HYDROELECTRIC SYSTEM AND METHOD
The present invention is a hydroelectric system having a siphon component, a generator component, and an electronics and control component, which produces an inflow of water caused by a vacuum initially created within the system and further aided by hydrostatic pressure. The inflow is directed to a ramp where it drives a water turbine located within the respective electrical generating system to produce electrical power.
Energy conversion system and method
A method, a system, and a device are disclosed which are capable of using moving liquid to create energy in the form of compressed air. The method, system, and/or device does not harm or consume the liquid to operate. The compressed air can be used to operate anything from vehicles to electric generators.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ENERGY GENERATION AND FLUID TREATMENT
The system and method for energy generation along with fluid treatment includes but not limited to aeration, filteration and heat transfer or temperature control. The system may comprise at least one first enclosed chamber. Further plurality of nozzles are configured to allow flow of the fluid into the at least one first enclosed chamber. The system further comprises plurality of second chambers connected to the at least one first enclosed chamber through a network of pipes. Further the system comprises an aerofoil turbine mounted in the plurality of second chambers, wherein the aerofoil turbine is configured to receive a second fluid (example: atmospheric air) via plurality of inlets ports positioned on periphery of the aerofoil turbine.
Oscillating water column turbine apparatuses
An apparatus for generating electricity from an oscillating water column may include a turbine having an inlet cap, an outlet cap, and an impeller rotatably disposed between the inlet cap and the outlet cap. The turbine may be deployed in a water cylinder having a water piston that slides between a first position and a second position in response to oscillation of water in the water cylinder, thereby creating a pressure difference to allow pressurized fluid to enter and/or escape through the components of the turbine to rotate the impeller of the turbine to facilitate generation of electricity and/or performance of other work. Other oscillating water column turbine apparatuses are also disclosed.
In-pipe turbine and hydro-electric power generation system with separable housing and detachable vane arrangements
A power generation system (1) comprises a housing (3) which at least partly houses a turbine rotor (6) a shaft (4) and a electrical generator arrangement. The system further comprises an inlet guide vane arrangement (16) and an outlet stay vane arrangement (20) which are each detachably attached to the housing (3). The housing (3) comprises two parts (24, 25) that are releasably attached to one another such that the two parts (24, 25) of the housing (3) can be at least partly separated from one another to permit access to the turbine rotor (6) and the electrical generator system.
Siphonage hydroelectric generation device with screw turbine
A siphonage hydroelectric generation device has a water source, a storage tank fluidly communicating with the water source via a first siphon pipe, at least one channel fluidly communicating with the storage tank and extending obliquely and downwardly, at least one screw turbine disposed in the at least one channel, and at least one power generator connected to the at least one screw turbine. Each first siphon pipe has a siphoning inlet end portion inserted into the storage tank and a siphoning outlet end portion fluidly communicating with a corresponding one of the at least one channel. An end opening of the siphoning outlet end portion is lower than a water level of the storage tank. The at least one channel can receive a stable volume of water from the storage tank via the first siphon pipe by siphonage for stable power generation.
MODULAR ENVELOPE HYDRODYNAMIC ELECTRIFICATION SYSTEM
A hydrodynamic electrification system that generates electricity using water from an upstream side of a dam. The system includes a water transport system that includes at least one siphon having an intake submerged in the water on the upstream side of the dam. The at least one siphon is configured to transport the water from the upstream side of the dam to a rotatable wheel coupled to a power generator that is located on a downstream side of the dam. The system further includes a mounting system that supports and isolates the water transport system structurally from the dam such that no part of the water transport system contacts the dam.
