Abstract
An apparatus for generating energy through fluid dynamics includes a fluid reservoir, an energy extractor for extracting flow energy, a back-pressure control channel for circulating the fluid, and a pressure ejector for returning fluid to the fluid reservoir. The back-pressure control channel includes a fan-like device to generate a low-pressure region and draws fluid through the energy extractor. The energy extractor includes an energy extraction rotor to convert flow energy to rotation energy and may include a nozzle to alter flow characteristics of the fluid. The apparatus for generating energy may also include a settlement chamber to reduce flow disturbances.
