SYSTEM FOR GENERATING ELECTRICITY FROM FLUID CURRENTS

摘要

A system for generating electricity from fluid currents having one or mor e trolleys (2) that move along a closed-loop track (1) as a result of the ac tion of fluid currents on one or more blades (11) attached to each trolley ( 2). Spacing between trolleys (2) is preferably maintained by a spacing ring (13) to which the trolleys (2) are attached. Optionally, one or more blades (11) may be attached to the spacing ring (13). The trolleys (2) are supporte d and guided either by wheels (4) or magnetic levitation (5). Electrical ene rgy is preferably created by the movement of magnets (14) in an electrical r ing (15) attached to the trolleys (2) with respect to a conductor (16) conne cted to the track (1).
