20130113220 | Fluid-driven power generation apparatus and system for generating electricity and method of assembling the fluid-driven power generation apparatus - Fluid-driven power generation apparatus and system for generating electricity and method of assembling the fluid-driven power generation apparatus. The fluid-driven power generation apparatus and system comprises a container for containing a fluid, such as water. An electrically operable pump pumps the fluid from the container to a nozzle disposed near a turbine wheel. The pump is powered by batteries, so that the pump operates pollution-free without combustion of fossil fuels. Fluid from the nozzle jets onto the turbine wheel to rotate the turbine wheel. The nozzle and turbine wheel are configured so that optimal rotation of the turbine wheel is achieved for efficient electricity generation. An electrical generator coupled to the turbine wheel generates electricity as the turbine wheel rotates. The electricity generated is supplied to an end user and any excess electricity is provided to an electrical transmission grid. | 05-09-2013 |
