  • Patent number: 8154145
    Abstract: A flow energy installation with a roller-like rotor (1) is presented. The roller-like rotor (1) rotates about an axis (A1) and has a plurality of rotor blades (2). One of the rotor blades (2), a plurality of the rotor blades (2) or all rotor blades (2) have associated with themselves at least one efficiency-improving fluid conducting fin (3) which in the direction of rotation is arranged upstream or downstream of the rotor blade (2). The rotor (1) is at least partly surrounded by at least one efficiency-improving diffuser element. The flow energy installation can be operated with liquid and/or gaseous media at any desired orientation of the axis (A1).
