A propeller having a means for creating fluid flow in a non-axial direction and redirecting it in an axial direction.

A propeller having a plurality of blades extending radially outward from a hub, the blades forming a loop. Each loop having an intake portion, an exhaust portion and a tip portion extending radially outward from the hub and a gap between the intake root and the exhaust root. The tip portion of each of the blades is 30%-75% of the blade, the tip portion beginning at a first deviation from zero of the roll value and extending to 90 degrees, wherein roll value is zero in a plane parallel to the hub axis, and wherein the blades have a vertical angle between −45 degrees and 45 degrees throughout.

A wind turbine assembly comprising a cantilever support, a rotor assembly having a rotor hub rotatably coupled to the cantilever support, and a plurality of rotors radially arranged about and coupled to the rotor hub is provided. Each rotor includes a rotor arm defining an arm axis, a blade element, and an adjustment mechanism coupled between the rotor arm and the blade element. The blade element has a concave face portion and defines a target axis. The adjustment mechanism is movable between a first rake angle defined between the first arm axis and the target axis, and a second rake angle to position each of the blade elements relative to each other.
