Abstract: The invention is directed to a device for the generation of pressure pulses, being intended for transmitting signals, in a fluid-carrying channel (2), using a pulser (1) designed to be integrated in the channel (2) and having a housing (4) and an adjustable throttling device by means of which the flow resistance can be varied at at least one point of the channel (2), an electrical generator (16), an impeller (9) exposed to the fluid passing through the channel and designed to drive the generator (16), a control device by means of which the load of the generator (16) can be varied in response to control signals, and an actuating device that is connected to the throttling element (12) and effects an adjustment of the throttling element responsively to the driving torque of the generator (16).
