Abstract
A turbine apparatus for providing support peripherally for a turbine rotor having either a vertical or horizontal axis of rotation. The present invention includes a plurality of blades distributed about the rotor, the blades across their width being shaped and angularly pitched to the flow of air therebetween to effect rotation of the rotor and the blades defining a peripheral boundary of the rotor. A support system for the blades includes a support ring concentric with the turbine axis of rotation and adjacent to the peripheral boundary of the rotor. A support mechanism for each blade includes a support assembly mounted in rotational supporting association with the support ring so that the mass and forces generated by each blade is substantially supported at the peripheral boundary of the rotor by the support ring.
