Tunnel turbine system generates potential energy from dorment kinetic energy

Abstract

A generator system includes a pipe line which includes a control valve for diverting input gas or liquid into a pair of bypass pipe lines, whose output is coupled with two nozzle venture inlets in a turbine housing. Gas or liquid entering the turbine housing through the nozzle venture inlets rotates a turbine impellor having a generator shaft to generate energy. Gas or liquid exiting from the turbine housing, along with diverted input gas or liquid, pass through an ejector device which eliminates back pressure and restores any pressure loss.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

For transportation of stock (Gas or Liquid)—man has laid a Network of Pipe Line System in Pipe System—Velocity Pressure subsists as a vehicle for stock in transit. At destination the Pipe Line Network System terminates—Velocity Pressure therein simply evaporates and thereafter has No Kinetic Energy in Dormant state.

Whereas; stock (Gas or Liquid) in transit under Velocity Pressure in a Pipe Line Network System; has massive inherent Static Pressure and Kinetic Energy in Dorment state present in the Pipe Line System. Present Invention “Tunnel Turbine System” makes use of Kinetic Energy in Dorment state to activate Potential Energy Generation; before Pipe Line Network System terminates and Velocity Pressure evaporates; thus makes available vast Potential Energy Generation without incurring any Fuel Usage or Environment Pollution and numerous other beneficial advantages.
