Generator system

摘要

A generator system fluidly connected between a first preexisting pipe and a second preexisting pipe comprising a generator with a first preexisting pipe flange and a second preexisting pipe flange, without forming any holes in the first and second preexisting pipes. A first and second generator flange for engaging a non-magnetic section of pipe and the preexisting pipes and a plurality of coils secured to the non-magnetic section of pipe. A plurality of rare earth magnets secured to an outer surface of a rotating drum or a propeller and configured to energize the plurality of coils. At least one radial bearing, a thrust bearing and a junction box electrically connected to the plurality of coils for receiving energy produced by the plurality of coils and for transmitting a current.

1. A generator system with a generator fluidly connected between a first preexisting pipe with a first preexisting pipe inner diameter and a second preexisting pipe with a second preexisting pipe inner diameter for flowing a fluid, the generator comprising:
a. a first preexisting pipe flange with a first plurality of fasteners, the first preexisting pipe flange engaging the first preexisting pipe without forming any holes in the first preexisting pipe; b. a second preexisting pipe flange with a second plurality of fasteners, the second preexisting pipe flange engaging the second preexisting pipe without forming any holes in the second preexisting pipe; c. a non-magnetic section of pipe having a non-magnetic section of pipe inner diameter; d. a first generator flange engaging simultaneously the non-magnetic section of pipe and the first preexisting pipe flange without forming any holes in the non-magnetic section of pipe; e. a second generator flange engaging simultaneously the non-magnetic section of pipe and the second preexisting pipe flange without forming any holes in the non-magnetic section of pipe; f. a plurality of coils circumferentially secured on the non-magnetic section of pipe for generating current; g. a rotating drum mounted within the non-magnetic section of pipe, the rotating drum comprising a plurality of angled blades, the rotating drum longitudinally extending within the non-magnetic section of pipe; h. a plurality of rare earth magnets circumferentially secured to the rotating drum, the plurality of rare earth magnets configured to energize the plurality of coils; i. a first bearing positioned in the non-magnetic section of pipe at a downstream location to the rotating drum, wherein the first bearing is either an angular contact bearing or a radial bearing with a thrust bearing; j. a second bearing positioned in the non-magnetic section of pipe at an upstream location to the rotating drum; k. a pair of annular rings mounted to the non-magnetic section of pipe, the pair of angular rings configured for containing the at least one first bearing and the rotating drum within the non-magnetic section of pipe, each annular ring is configured with an aerodynamic shape to optimize gas flow through the generator; and l. a junction box electrically connected to the plurality of coils for receiving energy produced by the plurality of coils and transmitting the current; and
wherein the fluid flows through the first preexisting pipe towards the second preexisting pipe causing the plurality of angled blades to turn the rotating drum which rotates magnetic flux energizing the plurality of coils generating the current of sufficient energy to produce at least 200 watts continuously, and further wherein a sleeve mounted in the non-magnetic section of pipe redirects the magnetic flux generated by the plurality of magnetic coils.
