The present invention relates to improving the efficiency of a helical fan/pump/propeller/turbine such as is described in PCT/NZ2018/050010. Further to the discovery that specific longitudinal limits are critical to define the first opening in relation to the helical fan/pump/propeller/turbine, it was found that certain lateral limits are also critical. Thus the configuration of the first opening and the helical blade cooperate according to both longitudinal and lateral limits to improve results. This was found to be the case in many applications whether the rotor is mechanically rotated or rotated by an external energy such as wind. In fact, common features such as this can enable the invention to switch between applications in some cases. The present invention also relates to a second opening longitudinally offset from the intake opening and an elongate stator extending from the rotor that is shaped according to the desired flow path
