Abstract

Described herein are embodiments of a boundary layer effect turbine and a hydrodynamic speed reducer. Described is a boundary layer effect turbine that utilizes the phenomena of the boundary layer to drive a turbine impeller that is made of a plurality of spaced disks oriented along a rotatable shaft. As operating fluid is directed over surfaces of the plurality of disks of the boundary layer effect turbine, energy is transferred from the fluid to the disks as a result of the adhesive and viscous properties of the fluid.
