Kinetic machine, powered by flowing water for the extraction of energy by pressurising water
A kinetically driven machine for pressurizing water containing kinetically driven pressure pumps containing a front and rear part. The front part contains a pump mounted with thrust bearings, so the pump can rotate around itself. The pump is fitted with a front wing set, that can rotate the front part of the pressure pump. The rear part contains a gearbox that is mounted on the pump. The very gear is mounted on the drive shaft of the pump. A protective tube is fitted around the gearbox and attached with thrust bearings, so that the protective tube can rotate around the gearbox. The rear wing set, constructed like the front wing set, is mounted on the protective tube whereby the rear wing set can rotate the gear. The wing sets rotate in opposite directions, so the energy of the water is transformed into rotational energy that thereby drives the pump.
Hydrodynamic power generator and system
This disclosure is directed to hydrodynamic electric generators, including their structural design, methods of deployment, anchoring systems, drive systems and control systems. The system can be scaled from ones that can be hand carried to large, stationary devices that can generate up to and greater than 20 kw in a current of 3 knots. In a stationary system, the device can be anchored to an underwater floor by an anchoring device supported by four adjustable legs. These legs can eliminate the need for extensive mooring lines, providing the device with a small footprint that is non-hazardous to marine animals or vegetation. Individual components, such as rotors, generators and other mechanical components can be modularly installed for easy removal and servicing without having to disturb the entire system.

Modular hydrokinetic turbine system
A modular hydrokinetic turbine system for installation in a water stream. The system is assembled from a number of blade modules and a number of support modules, connected in the direction of the water stream. Each blade module has turbine blades, a rotor shaft portion, and two-piece rotor shaft coupling. The support modules rest on the stream bed and support the blade modules. The rotor shaft couplings allow the blade modules to be connected such that the rotor shaft portions provide a rotor shaft, but also allow the blade modules to be separable from the support modules. A generator located at one end of the system is driven by the rotor shaft.
Fluid turbine assembly and method of actuation of a fluid turbine
A fluid turbine assembly includes a main rotor and a secondary rotor, each operatively coupled to separate rotation shafts and configured for independent operation. The assembly features a fluid inlet system that selectively directs fluid to one or both rotors based on predetermined criteria. The main rotor incorporates hollow arms to distribute fluid centrifugally, while the secondary rotor processes fluid discharged from the main rotor. The assembly includes a control system for independently adjusting power and torque distribution between the rotors to improve efficiency under varying flow conditions. The configuration allows the fluid turbine to manage diverse operating demands, including changes in flow rates and pressure, while optimizing energy output.
