A fluid driven electricity generator comprises a magnetic stator 18 and a rotor assembly, the rotor assembly comprising a rotor cylinder 19 attached around a vertical rotor shaft 10 and which is arranged to rotate within the magnetic stator 18, the generator also comprising rotor blades 24 which act to drive the generator when impacted upon by the fluid in any direction. The generator also comprises cooling means to prevent it from overheating. The rotor cylinder 19 may also be magnetic and may comprise windings and laminated iron plates. Preferably the generator is air (wind) driven. Also disclosed is a vehicle comprising the disclosed electricity generator, the generator being arranged to supply electricity to the vehicle (figures 11 and 12). |
