A fluid driven vertical axis turbine assembly 10 comprises a base 24 and a rotor rotatably mounted thereon, the rotor having at least two vertically extending hollow blades 12. A generator 14 is coupled to the rotor to generate electricity from the rotation thereof. The turbine assembly 10 further comprises at least one source of liquid 18, and a pump 32 which pumps the liquid into the hollow blades 12, the liquid being allowed to drain there from, to generate power, dependent on the rate of fluid flow across the rotor. The draining liquid may pass through nozzle jets which causes rotation of the rotor. Alternatively the draining liquid may generate power using a second generator. The interior of the hollow blades 12 may be separated into separate vertically arranged chambers, the flow of liquid to and from each chamber being independently controlled. The turbine rotor may be driven by wind or water, and the liquid pumped into the hollow blades 12 may be water. |
