A fluid driven turbine motor having a turbine shroud and a rotor assembly attached to a central portion within the turbine shroud. The rotor assembly includes a rotor and a plurality of vertical vanes mounted thereto and extending radially outward therefrom. The turbine shroud also includes a plurality of intake ports directing a fluid flow to the vanes. The intake ports are positioned such that the fluid flow directed by the intake ports exert balanced forces onto the vanes. The motor may optionally include a retractable centrifugal weight assembly and ports for draining moisture from the rotor assembly.
A fluid-driven power generator having a turbine with several vanes, an exhaust chamber, a device for directing a first fluid towards the vanes of the turbine, a device for directing a second fluid through the generator housing assembly without contacting said turbine, a device for combining the first fluid and the second fluid in an exhaust chamber, and a device for creating a vacuum in the exhaust chamber.
The present invention relates to a device for regulating the pumping capacity of constant-speed vertical-axis centrifuge pumps having an admission cross section with a weir, a suction orifice of a pump submerged in a reservoir that is open on top, an impeller axis, and a fluid inlet opening that emerges tangentially in the direction of the impeller rotation. The fluid inlet opening forms an opening in the weir and is located below the upper edge of the weir. The lower portion of a cylindrical reservoir wall is provided so that a rotational flow can be created in the reservoir. In the portion of the admission cross section that lies above the weir, and on the side of the fluid inlet opening that lies below the weir, there is a deflector plate, so that the fluid is deflected around the pump axis in the direction of rotation opposite to the above-mentioned rotational flow in the reservoir.
A wind power system includes a rotary drive, used in conjunction with a mechanical and self-energizing coupling system. The rotary drive can be used as a wind power system in all areas. The electromagnetic coupling system can be used in all industrial areas, in all areas and types of vehicle technology, and in all electrical engineering areas. The combination of a wind power system with a rotary drive with mechanical and self-energizing coupling system indicates that the wind force can be utilized more effectively than in the case of conventional wind-driven rotors, irrespective of the physical size. This is achieved by virtue of the blade arrangement and the special design of the housing. The self-energizing coupling system furthermore has the physical advantage that the magnet is combined in one space with the iron core and, on the other hand, a short-circuited coil is energized. The current for the electromagnetic coupling may also be taken directly from the generator stage.
A wind turbine assembly includes a venturi passage and a rotor in proximity thereto for rotation about an axis lying substantially perpendicular to the venturi passage. A rotor chamber partially surrounds the rotor. A port communicates between the rotor chamber and a low pressure point of the venturi passage. A remaining exposed portion of rotor is rotated by wind forces pushing the rotor. Communication of the rotor chamber with the venturi passage reduces pressure in the rotor chamber to increase efficiency of the wind forces pushing on the rotor blades.
A guided fluid driven turbine to upgrade the efficiency in converting fluid kinetics into rotation kinetics by having a specific directional guide unit adapted to a fluid driven turbine for the fluid to be guided the open-end, specific directional guide unit extending from its head along the load side of the turbine, thus to change the fluid pressure on the load surface of the turbine.
