Abstract
A double turbine, includes: a rotatable deflector disc including a first base plate and a second base plate facing opposing directions along an axis of rotation; a first plural number of first vanes each pivotally mounted on the first base plate and uniformly spaced around the axis of rotation by a vane spacing angle; a second plural number of second vanes each pivotally mounted on the second base plate, and uniformly spaced around the axis of rotation by the vane spacing angle, the second plural number being equivalent to the first plural number; wherein each first vane is angularly positioned with respect to the rotation axis as between two second vanes. Multiple such double turbines can be stacked with a progressive helical twist such that each one double turbine is offset from at least one adjacent double turbine by a common twist angle with respect to the axis of rotation.
