Title:
HYDRAULIC POWER GENERATOR
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS54160934
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
The efficiency of a hydro-electric generator is improved by providing open-ended hollow tubes having influx ends proximate the axis and efflux ends proximate the periphery of a fan-bladed turbine. The jets of water developed by rotation of the fan-bladed turbine are directed against turbine vanes at the periphery of the fan blades. The device is particularly suitable for mounting in a water current such as in an ocean current or river.
