A turbine with an associated shaftless electric generator includes a rotor and a stator; a mounting plate rotatable with the rotor and a void along a central axis of the rotor. A plurality of blades extend from the mounting plate. Adjustable bearings are interposed between the rotor and the stator, the adjustable bearings being configured to support the mounting plate and the plurality of blades. A threaded adjustor rod located in the void may be manipulated to adjust tension on the adjustable bearings.

A dispensing closure system includes an upper closure portion and a lower closure portion including an axial flow conduit and a vent conduit. The upper closure portion is axially movable relative to lower closure portion between shipping and dispensing positions. A seal is disposed on the lower closure portion over the flow and vent conduits. A peripheral spacing strip is removably secured to the upper closure portion and engages with either the lower closure or the outside of the container to prevent movement. A piercing probe includes piercing elements in alignment with the flow and vent conduits for piercing the seal. In the shipping position, the piercing elements are spaced from the seal. However, when the spacing strip is removed and the upper closure portion is axially moved to the dispensing position, the piercing elements pierce the seal to open the flow conduit and the vent conduit.

An extruder hood configured to operate in a steady-state configuration and a non-steady-state configuration. The extruder hood comprises an air inlet, an extruder hood outlet, and an extruder discharge zone within an interior space of the extruder hood, with the extruder discharge zone configured to receive extruded material. In the steady-state configuration, the extruder hood is configured to direct air received from the air inlet across the extruder discharge zone to cause extruded material to be ejected from the extruder hood via the extruder hood outlet. In the non-steady-state configuration, the extruder hood is configured to direct air received from the air inlet out of the extruder hood via the extruder outlet without being directed across the extruder discharge zone.
