Abstract
It is about an omnidirectional generator apparatus, capable of translating the push of a fluid from any direction in the vertical, horizontal or diagonal plains to rotational movement on a unique axis. This rotational movement can be translated to electric energy by known means.
Claims13
An omnidirectional generator apparatus,
- wherein the generator apparatus is configured to translate push of a fluid from any direction in the vertical, horizontal or diagonal planes to rotational movement on a unique axis,
- wherein the generator apparatus comprises:
- a plurality of channels;
- wherein an entrance to each channel is bigger than an exit of each channel, wherein once travelled by a fluid, a difference in size between the entrance and the exit creates a difference in pressure that generates push from the entrance to the exit;
- a plurality of faces that form a geometric body;
- wherein each face groups a subgroup of said plurality of channels, and wherein each face is oriented such that its channels push the apparatus in a determined rotational direction to rotate the geometric body;
- an electricity generation system;
- the unique axis;
- wherein the apparatus is connected to the electric generation system by means of the unique axis that transmits the rotation of the geometric body to the electricity generation system,
- wherein the entrances to the channels are located at edges of the omnidirectional generator apparatus,
- wherein channels of the plurality of channels that have entrances located at edges that intersect the unique axis are oriented diagonally to the unique axis, and channels of the plurality of channels that have entrances located at edges that do not intersect the unique axis are oriented perpendicularly to the unique axis.
