Abstract: A fluid motor consisting essentially of a housing mounted on a water pipe and containing a vaned disc which functions as a paddle wheel whereby fluid moving through the conduit engages the vanes driving the disc and an output shaft associated therewith which in turn is utilized to drive a generator and produce an electric current.

Abstract: A generating means as a form of utilizing water to generate electricity. There is a water dam which backs up a sizeable depth and water pressure, and a water outlet pipe near the bottom of the dam. A plurality of electric generating stations are positioned below the dam and utilize water flow through the outlet pipe to drive an electric generator at each station.

Abstract: A jet powered marine propulsion unit includes a pair of spaced parallel conduits extending longitudinally through a ship with intakes adjacent the bow of the ship. A tubular propeller is mounted in the conduits with blades extending inwardly toward the axis of the propeller. The propellers are chain driven from the gear box of a diesel engine. The conduits adjacent their outlet are provided with a plurality of spaced parallel stationary blades arranged parallel to the axis of the conduit to eliminate all swirling action of the jet fluid prior to its expulsion in a propelling jet. The tubular propellers are conical in form to provide a reduced diameter at their outlet ends.
