Abstract
A machine for generating energy by exploiting the flow of a fluid. The machine includes a first fixed or static component part or stator which defines a first cylindrical inner surface and a second outer surface. The machine further includes a second component part or rotor configured to be rotated and accommodated in the inner space confined by the first cylindrical inner surface. The first fixed or static component part or stator is configured to introduce a fluid into the inner space confined by the first inner surface through the second outer surface and first inner surface of the stator, such that the interaction between the flow of fluid introduced into the inner space and the second component part or rotor results in the second component part or rotor being rotated.
Claims15
A machine for generating energy by exploiting a flow of a fluid, said machine comprising:
- a cylindrical first fixed or static component part or stator, which defines a cylindrical first inner surface and a second outer surface;
- and
- a second component part or rotor adapted to be rotated and accommodated in an inner space confined by said first inner surface,
- said first fixed or static component part or stator being configured to introduce a fluid into the inner space through said second outer surface and said first inner surface,
- wherein an interaction between a flow of the fluid introduced into said inner space and said second component part or rotor results in said second component part or rotor being rotated,
- wherein said first fixed or static component part or stator comprises a plurality of overlapping lamellar elements,
- wherein at least one of said lamellar elements is shaped so as to define non-contact areas with an adjacent one of said lamellar elements so as to define a plurality of passages for said fluid,
- wherein each of said passages puts into communication said inner space with a space outside said second outer surface,
- wherein said second component part or rotor comprises a main body accommodated in said inner space and includes a plurality of radial blades, and
- wherein outer edges in a radial direction of said radial blades lie on a common frustoconical plane.
