  • Patent number: 9593665
    Abstract: A turbine wheel designed to exploit the head of watercourses that operates partially or totally submerge with means for a wheel mounting enclosure having a cavity equal to 50% of the height of the runner where the runner rest exposing the upper end into the bed of the flowing body of water and said cavity mask the runner from the water incident flow allowing the wheel to perform fully submerged gaining its power and momentum through water current acting upon an array of multifaceted cells attached to spokes radiating from a central circular body member to the outer perimeter of a wheel, distributed wall-to-wall occupying the peripheral annulus of the water stream always presenting a new facet as it rotate around it axis covering 180 degrees of the water incident flow. The outside surface of the runner attaches to a multiplicity of similar runners by means of mechanical devices and to the central circular body member.

  • Publication number: 20110080002
    Abstract: A hydroelectric system in which by using a controlled environment within a large container filled with fluids, with means for controlling the dynamic velocity of the complete volume of fluids within the container. This is accomplished by moving the stagnant fluid from a plurality of regions through a plurality of thrust regions where the fluid is discharged to a plurality of regions of the dynamic surface of the same container. The dynamic surface accelerates the complete volume of fluid within the container to proximate the velocity produced by the layers of accelerated fluid from the stagnant regions through the thrust regions. A plurality of waterwheels properly distributed within the container, harvest the kinetic energy within the moving fluids, converting the energy to mechanical energy and transferring the torque created to other components that amplifies the designed revolutions per minutes (RPM) achieved within the container, to a designed RPM for the generation of green electric power.

  • Publication number: 20110081250
    Abstract: A hydrodynamic impulse waterwheel turbine designed to exploit the head of watercourses. The waterwheel is contained within a wheel well mass housing enclosure, which maintains half of said waterwheel out of the water stream, wherein a multiplicity of interlocking inner wheels, with a novel designed of multifaceted cells, uniformly spaced within the periphery and the interior of said waterwheel, will turn in relationship to the waterwheel axis, presenting a new facet of the cell to the incoming water flow as it turns, increasing their efficiency exponentially, referred to as the actual water inflow rate to the plant per unit of time and the actual available head. The space between the cells is maintained vertically and horizontally but the location of the cells are offset in relationship to the cell immediately in front, allowing the free flow of the water throughout the waterwheel maintaining the waterwheel turning at the same velocity of the water stream.
