## Abstract

Disclosed is an embedded sprinkler system. The embedded sprinkler system comprises a stator, and a rotor, embedded in the embedded sprinkler system. The rotor may further be integrated with a sprinkler arm. Further the sprinkler arm may be connected to a nozzle allowing for a fluid to flow through. The sprinkler arm may inherently have an angle.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An embedded sprinkler system, comprising:
a sprinkler arm;
a generator rotor directly mounted and integrated on the sprinkler arm;
a generator stator enclosed around the generator rotor; and
a printed circuit board housing enclosing the generator stator.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The embedded sprinkler system as claimed in claim 1, further comprises a nozzle mounted on the sprinkler arm at a first end.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The embedded sprinkler system as claimed in claim 1, further comprises a rotary unit mounted on the sprinkler arm at a second end opposite to the first end.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The embedded sprinkler system as claimed in claim 1, further comprises a gate valve mounted below the rotary unit.

### Claim 5

An embedded sprinkler system, comprising a generator rotor mounted on a sprinkler arm characterized wherein the generator rotor is integrated with the sprinkler arm without a housing for the generator rotor;
a generator stator enclosed around the generator rotor; and
a printed circuit board housing enclosing the generator stator.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The embedded sprinkler system of the claim 5, wherein the generator rotor is detachably mounted on the sprinkler arm.

### Claim 7 (depends on 5)

The embedded sprinkler system as claimed in claim 5, further comprises a nozzle mounted on the sprinkler arm at a first end.

### Claim 8 (depends on 5)

The embedded sprinkler system as claimed in claim 5, further comprises a rotary unit mounted on the sprinkler arm at a second end opposite to the first end.

### Claim 9 (depends on 5)

The embedded sprinkler system as claimed in claim 5, further comprises a gate valve mounted below the rotary unit.

### Claim 10

A method to assemble an embedded sprinkler system, the method comprising:
mounting a generator rotor directly on a sprinkler arm;
enclosing the generator rotor with a generator stator; and
enabling a fluid flow from a nozzle to atmosphere via the sprinkler arm.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The method of claim 10, further comprises capturing a rotating movement of the sprinkler arm during the fluid flow via the generator rotor.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The method of claim 11, further comprises generation of power from the captured rotating movement.

### Claim 13 (depends on 10)

The method of claim 10, further comprises wirelessly controlling and monitoring the generator rotor.
