Abstract
Disclosed herein is a turbine system comprising a support structure, a turbine assembly and a guide vane assembly. The support structure defines a central hollow and has an outer portion and an inner portion forming the periphery of the central hollow. The turbine assembly is movably coupled to and configured to be supported from the inner portion of the support structure to enable rotational displacement thereof along the periphery of the central hollow and about the first axis. The guide vane assembly is coupled to the outer portion of the support structure for circumscribing the support structure, the guide vane assembly comprising a plurality of guide vanes positionable for guiding fluids impinging thereupon towards the turbine assembly to thereby rotationally displace the turbine assembly about the first axis.

A turbine system comprising:
- a support structure defining a first axis and a central hollow coinciding with the first axis, the support structure having an outer portion and an inner portion forming the periphery of the central hollow;
- a turbine assembly movably coupled to and configured to be supported from the inner portion of the support structure to enable rotational displacement thereof along the periphery of the central hollow and about the first axis;
- and
- a guide vane assembly coupled to the outer portion of the support structure for circumscribing the support structure, the guide vane assembly comprising a plurality of guide vanes positionable for guiding fluids impinging thereupon towards the turbine assembly to thereby rotationally displace the turbine assembly about the first axis.
