DETAILED DESCRIPTION [0017] ItistobeunderstoodthatthefolloWingdisclosure describes several exemplary embodiments for implementing different features, structures, or functions of the invention. Exemplary embodiments of components, arrangements, and con?gurations are described beloW to simplify the present disclosure; hoWever, these exemplary embodiments are pro vided merely as examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Additionally, the present disclosure may repeat reference numerals and/or letters in the various exemplary embodiments and across the Figures provided herein. This repetition is for the purpose of simplicity and clarityanddoesnotinitselfdictatearelationshipbetWeenthe various exemplary embodiments and/or con?gurations dis cussed in the various Figures. Moreover, the formation of a ?rst feature over or on a second feature in the description that folloWs may include embodiments in Which the ?rst and second features are formed in direct contact, and may also include embodiments in Which additional features may be formedinterposingthe?rstandsecondfeatures,suchthatthe ?rstandsecondfeaturesmay notbeindirectcontact.Finally, the exemplary embodiments presented beloW may be com bined inany combination ofWays, i.e.,any element from one exemplaryembodimentmay beusedinanyotherexemplary embodiment,Withoutdepartingfromthescopeofthedisclo sure. [0018] Additionally,certaintermsareusedthroughoutthe folloWing description and claims to refer to particular com ponents. As one skilled in the art Will appreciate, various entitiesmayrefertothesamecomponentbydifferentnames, and as such, the naming convention for the elements described herein is not intended to limit the scope of the invention, unless otherWise speci?cally de?ned herein. Fur ther, the naming convention used herein is not intended to distinguish betWeen components that differ in name but not function. Further, in the folloWing discussion and in the claims,theterms“including”and“comprising”areusedinan open-ended fashion, and thus should be interpreted to mean “including, but not limited to.” All numerical values in this disclosure may be exact or approximate values unless other Wise speci?cally stated. Accordingly, various embodiments ofthedisclosuremay deviatefromthenumbers,values,and ranges disclosed herein Without departing from the intended scope. Furthermore, as it is used in the claims, the term “or” is intended to encompass both exclusive and inclusive cases, i.e.,“A orB” isintendedtobe synonymous With“atleastone ofA andB,”unlessotherWiseexpresslyspeci?edherein. [0019] FIG.1illustratesanenergyconversionsystem10, Whichmay includearadialturbinesystem12thatutiliZesan oscillating ?uid column, such as an oscillating Water column (“OWC”) 14. In one or more embodiments, a generator 16 may be operably coupled to the radial turbine system 12; hoWever, in other embodiments, the radial turbine system 12 maybecoupledtoacompressor(notshoWn)oranyother devicethatcanusefullyreceiverotationalenergy.The OWC 14 may be part ofa body ofWater 18, such as an ocean or lake, themovementofWhichcausestheOWC 14tooscillatever tically,risingandfallingasindicatedby arroW20.TheOWC 14 oscillates in a Wave chamber 22 de?ned by a generally tubular structure 24, thereby acting as a piston to drive a motive?uid, suchasairinthevacantareaoftheWave cham ber22abovetheOWC14,throughtheradialturbinesystem 12, and into or out of a radial port 13. [0020] FIGS.2and3,WithadditionalreferencetoFIG.1, illustrate an exemplary embodiment of the radial turbine sys tem12.Theradialturbinesystem12may de?neavertically extending center axis 26 along Which a shaft 38 is disposed, and may include an annular housing 28 extending upWard from an annular top portion 24a of the tubular structure 24. A cap 30 (FIG. 3) may be axially spaced from the upper end of theannularhousing28,may de?neahorizontally-extending upper surface 30a on Which the generator 16 (FIG. 1) is mounted,andmay alsode?neahorizontally-extendingloWer surface 30b. As any directional terms, such as “upper,” “loWer,”“vertical,”or“horizontal”areusedherein,theygen erally refer merely to a relative position or direction of one componentWithrespecttoanother.ItWillthusbeappreciated thatachangeinorientationoftheentiresystemWillnotaffect such relative positioning betWeen components, and is thus Within the scope of this disclosure. [0021] Anannularmember32maybedisposedaroundthe shaft 38 and may extend radially-inward from the annular housing 28. The annular member 32 may include a loWer, outer angularly-extending portion 32a, a loWer, inner angu larly-extending portion 32b, and curved transition portion 320 extending therebetWeen. The annular member 32 may further include an upper, outer angularly-extending portion 32d, an upper, inner angularly-extending portion 32e, and an angled transition portion 32f extending therebetWeen. The upper, inner angularly-extending portion 32e and the loWer, inner angularly-extending portion 32b may converge pro ceeding radially-inWard and may meet atthe radially-inWard terminus of the annular member 32. [0022] Inoneormoreembodiments,theradialturbinesys tem 12 may also include a base 34. The base 34 may include aloWerdisk34apositionedsothattheannulartopportion24a ofthetubularstructure24may generallyextendaround,and may be generally concentric With, the loWer disk 34a. An upper, annular disk member 34b may be axially spaced from thedisk34aandmay de?neahorizontally-extendingsurface 34ba.
