ABSTRACT:
The disclosure relates to a turbine having a rotor rotatable on a generally horizontal axis; the rotor being emersed in liquid and being driven upward by rising gasses on an ascending portion of the rotor and also being driven by downward falling liquid within the descending portion of the rotor and the rotor being constructed in such a manner as to provide substantial liquid sealing between the rotor and arcuate housing seal structure and walls, thereby minimizing blow-by or detour of the gasses around the rotor; the housing in its lower portion having a gas inlet and the housing in its upper portion having a gas liquid condenser and the housing being provided with means for maintaining a constant liquid level therein above said rotor.
