GENERATION OF ENERGY WITH FLUID

摘要

An apparatus for generating energy includes a conduit means (12) that defines an inlet (22), an outlet (24) and constriction (26). At least one turbine (38) is mounted on the conduit means (12) in or near the constriction (26). Each turbine (38) has a set of blade members mounted on a shaft. Each blade member is connected to the shaft and extends into the conduit means (12) on a line parallel to the shaft. The blade members are configured and oriented with respect to each other so that the blade members co-operate to produce rotation of the shaft when a fluid flows through the conduit means (12).
