A rotary, fluid-flow-to-mechanical/electrical power-conversion device including a generally cup-shaped, squirrel-cage rotor having a rotational axis, and including plural, circumferentially spaced, elongate, transverse-cross-sectionally arcuate airfoil (fluid-foil) blades sized and disposed about the rotational axis of the rotor with their respective long axes substantially paralleling the mentioned rotational axis. Blade-related dimensions and spacings are chosen whereby the ratio of blade-to-blade circumferential spacing a to blade transverse chord length b is characterized as one which: (a) resides in the general range of about 0.24 to about 0.4; or (b) resides, more preferably, within the somewhat narrower subrange of about 0.25 to about 0.35 within the mentioned general range; or (c) has, even more preferably (for use in many if not most circumstances), a value of about 0.33.

1. A rotary, fluid-flow-to-mechanical/electrical power-conversion device comprising a generally cup-shaped, squirrel-cage rotor having a rotational axis, a flow-facing front ring, and plural, circumferentially spaced, elongate, transverse-cross-sectionally arcuate airfoil blades having long axes, and attached to said ring in a manner which accommodates angular-rotational feathering of the blades of about their respective long axes, said blades further having leading and trailing edges, and being sized and disposed about the rotational axis of the rotor with their respective long axes substantially paralleling said rotational axis, andselected dimensioning in said rotor whereby the ratio of blade-to-blade, trailing-edge-to-leading-edge spacing a to blade transverse chord length b resides in a general range of about 0.24 to about 0.4. 2. A rotary, fluid-flow-to-mechanical/electrical power-conversion devise comprising a generally cup-shaped, squirrel-cage rotor having a rotational axis, a flow-facing front ring, and plural, circumferentially spaced, elongate, transverse-cross-sectionally arcuate airfoil blades haying long axes, and attached to said ring in a manner which accommodates angular-rotational feathering of the blades of about their respective long axes, said blades further having leading and trailing edges, and being sized and disposed about the rotational axis of the rotor with their respective long axes substantially paralleling said rotational axis, andselected dimensioning in said rotor whereby the ratio of blade-to-blade, trailing-edge-to-leading-edge spacing a to blade transverse chord length b resides within a general range of about 0.24 to about 0.4 with a value of about 0.33. 3. A rotary, fluid-flow-to-rotational-mechanical power-conversion device comprising a generally cup-shaped, squirrel-cage rotor having a rotational axis, a flow-facing front ring, and plural, circumferentially spaced, elongate, transverse-cross-sectionally arcuate airfoil blades having long axes, and attached to said ring in a manner which accommodates angular-rotational feathering of the blades of about their respective long axes, said blades further having leading and trailing edges, and being sized and disposed about the rotational axis of the rotor with their respective long axes substantially paralleling said rotational axis, andselected dimensioning in said rotor whereby the ratio of blade-to-blade, trailing-edge-to-leading-edge spacing a to blade transverse chord length b resides in the general range of about 0.24 to about 0.4.
