An electricity generating turbine powered by fluid flow comprises a cylindrical housing with rotors 1a-1e provided therein. Fluid flow through the cylinder turns the rotors causing electricity to be generated. Prior to exiting the rear of the housing the fluid flows through fixed 12 and moveable 14 sound and turbulence attenuating screens comprising barbed netting. The barbed betting may have a feathery characteristic (see figure F). The moveable screens may redirect fluid flow to cool internal components of the turbine. The housing may pivot, with directional fins 11 assisting in turning the housing into the wind. In some embodiments the turbine is fixed to a vehicle or aircraft (see figures H and G), with movement of the vehicle/aircraft causing fluid flow through the cylinder. The fluid is preferably air, and the housing preferably has bird deterring lights 8. The fluid may alternatively be water. |
