A turbine of a power generating system includes a rotary shaft, blades, stoppers and elastic members. Each of the blades includes a connecting side and an active side opposite to the connecting side, and the blades are disposed on the rotary shaft at intervals by a predetermined distance, in which the blades are pivotally connected to the rotary shaft through the connecting sides. The stoppers respectively correspond to the blades and are disposed over the rotary shaft for limiting expansion angles of the blades. Each of the elastic members includes a fixed end and a moving end opposite to the fixed end, and the fixed ends attach to the rotary shaft, and the moving ends respectively attach to the blades. Each of the blades pivots between an expanded position and a closed position.

A water powered electricity generating assembly for continuous generation of electricity includes an endless track, which is rotationally engaged to a stand. The trays hingedly engaged to the endless track are uprightly and invertedly positioned on a first side and second sides of the endless track, respectively. A generator is operationally engaged to the endless track. A supply pipe is engaged to and extends from the stand so that a first end of the supply pipe opens above the first side of the endless track. The supply pipe extends to a water source at an elevation higher than the upper end of the stand and diverts water from the water source to the stand. The water fills the trays on the first side of the endless track, causing the endless track and the generator to rotate, thereby generating an electrical current.

A turbine for generating electrical power includes oppositely rotating wheels which can be driven primarily by wind for driving a plurality of electrical power generators, or by a motor which may be a diesel, solar, electrical, or alternative fuel motor. One or more of the generators can also function as motors for driving the wheels. A method for generating electrical power involves a pair of wheels which rotate oppositely on a central shaft and a plurality of generators driven by the rotation of the wheels for generating power. The rotation of the wheels can be adjusted to a desired speed having regard to the current velocity of the wind and by means of a motor which is connected to the wheels so as to impart rotation thereof.

Apparatus for converting wave motion on a body of water into electrical power includes an electrical power generating system. The system includes a floatable housing. An electrical power generating unit is disposed within the floatable housing. The electrical power generating unit includes two spaced apart wheels which are connected by a drive element, and at least one generator for generating electrical power. A weight is connected to the drive element. When the system is tilted by wave motion, the weight moves toward the lower wheel, thereby turning the wheels and generator(s) and creating electrical power. In an embodiment, two weights are combined to provide drive element movement in a single direction. In another embodiment, the weight travels along a track which has two upturned ends.

A remote-controlled modular hydropower generator system, comprising: a turbine module, a gear box module, a transmission module, a power generator module, a monitoring module, and a wireless communication module. The wireless communication module can transmit hydropower generator data from the monitoring module to a remote control module, enabling real-time monitoring of the hydropower generator data from the power generator module. The remote control module can send control commands to the monitoring module through the wireless communication module to control the power generator module. The turbine housing is securely fastened using two main frames and an intermediate divider, allowing for quick disassembly, maintenance, or replacement of the turbine and gear box module. The transmission module and the power generator module are locked on the outer sides of the two main frames, facilitating fast disassembly, maintenance, or replacement of the transmission module and the power generator module.

Device, transmission and universal mechanical coupling of forces of different magnitude and directions (D.T.A.M.U.). This utility model refers to a device, transmission and universal mechanical coupling which allows transforming rotating forces of different magnitudes and directions being applied on the same rotating shaft (1) and obtaining a unidirectional motion in an output shaft (2) which can be used in any environment. The device consists of an input shaft (1), an output shaft (2) and two linking means (3 and 5) and (4, 9, and 6) between these two shafts (1 and 2) which are provided with at least a unidirectional coupling device (7a, 7b) each, and which, in the most basic form thereof, lacks of a rotation inverter (15a).

Examples include a wheel generator, namely a converter for obtaining electrical energy in a rolling wheel of a vehicle from the deformation of the wheel tyre due to contact with the road surface, a system for obtaining electrical energy comprising the converter, as well as a vehicle or wheel including the system.
