1. An electricity generating assembly, comprising:
- a first turbine having a first plurality of fan blades;
a first rotor connected to said first turbine and rotatable with said first turbine;
a second turbine having a second plurality of fan blades;
a second rotor connected to said second turbine and rotatable with said second turbine; and
said first and second turbines being rotatably connected to a shaft such that rotation of the first and second turbines causes rotation of said shaft, said first and second turbines rotating in opposite directions.

Abstract
An electricity generating assembly includes a first turbine having a first plurality of fan blades and a second turbine having a second plurality of fan blades. A first rotor is connected to the first turbine and rotatable with the first turbine. A second rotor is connected to the second turbine and is rotatable with the second turbine. The first and second turbines are rotatably connected to a shaft such that rotation of the first and second turbines cause rotation of the shaft, wherein the first and second turbines rotate in opposite directions.
