    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-geometry_turbocharger

    The turbine's vanes rotate in unison, relative to its hub, to vary its pitch and cross-sectional area. VNTs offer higher flow rates and higher peak efficiency compared to other variable geometry designs. [3] Sliding Wall Turbines are commonly found in heavy-duty engines. The vanes do not rotate, but instead, their effective width is changed ...

    Even though there is no generally accepted term for these open-flow hydro turbines, some sources refer to them as water-current turbines. There are three main types of water current turbines that might be considered: axial-flow horizontal-axis propellers (with both variable-pitch or fixed-pitch), underwater kites and cross-flow Darrieus rotors ...
