Abstract
A linear power station, includes a turbine array comprised of a plurality of turbines, the turbines for harnessing the power of a moving fluid and each respective turbine being rotatable about a fixed axis of rotation by fluid flow that is omnidirectional with respect to the turbine, and a generator array comprised of at least one generator, the at least one generator being operably coupled to the turbine array for being rotated by the respective plurality of turbines of the turbine array. A method of producing electrical power is further included.
Claims21
A linear power station, comprising:
- a turbine array comprised of a plurality of turbines, the turbines for harnessing the power of a moving fluid and each respective turbine being rotatable about a fixed axis of rotation by fluid flow that is omnidirectional with respect to the turbine;
- and
- a generator array comprised of at least one generator, the at least one generator being operably coupled to the turbine array for being rotated by the respective plurality of turbines of the turbine array.
A linear power station, comprising:
- turbine array means for being comprised of a plurality of turbine means, the turbine means for harnessing the power of a moving fluid and each respective turbine means being rotatable about a fixed axis of rotation by fluid flow that is omnidirectional with respect to the turbine means;
- and
- generator array means for being comprised of at least one generator means, the at least one generator means being operably coupled to the turbine array means for being rotated by the respective plurality of turbine means of the turbine array means.
A method of producing electrical power, comprising:
- forming a linear power station, the linear power station including;
- forming a turbine array of a plurality of turbines, harnessing the power of a moving fluid by means of the turbines and rotating each respective turbine about a fixed axis of rotation by fluid flow that is omnidirectional with respect to the turbine;
- and
- forming a generator array of at least one generator, operably coupling the at least one generator to the turbine array for being rotated by the respective plurality of turbines of the turbine array.
