Fluid energy apparatus and method

摘要

A preferred embodiment includes a system for power generation through movement of fluid having a variety of configurations and implementations. One preferred embodiment includes a system for power generation through movement of fluid includes a power generating cell with a generally cylindrical housing a ring for rotating disposed in said housing, one or more impellers fixedly coupled to said ring, and a generator operably coupled to said ring for receiving energy from the one or more impellers in which fluid is disposed about one or more impellers for creating energy.

主权项

1. A machine for power generation through the impoundment of water comprising:
A selectively blockable frame having an open and closed position disposed within a gate, wherein said gate impounds water; a turbine disposed within said frame; said turbine operably engaged to a generator mounted on said gate; said turbine is positioned to receive energy from the impoundment of water when said frame is in an unblocked position, wherein said turbine and generator generate energy by the movement of said water through said turbine and the rotation of the turbine.
