A primary outer shell contains an impeller that draws electricity from a major wind stream. A mixer ejector pump is included that draws flow from the primary and secondary flows and promotes turbulent mixing. This enhances the power system by increasing air flow through the system, reducing back pressure on the turbine blades, and reducing noise propagation from the system. As used herein, the term "impeller" refers to any assembly in which a blade is attached to a rod and can be rotated to permit the generation of electricity or energy from the fluid that rotates the blades. An exemplary impeller includes a helical rotor/stator assembly. Any type of impeller can be enclosed within the turbine casing of the fluid turbine of the present invention. The end of the fluid turbine into which the gripper can be rotated to rotate the impeller can be viewed as the front face of the fluid thirst turbine, and the fluid can be viewed as the back of the fluid turbine at the end of the fluid turbine exiting the impeller. The -component of the fluid turbine located closer to the front of the thirteenth turbine can be viewed as 160360.doc 201233895 located "upstream" of the second component closer to the back of the turbine. In other words, the second component is in the "Downstream" of a component. The present invention relates to different configurations of a shell-and-shell fluid turbine. The fluid turbines can be used as a wind turbine or a water turbine. Figures j and 2 initially present some details of the shelled fluid turbine, which will help to discuss various aspects of the different configurations. The shelled fluid thirst turbine 100 includes a turbine casing 110 having an open power profile, An aerodynamically contoured hood 15 〇, an impeller 140 and an aerodynamically contoured ejector casing 12 〇. The branch housing 1〇6 connects the turbine housing 110 to the injector housing 12〇. The impeller 14A surrounds the hood 150, the hood 15 is passed through the impeller 14 or is coupled to the turbine casing 110 by other means. The turbine casing has a predominantly linear cross-sectional shape and the suction side (i.e., the low pressure side) is on the interior of the casing. The rear end 114 of the turbine casing also has a mixing vane 116. The mixing vanes extend downstream beyond the rotor blades. In other words, the turbine casing trailing edge 118 is formed by a plurality of mixing lobes 116. The back or downstream end of the turbine casing is shaped to form two different sets of mixing vanes 116. The high energy mixing leaf ι 17 extends inwardly toward the central axis 105 of the mixer housing. The low energy mixing vane n9 extends outwardly away from the central axis 105. These hybrid leaflets are more easily seen in Figure 2. A mixer ejector pump (indicated by reference numeral 01) includes an injector housing uo that surrounds the ring of mixing lobes 116 on the turret housing 110. The mixing vanes 116 extend downstream and into the injector housing 12 into one of 160360.doc 201233895 and 2. This mixer/injector pump provides a means for consistently exceeding the Betz limit of the operational efficiency of the fluid turbine. In an additional embodiment of the invention, the injection H outer casing completely surrounds the turbine peripheral. Typically, the turbine casing is located between the leading edge and the trailing edge of the injection H casing. Figures 3 through 6 are different views of an embodiment of the turbine housing & Here, the shelled fluid turbine 3 includes an impeller 34 turns around an engine casing 35. The impeller is depicted here as a rotor/stator assembly. The hood 35 has a trailing edge 352 which, in this embodiment, appears to be a tapered point. The impeller 34 is surrounded by a turbine casing 310. The injector housing 32 is so as to completely surround the turbine housing 310. The turbine casing 31 has a substantially circular shape at the leading edge 314. The front edge 324 of the injector housing 32 also has a substantially circular shape. The hood 350, the impeller 340, the turbine casing 310, and the ejector casing 320 are coaxial with each other, i.e., share a common axis. As can be seen in Figures 4 and 5, a plurality of mixing vanes 316 are present on the rear end of the turbine casing resulting in a serrated trailing edge 318. As seen in Figure 6, the turbine casing has a leading edge 314 and a trailing edge 318. Similarly, the injector housing has a leading edge 324 and a trailing edge 328. The turbine casing leading edge 314 is coplanar with the injector casing leading edge 324. In addition, the injector housing trailing edge 328 is downstream of the turbine housing trailing edge 318. The turbine casing trailing edge 318 is downstream of the impeller 340. The ejector casing 320 has a toroidal shape, i.e., has a cross-sectional shape of a superior linear shape and the suction side (i.e., the low pressure side) is on the interior of the ejector housing. Figures 7 through 9 are different views of the second exemplary embodiment of the injector housing completely surrounding the turbine casing. Here, the shelled fluid turbine 400 includes an impeller 440 that surrounds a hood 450. The impeller is depicted here as a rotor/stator assembly. The hood 450 has a trailing edge 452 which, in this embodiment, appears to be a tapered point. The impeller 440 is surrounded by a turbine casing 410. The injector housing 420 thus completely surrounds the turbine housing 410. The leading edge 414 of the turbine casing 410 has a substantially circular shape. The front edge 424 of the injector housing 420 also has a substantially circular shape. The hood 450, impeller 440, turbine casing 410, and injector casing 420 are coaxial with each other, i.e., share a common axis. As can be seen in Figure 8, the presence of a plurality of hybrid vanes 416 on the rear end of the turbine casing results in a serrated trailing edge 418. As seen in Figure 9, the turbine casing has a leading edge 414 and a trailing edge 418. Similarly, the injector housing has a leading edge 424 and a trailing edge 428. The turbine casing leading edge 414 is downstream of the injector casing leading edge 424. In addition, the injector housing trailing edge 428 is downstream of the turbine housing trailing edge 418. The turbine casing trailing edge 418 is downstream of the impeller 440. The injector housing 420 has a toroidal shape, i.e., has a cross-sectional shape of a superior linear shape and the suction side (i.e., the low pressure side) is on the interior of the injector housing. It should be noted that in Figure 6, the trailing edge 352 of the hood 350 is upstream of the trailing edge 328 of the injector housing 320. In Figure 9, the trailing edge 452 of the hood 450 is downstream of the trailing edge 428 of the injector housing 420. The engine 160360.doc -10- 201233895 The position of the trailing edge of the cover can vary. In other additional embodiments of the invention, the fluid turbine includes a turbine casing that includes a plurality of open slots downstream of the impeller. An "open slot" allows fluid to flow along an outer surface of one of the turbine casings to radially pass from the exterior to the interior of the turbine casing. The fluid thirteen turbine also includes an outer structure that directs fluid flow from outside the turbine casing through a plurality of open slots. Figures 10 through 12 show different views of one exemplary embodiment of such a fluid turbine. The shelled fluid turbine 5 includes an impeller 540 that surrounds a hood 55 。. The impeller is depicted here as a rotor/stator assembly. The hood 550 has a trailing edge 552 which, in this embodiment, appears to be tapered. The impeller 540 is surrounded by a turbine casing 510. In this embodiment, the injector housing 520 acts as an external structure for directing fluid flow. The leading edge 514 of the turbine casing 510 has a substantially circular shape. The front edge 524 of the injector housing 520 also has a substantially circular shape. The hood 550, impeller 540, turbine casing 510, and injector casing 520 are coaxial with each other, i.e., share a common axis. As seen in Figure 12, the turbine casing 510 has a toroidal shape and the suction side is on the interior of the tire casing. A plurality of open slots 560 are located downstream of the impeller 540. The open channel here is positioned along a trailing edge 504 of the fluid turbine. The turbine casing 510 and injector casing 520 are sealed to each other downstream of the open slots 560. In other words, the fluid turbine has only a trailing edge rather than the turbine casing and the injector casing having separate trailing edges as seen, for example, in the embodiment of Figure 2. A high energy fluid 568 flowing along an outer surface 517 of one of the turbines 160360.doc 201233895 shell 510 is directed by the injector housing 520 through the open slots 560. As depicted in Figure 12, the turbine casing leading edge 514 is coplanar with the injector casing leading edge 524. The injector leading edge 524 can be upstream of the turbine casing leading edge 514 (see Figure 9) or downstream of the turbine casing leading edge (see Figure 1). Similarly, the open slots 560 are shown positioned along the trailing edge 504 of the fluid turbine. This aspect is not required. Instead, the open slots 560 must be located downstream of the impeller 540. 13 through 15 show different views of another exemplary embodiment of a fluid turbine having one of the open slots. The shelled fluid turbine 600 includes an impeller 640 that surrounds a hood 650. The impeller is depicted here as a rotor/stator assembly. The impeller 640 is surrounded by a turbine casing 610. The leading edge 614 of the turbine casing 610 has a substantially circular shape. The hood 650, impeller 640, and turbine casing 610 are coaxial with each other, i.e., share a common coaxial. As can be seen in Figure 15, the turbine casing 610 has a toroidal shape and the suction side is on the interior of the turbine casing. A plurality of open slots 660 are located downstream of the impeller 640. In contrast to the embodiment of Figure 12, the open slot 660 herein is separated from the trailing edge 604 of the turbine casing. Here, the open grooves are regarded as having an elliptical shape, but in principle any shape can be used. A plurality of fluid conduits 670 are positioned along an outer surface 617 of the turbine casing. Each fluid conduit 670 includes an inlet 672 and an outlet 674. An outlet 674 of fluid conduit is coupled to one of the open slots 660 of the turbine housing. The inlet 672 is downstream of the inlet end 611 of the turbine casing and is also parallel to the inlet end 160360.doc -12- 201233895. 16 through 18 show different views of another exemplary embodiment of a fluid turbine similar to the fluid turbine of Figs. 13-15. This embodiment differs in that each fluid conduit 670 has a fluid conduit impeller 675. The fluid conduit impeller 675 is energized such that fluid is forced through the open slots 660 into the exhaust stream of the turbine casing. Figure 19 shows another configuration of a fluid turbine 800 similar to the fluid turbine of Figure 1 but having an external stator. The shelled fluid turbine 800 includes an impeller 840 that surrounds an engine casing 850. The impeller is depicted here as a rotor/stator assembly. Stator vanes 844 and rotor vanes 848 are visible. A turbine casing 810 surrounds the impeller 840. The turbine casing has a plurality of mixing vanes 816 that form a serrated trailing edge 818. The front edge 814 of the turbine casing 810 has a substantially circular shape. An injector housing 820 is downstream of the turbine housing 810. The mixing vanes 816 of the turbine casing extend downstream and into an inlet end 822 of the injector casing 820. The front edge 824 of the injector housing 820 also has a substantially circular shape. The hood 850, impeller 840, turbine casing 810, and injector casing 820 are coaxial with each other, i.e., share a common axis. The injector housing 820 has a toroidal shape, i.e., has a cross-sectional shape of a superior linear shape and the suction side (i.e., the low pressure side) is internal to the injector housing. A stator 880 is coupled to one of the outer surfaces 827 of the injector housing. The stator may also have a toroidal shape. The turbine casing and the ejector casing can be formed to be lightweight. Example 160360.doc 13 201233895 For example, they may be formed by covering a rigid frame or skeleton with a skin. The outer casings may comprise the same or different materials. The material used for the outer skin of the outer casing may comprise a polymeric film. Exemplary polymeric films comprise high density polyethylene (HDPE); such as polyethylene terephthalate (pET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) or poly(p-propylene succinate) (pTT) Polyester; and polyurethane film. Both aliphatic and aromatic polyurethanes can be utilized in conjunction with polyethers and polyester polyols. It is also possible to use a peroxygenated unsaturated polyester polymer in a glass matrix. The glass can be £ or § glass. A composite matrix may also contain an epoxy resin system to improve the strength of the composite. Other exemplary materials include multilayer films of polyethylene vapor (pvc), polyurethane, polyfluoropolymer, and the like. Retractable fabrics such as 'elastic silk type fabrics or fabric-containing polyurethane-polyurea copolymers can also be used. The polyurethane film is tough and has good weatherability. The polyester type polyurethane film tends to be more sensitive to hydrophilic deterioration than the poly-type polyurethane film. Aliphatic solutions for such polyurethane films are also generally UV resistant. Examples of non-polyfluoropolymers include polyvinylidene fluoride (pvDF) and polyvinyl fluoride (PVF). Commercial solutions are available under the trade names KYNAR.RTM· and TEDLAR.RTM. The Poran polymer generally has an extremely low surface energy compared to a material having a more surface energy. This allows the surface of the surface to be more free to maintain dirt and debris and to shed ice. The outer skin can be reinforced with a reinforcing material. Examples of reinforcing materials include, but are not limited to, fluorene crystalline polyethylene fibers, polyarylamine fibers, and polyamines. The outer skin may independently be a plurality of layers including one, two, three or more layers. Multiple 160360.doc • 14. 201233895 Layer construction adds strength, water resistance, uv stability and other functionalities. However, the multilayer construction may also be more expensive and add the weight of the overall fluid turbine. Film/fabric composites of the same backing (such as a foam) are also contemplated. Figures 1 through 2 and Figures 20 through 22 illustrate various additional aspects of different configurations of the shelled fluid turbine of the present invention. Similarly, the shelled fluid turbine 100 includes an aerodynamically contoured turbine casing 110, an aerodynamically contoured hood 15', an impeller 14A, and an aerodynamically contoured ejector casing 120. The turbine casing 11A includes a front end ι 2 and a rear end 114. The injector housing 12A includes an inlet end 122 and an exhaust end 124. A support member 1〇6 connects the turbine casing 11〇 to the injector casing 120. The impeller 140 surrounds the hood 15 〇. Here, the impeller is a rotor/stator assembly including a stator 142 having stator vanes 144 and a rotor Μ6 having one of the rotor blades 148. The rotor 146 is downstream of the stator vanes 144 and "walks" with the stator vanes 144. In other words, the leading edges of the rotor blades are substantially aligned with the trailing edges of the stator wheels f. The rotor blades are held by the inner ring and an outer ring (not visible) and the rotor 146 is mounted to the hood 150. The hood ls is connected to the (four) turbine casing 11G through the stator 142 or by other members. In some embodiments, a wicking channel 152 can also extend through the hood ls(). The area of the population of the turbine casing and the area of the exit σ will be equal to or greater than the area of the ring occupied by the ::Hai impeller. The inner flow path section I60360.doc 201233895 is formed by the ring between the hood and the inner surface of the turbine or the aerodynamic force to have a minimum cross-sectional area at the plane of the thirteen turbine and The mode changes smoothly from its respective entrance port plane to its exit port plane. The mouthpiece housing inlet area is greater than the exit port plane area of the full turbine casing. Several optional features may be included in the shelled fluid turbine. The auxiliary power output in the form of a wheel structure can be mechanically linked to a generator at one of the outer rims of the impeller. The sound absorbing material can be attached to the inner surface of the outer casing and absorb and prevent the propagation of relatively high frequency sound waves generated by the turbine. The fluid turbine may also contain a blade containment structure for added safety. The enclosures will have an aerodynamic profile to enhance the amount of flow into and through the system. The inlet and outlet regions of the housing may be non-circular in cross-section such that the housing is easily accommodated by aligning the two housings. One of the lower outer surfaces of the turbine may include a swivel for mounting a vertical bracket/hanger that allows the turbine to divert the fluid for maximum power draw. Vertical aerodynamic stabilizer vanes may be mounted on the exterior of the outer casing to assist in maintaining the turbine directed into the fluid. The area ratio of the ejector pump as defined by the ejector casing 12 〇 exit port area divided by the turbine casing 110 exit port area will be in the range of 15 to 3 。. The number of mixing lobes can be between 6 and 28. The height to width ratio of the lobes will be between 0.5 and 4.5. The depth of penetration of the mixed leaflets will be between 50% and 80%. The hood 15 〇 embolization trailing edge angle will be thirty degrees or less. The length to diameter (L/D) of the overall fluid turbine will be between 〇·5 and 1.25. Referring now to Figure 22, the turbine casing 11 has a plurality of nine high energy mixing lobes 117 extending inwardly toward a central axis 105 of the turbine 160360.doc 201233895. The turbine casing also has a plurality of nine low energy mixing vanes 119 extending axially outwardly from the center. The high energy mixing vanes alternate with the low energy mixing vanes to surround the trailing edge 118 of the turbine casing. The impeller 140, the turbine casing 11A and the injector casing 120 are coaxial with each other, i.e., they share a common central axis 105. As seen in Figure 2, the front edge 112 of the turbine casing 11 has a substantially circular shape. As seen in Figure 22, the turbine casing 11 has a circular zigzag shape at its trailing edge 118. The trailing edge can be described as comprising a plurality of inner circumferentially spaced arcuate portions 181, each having the same radius of curvature. The inner curved portions 181 are equally spaced from each other. Between the portions are a plurality of outer curved portions 183 which each have the same radius of curvature. The radius of curvature of the inner curved portion 181 is different from the radius of curvature of the outer curved portion 183, but the inner curved portion and the outer curved portion have the same center (ie, the inner curved portion is next to the central axis) The portion 181 and the outer curved portions 183 are then joined to each other by a radially extending portion 185. This results in a circular zigzag shape. The term "zigzag" as used herein does not require an inner portion or an outer arc. The shaped portion and the radially extending portion are straight lines, and conversely the upper end of the trailing edge is τ or the shape of the material. The (four)-shaped structure forms two sets of mixed vanes: a high-energy mixing vane 117 and a low-energy mixing (four) 119. The outer curved portion 183 is located in the outer plane, where the outer plane is indicated by the element symbol 190. The inner fox portion is erected in the inner plane, here indicated by the symbol 192, as seen from here.兮& τ 攸 砚 可见 , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , The 192 is also coaxial.
