  • Patent number: 8084878
    Abstract: A power plant with one or more fluid operated generator unit(s) is provided to generate electrical energy. Each generator unit includes one or more rotational members responsive to fluid flow and in communication with one or more magnets and electrically conductive material. Similarly, each generator unit is in electrical communication with a battery or a power grid used to store or utilize electrical energy, respectively. A continuous amount of external energy is required to initiate and maintain movement of the power plant. As the rotational element of the generator unit(s) is exposed to fluid flow, fluid flow causes the rotational element(s) to rotate. This rotation causes the magnets to pass by the electrically conductive material and to generate electrical energy. In response to continuous movement, the generator unit(s) generates electrical energy through fluid flow. The generated electrical energy is stored in an electrical storage apparatus or communicated to a power grid.

  • Publication number: 20100133839
    Abstract: An integrated generator unit is provided to generate electrical energy. One or more integrated generator units are mounted in an enclosure and in communication with a battery to store electrical energy. Each unit has a plurality of rotational elements that rotate about an axis as fluid passes through the enclosure. A magnet is provided in communication with at least one end of the rotational elements and in close proximity to electrically conductive material. As the rotational element is exposed to fluid flow, fluid passes through the enclosure and causes the rotational element(s) to rotate. This rotation causes the magnet to pass by the electrically conductive material and to generate electrical energy.
