A cross-flow turbine, also called a Banki-Michell turbine or Ossberger turbine, is a water turbine credited to the Australian engineer Anthony Michell, the Hungarian Donat Banki and the German Fritz Ossberger. Michell patented his design in 1903 and it was made for many years by the Weymouth company; Ossberger received his first patent in 1933 and made the turbine a standard product of his own firm, which today, still carrying his name, remains the leading manufacturer of this turbine type.
