Several synergistic improvements to a prime mover Dynamo including: A three-lobed rotor that is more efficient yet uncomplicated and easy to produce. A rotor lobe with additional reaction surfaces near the tip to increase the angle of rotation that produces power. A "flow through" rotor having end plates that facilitate mounting more than one rotor on a common axis with rotationally varied timing and sequence, such that power delivery is smooth. A flow shielding and directing device that increases the efficiency of reaction surface rotors mounted on a common axis by blocking flow to the back side of reaction surfaces, and extracting stagnant fluid through vanes that are energized by redirected free stream fluid flow, whereby increased torque and smother operation are evident verses typical prime mover dynamos. Two sets of rotationally timed rotors rotating in opposing directions on a common axis with electrical current generating equipment mounted on each set such that the relative rotational velocity of the generating elements is the sum of the rotational velocity of both rotors; whereby the generating equipment is more compact and costs less. Possibilities include replacement or augmentation of: existing electrical energy prime mover dynamos, air compressing, pumping, milling, and other power needs. The dynamo can be built using low-tech, low-cost materials and methods, and is inherently resistant to over speed and damage from periodically high velocity fluid flow.
