Abstract:
1. A Wells turbine, comprising: a bidirectional rotor having essentially axial inflow, which maintains a revolution direction independently of a direction of an inflow; the bidirectional rotor comprising a huh having rotor blades, wherein the rotor blades are distributed over an outer circumference of the hub, point radially outward from the hub, and are designed as symmetrical to a rotation plane perpendicular to a rotational axis of the hub, and have a drop-shaped profile; the rotor blades comprising a threading line having a course in the rotation plane that deviates in relation to a radial beam associated with a respective one of the rotor blades at least in parts of a radial extension of the rotor blade, the threading line comprising at least one curved area; the threading line being led back in a radially outer part of the rotor blade to the radial beam and intersecting the radial beam at a radially outmost extension of the respective one of the rotor blades.
