Abstract: A fluid turbine assembly includes a circular housing, one or more turbines placed inside the housing and configured to rotate about a rotational axis, the turbine including a rotor and a plurality of blades which protrude from an outer surface of the rotor, a funnel assembly configured to collect and compress fluid stream energy through a fluid inlet opening, and an intake ducting part of the funnel configured to direct the collected fluid stream energy into the housing and toward the turbine blades in a first direction, and to direct the collected fluid stream energy into the housing and toward the turbine blades in a second direction opposite the first direction at the same time. The funnel is configured to rotate on the same axis independently of the turbine blades.

Abstract: A wind turbine assembly include a housing, a turbine disposed in the housing and configured to rotate about an axis, the turbine including a rotor and a plurality of blades which protrude from an outer surface of the rotor, and a funnel configured to collect fluid stream energy through a fluid inlet opening and to direct at least a portion of the collected fluid stream energy into the housing and in a first direction toward the turbine, and the funnel and the housing are configured to rotate together about an axis independently of the turbine blades.
