A baffle device for use in a drilling sub assembly, the baffle device including an upper chamber for receiving a drilling fluid, the upper chamber having a window through which the drilling fluid exits the upper chamber, the window being in fluid communication with a fluid channel forming a groove on an outer surface of the baffle, the fluid channel having an exit though which the drilling fluid exits the baffle. In general, the exit of the fluid channel is aligned with a downstream turbine unit, such that the turbine unit is rotated by the drilling fluid exiting the baffle. The present invention further includes various modifications to control the velocity at which the drilling fluid exits the baffle.
