A turbine includes a plurality of blades distributed about a hub and configured to rotate about an axis through the hub when subjected to a flowing fluid. The turbine further includes at least one fluid intake opening located near the hub. A proximal end of each of a plurality of conduits opens to the fluid intake opening. Each conduit extends toward one of the blades and includes at its distal end at least one fluid outlet configured to direct a fluid flow substantially parallel to a leading edge of the blade.
