Abstract
A reactive blade turbine system works vertically, horizontally, or at an angle and clockwise or counterclockwise according to blade angle and locking position and adjusts to variations in fluid flow such as changes in tidal currents to generate power more efficiently regardless of direction of fluid flow.
Claims12
A reactive turbine system, comprising:
- a turbine having a plurality of reactive turbine blades being configured for communication with a flow of fluid, the turbine further comprising:
- a top base and a bottom base;
- a system axis;
- respective individual axes for each reactive turbine blade;
- a guard disposed about the turbine for protection thereof, the guard being further configured as a reversal blade to maintain alignment of each reactive turbine blade;
- and
- respective slip rings in communication with each of the individual axes for each reactive turbine blade;
- wherein the top base and the bottom base rotate on the system axis causing each reactive turbine blade to rotate on its respective individual axis until each reactive turbine blade in turn contacts a flow of water on an opposing side of the system, the rotation of the turbine, the guard, and the reactive turbine blades producing a star pattern over time, the rotation about the system axis and the individual axes via the slip rings generating power via a power generator.
