a second diverter scoop disposed at a rear of the housing, a second portion of the fluid stream toward the plurality of blades.

A fluid turbine assembly comprising:

• a circular housing;
• a torus wheel placed inside the housing and configured to rotate about a rotational axis, the wheel including a rotor and a plurality of blades which protrude from an outer surface of the rotor;
• a diverter scoop assembly configured to compress fluid stream energy through a fluid top inlet opening;
• and
• an intake opening part of the top wall configured to direct the collected fluid stream energy down into the housing top and toward the wheel blades in a first direction, and to direct the front collected fluid stream energy into the housing and toward the turbine blades in a second direction opposite the first direction at the same time;
• wherein the housing is configured to rotate on the same axis independently of the wheel blades,
• wherein the circular housing has a curved wall which separates the fluid stream energy coming in from opposite direction from the blades.
