In one aspect, a system for generating electricity based on water flow is disclosed. The system comprises a first pipe fitting, a turbine, and a second pipe fitting. The first pipe fitting couples to a pipe that supplies a fluid to a building. The turbine is in fluid communication with the first pipe fitting and rotates in response to a kinetic energy of the fluid supplied by the pipe flowing through the turbine, generates electricity in response to rotation of the turbine, and reduces a pressure of the fluid from a first pressure to a second pressure. The second pipe fitting couples the turbine to an input pipe of the building. The turbine further comprises a conversion circuit that conditions the generated electricity for consumption by the building and conveys the generated electricity to the building via one or more conductors.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to an energy recovery system for a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system. The energy recovery system includes a nozzle having a flow passage with an inlet passage and an outlet passage that is narrowed relative to the inlet passage, in which the nozzle is configured to couple to a condenser and receive an air flow into the flow passage from a condenser fan. The energy recovery system further includes a wind turbine disposed within the outlet passage of the flow passage and having a first axis of rotation, and a generator that is external to the nozzle and that includes a shaft with a second axis of rotation. The generator is coupled to the wind turbine, such that the first axis of rotation is aligned with the second axis of rotation.

The disclosed invention relates to a wind power generation device for a window trim frame, the wind power generation device: enabling alignment and provision in a prefabricated manner so as to fit the size of a window trim frame or the window frame of a general house or a building such that the installation thereof is simplified; manufactured in a small size such that purchase and production costs are relatively lower than those of other power generation facilities and the like; and charging, with produced electric energy, a storage battery provided at the end thereof and, simultaneously, enabling a charging completion to be immediately checked, thereby easily being used.

A system and method to direct a communication from a user device to rotate a deflector guide located proximal to a sprinkler head. The sprinkler head rests on a sealed bottom ring comprised of a waterwheel, transformer, rotating slider, and D2M communications device. When water is deployed from the sprinkler head, the waterwheel inside the sealed bottom ring rotates to generate energy. This starts the communication device which maintains a D2M communication signal until the water is turned off. The communication device is managed by a user on a user device through a user interface. After communication signal is selected in the user interface of the user device, the deflector head responds to commands and pivots along a circular path. The deflector comprises an opening that limits the spray from the sprinkler head to a more limited range than if the deflector was not used.

A charging assembly includes a conduit assembly configured to be fluidly coupled with a pre-existing conduit through which a liquid flows, and a hydroelectric generator coupled with the conduit assembly such that at least part of the liquid flowing through the pre-existing conduit flows through the hydroelectric generator. The hydroelectric generator is configured to create an electric current based on flow of the liquid through the hydroelectric generator. The assembly also includes an energy storage assembly conductively coupled with the hydroelectric generator. The energy storage assembly is configured to store electric energy of the electric current created by the hydroelectric generator.

A wind and water power generation system is presented. The wind and power generation system has a roof mounted gutter system with an internally integrated turbine. The internally integrated turbine has a connection to an externally positioned wind scope. Thus, the rain run-off causes the internal turbine to rotate to generate power and the external wind scope allows the internal turbine to turn without rain.

Disclosed is an air-compression energy-storage and power-supply system having air purification capability through using solar energy. The system includes: a solar energy power supply device, it utilizes solar energy to produce power for the system itself, and for users to use in daytime; an air purification device, with its exhaust fan connected to a transformer power distribution device to obtain the power for rotation, so that outside air flows into the air cylinder after filtering by the air filter, then the purified air is exited from the air cylinder to provide purified air; an air-compression energy-storage and power-supply device, used to compress the purified air into high pressure for storage, and the high pressure purified air is released at night, for the generator to produce power for user to use at night; and a wind power transmission device, disposed above the air purification device.

An electrical energy generation system can include a housing, an electrical generator supported by the housing, a turbine operatively connected to the electrical generator, and a hollow frustum positioned in the housing and spaced apart from the turbine. The frustum can be configured to receive airflow via a lower opening and to direct the airflow toward the turbine with increased velocity. Another electrical energy generation system can include an electrical generator, a turbine operatively connected to the electrical generator, and an enclosed passageway configured to increase a speed of an airflow from an artificial source toward the turbine. The enclosed passageway can be positioned to support the turbine. The systems can include one or more baffle elements to straighten the airflow along a direction aligned with a rotational axis of the turbine. Electrical energy generation systems harvest waste or exhaust air from rooftop vent or fan assemblies.
