Abstract
A turbine for use in extracting energy from fluid flowing along a fluid channel defines a portion of the fluid channel and includes a flow pathway in communication with the fluid channel. A moveable element, such as a rotor, is disposed around the fluid channel and is moveable under the action of fluid flowing along the flow pathway so as to extract energy therefrom. The turbine may be associated with other apparatus in the fluid system, and may be capable of storing extracted energy for later use.
