Abstract: A rotor having at least two vanes includes a plurality of elongated arched support ribs rigidly connecting at axially spaced intervals to a shaft of the turbine. The arched support ribs are disposed transverse to the shaft and provide a mating face to connect to the entire inner face of the vane. A method of forming the rib is further included.

Abstract: A rotor having at least two flightings includes a plurality of elongated support ribs rigidly interconnecting at axially spaced intervals, the outer edge of a first flighting with the inner edge of the other flighting, the ribs having a connecting boss at a distal end and a balancing mass intermediate a proximal end and the distal end. A method of forming the rib is further included.

Abstract: A linear power station, includes a turbine array comprised of a plurality of turbines, the turbines for harnessing the power of a moving fluid and each respective turbine being rotatable about a fixed axis of rotation by fluid flow that is omnidirectional with respect to the turbine, and a generator array comprised of at least one generator, the at least one generator being operably coupled to the turbine array for being rotated by the respective plurality of turbines of the turbine array. A method of producing electrical power is further included.
