Abstract

A gas turbine apparatus may include one or more driving shafts; a compressor configured to receive power from the one or more driving shafts, suck air, and compress the sucked air at high pressure. The gas turbine may include a combustor configured to mix the compressed air with fuel, and combust the fuel mixture to generate combustion gas. A turbine is connected to the one or more driving shafts and is configured to rotate while the combustion gas passes through the turbine. The turbine may include one or more first turbine blades configured to rotate in a first direction and one or more second turbine blades configured to rotate in a second direction opposite to the first direction. The one or more first turbine blades and the one or more second turbine blades may be alternately arranged along an axial direction of the turbine.
