A transverse flow turbine used to harness power from a flowing fluid. The turbine has shield means on one side of the rotor and a channel extending from the upstream side of the rotor to the downstream side of the rotor and directing fluid flow onto the downstream side of the rotor in order to augment the flow to the turbine. The turbine may be mounted on a vehicle to harness the power from a moving vehicle, and acting as a rear damper to assist the wheel adhesion to the road. The turbine may be a fixed wind turbine. The turbine blades have a double curved shape (fig. 1). |
