An energy conversion system having two or more enclosures supported in a vertically-stacked configuration by an enclosure support. The enclosures are airfoil-shaped and enclose multiple oppositely-rotating fluid turbines. Fluid directing structures formed in the enclosure direct fluid into and out of the enclosure, including through the turbines. The fluid directing structures are parallel slats formed into the enclosure.
