  • Turbine system and method
    Patent number: 9874197
    Abstract: Some embodiments of a turbine system described herein provide a turbine that rotates in response to fluid flow, and include a rampart device that remains relatively stationary compared to the turbine and is shaped to affect fluid flow for effective power generation. The rotation of the turbine can drive a generator to output electrical energy.

  • Turbine system and method
    Patent number: 9291146
    Abstract: Some embodiments of a turbine system described herein provide a turbine that rotates in response to off-axis fluid flow, such as water flowing in a generally horizontal direction that is generally perpendicular to a vertical axis of rotation. The rotation of the turbine can drive a generator to output electrical energy.
