Abstract
An electromagnetic turbine system includes a circulation system for recirculating fluid that drives turbine impellers for electromagnetic turbine modules. The circulation system includes a fluid separator module which separates gas from liquid and circulates the liquid back to a pressure chamber. The liquid in the pressure chamber is propel by compressed gas. Multiple pressure chambers may be controlled to release pressurized fluid to drive their respective shafts on a staggered timing sequence. The turbine modules may be levitated from a supporting surface to reduce friction.
