A separation assembly comprises a housing, a jet that expels a fluid within the housing, and a turbine assembly positioned within the housing and positioned so as to be contacted by the fluid expelled from the jet. The fluid causes the turbine assembly to rotate about a center rotational axis within the housing. The turbine assembly comprises a first turbine portion and a second turbine portion that are separately formed from each other and attachable together. The first turbine portion comprises a plurality of first vanes and the second turbine portion comprises a plurality of second vanes.

A hydropower installation includes a water supply and an energy generating station, with the supply at a higher level than the energy generating station; and a duct extending between the supply and the energy generating station. The energy generating station of the hydropower installation is configured based on high water velocity and low pressure. The duct may comprise plastic pipes. The duct may be arranged on a foam support and enclosed by a foam embedment. The duct may comprise at least two duct sections, with an intermediate energy generating station arranged between the duct sections of the duct. The duct may comprise internally extending protrusions, such as dimples to promote a laminar flow of fluid through the pipe. The duct may taper. Water pressure inside the duct may be maintained at atmospheric level. The proposed features all contribute to a pressure free velocity based system.

A separation assembly comprises a housing, a jet that expels a fluid within the housing, and a turbine positioned within the housing and positioned so as to be contacted by the fluid expelled from the jet. The fluid causes the turbine to rotate about a center rotational axis within the housing. The turbine comprises a first axial end, a second axial end, and a plurality of vanes extending axially relative to the center rotational axis from the first axial end to the second axial end. The plurality of vanes defines axially-extending channels between each of the plurality of vanes. The first axial end is axially open such that fluid can flow unblocked axially through the first axial end and into the channels. The jet is positioned such that at least a portion of the fluid enters into the turbine through the first axial end.

A fluid driven motor device is provided, which does not use a magnet or an armature coil, includes a motor casing chamber containing a fluid mixture, a shaft disposed within the chamber, and a plurality of ray guns arranged on the periphery of the chamber, and a unidirectional gear assembly. The shaft has a plurality of cell holders, onto which a corresponding plurality of membrane cells is attached. Each membrane cell holds a predetermined quantity of a liquid. The membrane cells expand continuously based on the firing of the subatomic rays by the plurality of ray guns causing the shaft to rotate. The device has several advantages such as being very energy and heat efficient, having lesser weight as compared to conventional electromagnetic coil based motors.

The invention relates to a method for designing and fabricating bucket turbines with calibrated jets characterised in that the skeletons of the turbines displayed on the screen allow them to be designed and then fabricated in any dimensions, any materials and any quantities, and they are built with blades designed according to the so-called five-parameter arithmetic principle, the skeleton of the turbine is displayed on the screen by means of virtual neutral fibres which are subsequently covered with a material, the turbines being contained, over the entire length thereof, in a circular envelope, which is in principle slightly rounded and has a diameter that varies over the length thereof according to the contents of the envelope, and the length of said single-component envelope is shown on a drawing and divided into four zones intersected by temporary virtual discs which each separate the zones according to the functions carried out in these areas, the front edge of said envelope being very sharp or, on demand, provided with a flange Br for allowing connection to installations, the four zones comprising:

a first zone for (1) for injecting the fluid, which is an empty space or a space containing valves or inducers, of the corkscrew type, which optionally cause a pre-rotation of the fluid which enters a second zone (2), a pointed shield pushing the flow of fluid away from the centre on arrival, and directing it away towards the second zone (2), the second zone (2) where the rotation of the fluid is created in channels that wind in spirals and open up at the rear of the second zone (2), rotating the fluid, a third zone (3) containing the rotating wheel provided with buckets with calibrated jets that harness the energy supplied by the jets of fluid leaving the second zone (2), and a fourth zone (4) containing a housing attached to the stationary casing of the turbine and placed after the rotating wheel, said housing containing channels that orient the fluid towards the outlet at the rear of the turbine, and the fluid is guided, as soon as it reaches the second zone (2), by channels contained in tubes that are arranged in continuity face to face, over the entire length of the turbine.
