A fluid-powered rotor including one or more circular flow plates an an energy-transferring means, for example, an axle. Each circular flow plate has a circumferential groove near its outer edge with an inlet end and an outlet. The outlet is a through-hole in the circular flow plate and, in the case of a plurality of circular flow plates, is aligned with and connected to the inlet end of the groove in the adjacent downstream circular flow plate. Viscous drag of a fluid passing through the grooves rotates the circular flow plates to produce work.
