Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide a fluid compressor comprising: a rotatable turbine mounted to a mast; a toroidal intersecting vane compressor (TIVC) characterized by a fluid intake opening and a fluid exhaust opening, wherein the rotation of the turbine drives the compressor. The combination of the TIVC and turbine permits good to excellent control over the hours of electrical power generation, thereby maximizing the commercial opportunity and meeting the public need during hours of high usage. Additionally, the invention avoids the need to place an electrical generator off-shore. Further, the apparatuses of the invention can be operated with good to excellent efficiency rates. |
