A high efficiency turbine system which can increase a pressure differential between an upstream location and a downstream location. The turbine system includes a propeller attached to a shaft, which can both be located in a shroud. The shroud includes a projection, such as a brim, which protrudes inward and/or outward from the shroud. The projection includes brim units arranged asymmetrically and/or in repeating patterns to generate various vortex and swirl patterns. The brim units can have a different size, shape, width, and/or height than an adjacent brim unit. The brim units can be arranged in a non-parallel manner and can be rotatable. Furthermore, the brim units can form brim groups which can be arranged asymmetrically and/or in repeating patterns to generate various swirl patterns. The turbine system can also be used in a renewable energy system, which can be used to power electronic devices.

1. A turbine system comprising: a shroud;a propeller located inside the shroud and having an axis of rotation; andan asymmetrical projection continuously protruding from a perimeter of the shroud and substantially perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the propeller. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the asymmetrical projection includes a plurality of asymmetrical brim units. 3. The system of claim 2, wherein each of the asymmetrical brim units is arranged in a non-parallel manner to an adjacent asymmetrical brim unit. 4. The system of claim 2, wherein each of the asymmetrical brim units has a different shape, height, width, or length than an adjacent asymmetrical brim unit. 5. The system of claim 2, wherein the asymmetrical brim units protrude from the shroud in an asymmetrical and repeating manner. 6. The system of claim 2, wherein each of the asymmetrical brim units is rotatable about an axis substantially perpendicular to the perimeter of the shroud. 7. The system of claim 1, wherein the asymmetrical projection includes a plurality of asymmetrical brim groups arranged in a repetition pattern, wherein each of the plurality of asymmetrical brim groups includes a first asymmetrical brim unit and a second asymmetrical brim unit adjacent the first asymmetrical brim unit. 8. The system of claim 1, wherein the asymmetrical projection protrudes in an outward direction from the perimeter of the shroud. 9. The system of claim 1, wherein the asymmetrical projection protrudes in an inward direction from the perimeter of the shroud. 10. The system of claim 1, wherein the asymmetrical projection protrudes in an outward and an inward direction from the perimeter of the shroud. 11. A turbine system comprising: a shroud;a propeller located inside the shroud and having an axis of rotation; andan asymmetrical projection continuously protruding from a perimeter of the shroud and substantially perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the propeller, wherein the asymmetrical projection includes a plurality of asymmetrical brim groups, each of the plurality of asymmetrical brim groups including a first asymmetrical brim unit and a second asymmetrical brim unit adjacent the first asymmetrical brim unit. 12. The system of claim 11, wherein the plurality of asymmetrical brim groups are formed in repeating pattern. 13. The system of claim 11, wherein the first asymmetrical brim unit and the second asymmetrical brim unit are rotatable about an axis substantially perpendicular to the perimeter of the shroud. 14. The system of claim 11, wherein the first asymmetrical brim unit and the second asymmetrical brim unit are arranged in a non-parallel manner. 15. The system of claim 11, wherein the first asymmetrical brim unit and the second asymmetrical brim unit have different shapes. 16. The system of claim 11, wherein the first asymmetrical brim unit and the second asymmetrical brim unit have different heights. 17. The system of claim 11, wherein the first asymmetrical brim unit and the second asymmetrical brim unit have different widths or lengths. 18. A renewable energy system comprising: a shroud;a propeller located inside the shroud and having an axis of rotation; andan asymmetrical projection continuously protruding from a perimeter of the shroud and substantially perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the propeller, wherein the asymmetrical projection includes a plurality of asymmetrical brim groups formed in a repeating pattern, each of the plurality of asymmetrical brim groups including a first asymmetrical brim unit and a second asymmetrical brim unit adjacent the first asymmetrical brim unit. 19. The system of claim 18, wherein the first asymmetrical brim unit and the second asymmetrical brim unit are rotatable about an axis substantially perpendicular to the perimeter of the shroud. 20. The system of claim 18, wherein the first asymmetrical brim unit and the second asymmetrical brim unit are arranged in a non-parallel manner and have different shapes, have different heights, have different widths, or have different lengths.
