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. A method for generating electrical power from a continuous fluid flow via the reactive turbine system is also provided herein.
Claims7
A continuous fluid flow power generator, comprising:
- a power generator having a plurality of submersible turbine blades disposed in a frame in communication with a flow of fluid in a body of water wherein the turbine blades are rotated by the flow of fluid to generate electricity, a width of each turbine blade being between ⅔ to ½ of the frame diameter, the turbine blades arranged to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise and to produce a star pattern after a 360 degree rotation;
- a guard disposed about the power generator for protection thereof, the guard being further configured as a reversal blade to maintain alignment of each submersible turbine blade;
- a platform for supporting the power generator;
- a tower disposed proximate the platform, the platform connected thereto, the tower having a docking area;
- and
- a vessel equipped with a battery bank, the vessel dockable with the docking area, the battery bank being electrically connectable to the power generator to charge the battery bank.
