Abstract
A turbine has a housing containing a rotatable concentric inner member with a central shaft and a plurality of substantially axially oriented blades extending between an exterior face of a peripheral wall of the inner member and an inner face of a peripheral wall of the housing. The space between the walls defines a channel into which a fluid may pass. A fluid may be directed through at least one inlet in the housing peripheral wall to act on a blade and fill the space between adjacent for causing an inner member to rotate. The fluid leaves the turbine through an outlet in the housing peripheral wall.

A turbine, comprising:
- a housing containing a rotatable concentric inner member with a central shaft and a plurality of substantially axially oriented blades extending between an exterior face of a peripheral wall of said rotatable concentric inner member and an inner face of a peripheral wall of said housing with a space existing between said peripheral wall of said rotatable concentric inner member and said peripheral wall of said housing defining a channel into which fluid is passable, so that the fluid is able to be directed through at least one inlet of said peripheral wall of said housing for acting on a blade and fills the space between adjacent blades of said plurality of substantially axially oriented blades for causing said rotatable concentric inner member to rotate, the fluid exiting said turbine through an outlet in said peripheral wall of said housing.
