The present invention provides for a pressurized hydro-electrical generating system that uses pressurized water contained in a sealed tank to rotate a turbine assembly, thereby rotating an armature of electro-magnetic coils around a shaft to produce electrical energy. The low cost system uses a limited amount of water as to conserve the valuable resource of water.

Through dividing all blades into four or more blade groups including a certain number, which is three or more, of the blades, the blade located in the rearmost portion of each blade group in a direction of rotation is selected as a main blade, and remaining blades are selected as auxiliary blades, the length of each of the auxiliary blades is set to be shorter than the length of the main blade, and corresponding inner edge portions are positioned to the front, in the direction of rotation, of a normal line that passes through an outer edge portion of the blade, and an extension line of a chord line that connects the outer edge portion and the inner edge portion of the blade to one another are made to intersect with the main blade that is adjacent to the front in the direction of rotation.

The invention is a system and method for the airborne generation of usable water from atmospheric water vapor and the generation of electric power from and for such system.

A vehicle incorporates a gravity-assist energy harvesting suspension system including one or more gravitational positive displacement pumps. The positive displacement pump has a cylinder and a reciprocating piston inside the cylinder. The piston is adapted for movement along a compression stroke and an opposite extension stroke in response to a gravitational bounce of the vehicle when in motion. A turbine comprising a rotor shaft and attached blades is mounted relative to a distal end of a fluid outlet hose connected to the pump. Fluid discharged through the outlet hose acts on the blades, thereby moving and imparting rotational energy to the rotor shaft. A generator is operatively connected to the turbine, and is adapted for converting the rotational energy generated by the rotor shaft to electrical energy.
