Abstract
A turbine system includes a housing with a fluid inlet, a fluid outlet, and a rotational mount, and a turbine mounted on the rotational mount. The turbine comprises a first disk with a through-hole, a plurality of first foils arranged radially, and a last disk with a smaller through-hole and. The first foils define a fluid path from the fluid inlet to the fluid outlet. The design allows for efficient fluid flow and rotation of the turbine about the axis, providing an effective and reliable turbine system for various applications.

A turbine system, comprising:
- a first disk coaxial with a rotational axis defined by a first disk radius, a first disk thickness, and a first through-hole coaxial with the rotational axis and having a first through-hole radius;
- a plurality of first foils arranged in a first radial pattern about the rotational axis, each first foil of the plurality of first foils having a leading edge, a trailing edge, an upper surface, and a lower surface and defined by a first foil thickness;
- and
- a last disk coaxial with the rotational axis defined by a last disk radius, a last disk thickness, and a last through-hole coaxial with the rotational axis and having a last through-hole radius.
