- a) a floating platform;
- b) guide vanes;
- c) a velocity gradient turbine;
- d) a gas compressor;
- e) a means to couple turbine and compressor, further comprising a turbine gear and a compressor gear or belt / chain drive;
- f) at least a pipe;
- and
- g) a turbine—generator sub-system;
- wherein the said floating platform comprises:
- i. at least two tanks;
- ii. at least a rod to support the said tanks;
- and
- wherein the said turbine—generator sub-system comprises:
- i. a turbine ;
- and
- i. a generator;
- and
- wherein the said tanks are connected to each other by the said guide vanes;
- and
- wherein a conical passage is formed between the adjacent tanks;
- and
- wherein the connecting corners of the said adjacent tanks are indented to form a hollow space in between the said adjacent tanks;
- and
- wherein the said velocity gradient turbine is placed within the said hollow space;
- and
- wherein the said rod is fixed at least at one end to a fixing body, and the said rod restricts the horizontal movement of the said tanks while allows the vertical movement of the said tanks;
- wherein the said platform can be locked and unlocked with the said rod by suitable means at any position with respect to rise and fall in the fluid level;
- and
- wherein a central shaft of the said velocity gradient turbine is linked to the said turbine gear and the said gas compressor is linked to the said compressor gear and both the said gears are operationally linked to each other;
- and
- wherein flow of the fluid causes blades of the said velocity gradient turbine to rotate, and the rotation of the said turbine rotates the turbine gear, which enables compressor gear to rotate and initiates the gas compression process by the said gas compressor and the compressed gas is encompassed in the said tanks;
- and
- wherein the compressed gas reaches the said turbine—generator sub-system through the said pipe causing the rotation of the said turbine coupled to a generator and initiate the process of generating power.
A method of working of velocity gradient floating turbine and power generation, comprising the steps of
- a. flowing of fluid into a conical passage formed between two adjacent floating tanks;
- b. guiding of the fluid flow on to concave side of blades of the velocity gradient turbine by guide vanes;
- c. rotating the velocity gradient turbine by the fluid flow,
- d. rotating of a turbine gear which further rotates a compressor gear;
- e. compressing the air by the gas compressor;
- f. encompassing of the compressed gas in the tanks;
- g. flowing of the compressed gas through a pipe to a turbine—generation sub-system;
- h. rotating the turbine of the turbine—generation sub-system by the compressed gas;
- and
- i. initiating power generating process.
