This rotational movement can be translated to electric energy by known means. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An omnidirectional generator apparatus, capable of translating push of a fluid from any direction in the vertical, horizontal or diagonal planes to rotational movement on a unique axis, wherein the generator apparatus comprises: a plurality of channels; wherein an entrance to each channel is bigger than an exit of each channel, wherein once travelled by a fluid, a difference in size between the entrance and the exit creates a difference in pressure that generates push from the entrance to the exit; a plurality of faces that form a geometric body; wherein each face groups a subgroup of said plurality of channels, and wherein each face is oriented such that its channels push the apparatus in a determined rotational direction: an electricity generation system; a fixed axis; wherein the apparatus is connected to the electric generation system by means of the fixed axis that transmits the rotation of the body to the generator. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The omnidirectional generator apparatus of claim 1, wherein exits of the channels lead to an interior of the omnidirectional generator apparatus. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The omnidirectional generator apparatus of claim 1, wherein exits of the channels lead to an exterior of the omnidirectional generator apparatus. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The omnidirectional generator apparatus of claim 1, wherein each face comprises a plurality of layers of the channels, wherein first channels of a first layer of the plurality of layers are oriented in a different direction to second channels of a second layer of the plurality of layers. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The omnidirectional generator apparatus of claim 1, wherein the entrances to the channels are located at edges of the omnidirectional generator apparatus. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The omnidirectional generator apparatus of claim 5, wherein channels of the plurality of channels that have entrances located at edges that intersect the unique axis are oriented diagonally to the unique axis, and channels of the plurality of channels that have entrances located at edges that do not intersect the unique axis are oriented perpendicularly to the unique axis. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The omnidirectional generator apparatus of claim 1, wherein the channels vary in length. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The omnidirectional generator apparatus of claim 1, wherein the faces are polygonal. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The omnidirectional generator apparatus of claim 1, wherein the faces are curved. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The omnidirectional generator apparatus of claim 1, wherein the faces are straight. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The omnidirectional generator apparatus of claim 1, wherein the omnidirectional generator apparatus is installable in a facade of a building to generate energy from wind. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The omnidirectional generator apparatus of claim 1, wherein the exit of each channel is half the size of the entrance of each channel. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The omnidirectional generator apparatus of claim 1, wherein the omnidirectional generator apparatus is a regular tetrahedron, comprising four triangular faces. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The omnidirectional generator apparatus of claim 13, wherein: a first two of the four triangular faces are equal and faced, and a second two of the four triangular faces are equal and faced, and the channels of the first two of the four triangular faces are orientated differently to the channels of the second two of the four triangular faces. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The omnidirectional generator apparatus of claim 1, comprising a plurality of channels with internal outflow and a plurality of channels with external outflow, the channels with internal outflow being oriented in a different direction to the channels with external outflow.
