A turbine includes a rotatable vessel and at least one outlet for discharging pressurized working fluid from the rotatable vessel to a lower pressure area to produce jet propulsion for rotating the rotatable vessel. The turbine may also include a shaft having a fluid passage extending through at least a portion thereof for delivering a pressurized working fluid through the shaft to the rotatable vessel. The turbine may further include a ring positioned generally around the vessel within the lower pressure area such that pressurized working fluid discharged from the vessel will contact the ring and rotate the ring in a direction generally opposite to a direction of rotation of the vessel. |
