Abstract
A turbine has a first rotating portion configured to rotate about an axis and a second rotating portion configured to rotate about the same axis. The first rotating portion has a plurality of first fluid outlets, and, the second rotating portion has a plurality of second fluid outlets proximate to the first fluid outlets. The outlets are configured so that when a fluid flows out the first fluid outlets, the first rotating portion rotates in a first sense, and the fluid is forced out the second fluid outlets, thereby causing the second rotating portion to rotate in a sense opposite to the first sense. The invention also provides for an electrical power system and a method of generating electricity incorporating this turbine.
Claims20
A turbine comprising:
- (a) a first rotating portion configured to rotate about an axis, the first rotating portion comprising a plurality of first fluid outlets;
- and,
- (b) a second rotating portion configured to rotate about said axis, the second rotating portion comprising a plurality of second fluid outlets proximate to said plurality of first fluid outlets on the first rotating portion,
- wherein when a fluid is directed out said first fluid outlets, said first rotating portion rotates in a first sense, and said fluid is directed out said second fluid outlets, thereby causing said second rotating portion to rotate in a sense opposite to said first sense.
A method of generating counter-rotation comprising:
- (a) providing a turbine comprising a first rotating portion and a second rotating portion, both of which are configured to rotate about a single axis;
- and
- (b) forcing a high pressure fluid through said turbine,
- wherein said high pressure fluid causes said first rotating portion to rotate in a first sense, and causes said second rotating portion to rotate in a sense opposite to said first sense.
