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.

A fluid-powered generator harvests the inherent energy in a flowing medium, such as wind or water, as it flows along a flexible sail, creating an undulating motion that causes rotation of a crankshaft. The generator comprises a plurality of ribs pivotably connected to a support shaft. Each rib is coupled to the sail and to a crank arm such that when the sail undulates, the ribs and crank arm pivot in the direction of the undulation, causing rotation of the crankshaft. The generator thus converts the linear motion of the fluid to circular motion to produce renewable energy.

A vehicle incorporates a gravity-assist energy harvesting suspension system including one or more gravitational positive displacement pumps. The positive displacement pump has a cylinder and a reciprocating piston inside the cylinder. The piston is adapted for movement along a compression stroke and an opposite extension stroke in response to a gravitational bounce of the vehicle when in motion. A turbine comprising a rotor shaft and attached blades is mounted relative to a distal end of a fluid outlet hose connected to the pump. Fluid discharged through the outlet hose acts on the blades, thereby moving and imparting rotational energy to the rotor shaft. A generator is operatively connected to the turbine, and is adapted for converting the rotational energy generated by the rotor shaft to electrical energy.

A turbine generator assembly for generating power from a fluid flow, the assembly comprising: a housing for directing fluid flow, a turbine generator having a longitudinal axis of extension, enclosed in said housing, said turbine generator comprising: a plurality of blades provided on a central rotational axis being parallel with the longitudinal axis, a rotor, and a stator arranged peripherally and annular to the rotor; at least one of the plurality of blades being provided in fixed arrangement with the rotor, and wherein the stator of the turbine generator comprises a plurality of segments each having a coil length parallel to the longitudinal axis of the turbine, and a radial coil thickness, wherein at least two stator segments have different coil lengths and/or thickness to each other.

A power generator is provided that in some embodiments includes a tubular generator housing for receiving a fluid flow at an intake end and discharging the fluid flow at an exit end. A generator compartment located within the generator housing contains an electrical generator. The generator compartment includes a plurality of structural members for centrally locating the generator compartment within the generator housing. A thickness of a thermally conductive outer wall of the generator compartment tapers from a thickest portion in front of the electrical generator to a thinnest portion adjacent to the electrical generator.

A flush valve has a valve body having a flushing tube, a power generating set, and a solenoid valve assembly. The power generating set is disposed within the flushing tube and has a turbine capable of rotating, an induction coil, and a magnet inserted through the induction coil and capable of simultaneously rotating with the water turbine. The solenoid valve assembly has an assembling mount, a solenoid valve assembled to the assembling mount, and a power supply electrically connected to both the induction coil and the solenoid valve. A first reserving space is formed between the assembling mount and a relief assembly. A second reserving space is formed between the solenoid valve and the assembling mount and communicates with the first reserving space. The solenoid valve optionally prevents the first reserving space and the second reserving space from communicating with each other.

A device is provided having a fermentation chamber having one or more inlets to receive a mixed stream to be fermented and an outlet to release fermented product; a distillation vessel surrounding the fermentation chamber having communication with the fermentation chamber outlet to receive fermented product to be distilled and a turbine located within the outlet of the fermentation chamber, the turbine having a rotor rotatable by force of flow of fermented product from the fermentation chamber to the distillation vessel, to generate electricity. A sidewall common to both the fermentation chamber and distillation vessel allows for heat transfer of heat generated from fermentation to the distillation vessel to heat the product to be distilled. A method of fermenting and distilling a product is also provided. The method involves receiving in a fermentation chamber a mixed stream to be fermented; transferring heat energy generated by fermentation to a distillation vessel surrounding the fermentation chamber; allowing pressurized fermented product to flow from the fermentation chamber into the distillation vessel via a turbine and rotating a rotor of the turbine by a force of flow of the fermented product to the distiller to generate electricity.

A power generator for generating power using a liquid that can alternatively flow at a lower flow rate and at a higher flow rate. The power generator includes a conduit and a rotor mounted in the conduit so as to be rotatable about a rotation axis. The rotor includes a top set of blades provided in a conduit top portion and configured for rotating about the rotation axis when the liquid flows at the higher flow rate in the conduit. The rotor also includes a bottom set of blades provided in a conduit bottom portion and configured for rotating about the rotation axis when the liquid flows at the lower flow rate in the conduit. An output shaft protrudes from the conduit and is rotatable by at least one of the top and bottom sets of blades. The top and bottom blades have different configurations.

Hydroenergetic motor is the energy converter intended to transform the hydropotential energy into the mechanical work in the form of the torque in such a way that the force of the pressure of the column of the liquid, acting on the ball (Kr) in the nozzle (S) achieves the movement of the chain (VK) with the balls (Kr) first, which is then transferred to the wheel (K) of the device. Due to the fact that the wheel (K) is not in direct contact with the fluid, and whereas, at the same time, the hydroenergetic motor according to the invention can also generate a torque with small and uneven flows, it can be used where the use of conventional hydroelectric converters is not appropriate due to the specific characteristics of the working liquids and specific hydrodynamic flow parameters, for example in sewage systems, in order to exploit the hydro-potential energy of the waste liquid of the sewage system. In those systems the use of a hydroenergetic motor according to the invention is preferred. The installation of the hydroenergetic motor with the purpose of exploiting hydropotential energy of the waste sewage fluid flowing through either one or more building objects may be done at any location in the sewer system in a way that the generator producing electricity is attached to the wheel (K). During operation, the hydroenergetic motor does not emit any byproducts into the environment and this actually makes the hydroenergetic motor the renewable source of energy.
