Device for generating electric current in a fluid flow circuit

A device for generating electric current in a fluid flow circuit, comprising:

• a conduit segment, intended to be interposed in the fluid flow circuits;
• a rotor mounted in the conduit segment and suitable to be moved by the passage of a fluid in said device;
• and
• a stator or a stator circuit arranged to cooperate with the rotor and produce the electric currents;
• the rotor is constituted by a cross-flow turbine, the axis of rotation of which extends across the conduit segment, the turbine comprising at the longitudinal ends of its axis of rotation, means (24) for holding against the opposite walls of the conduit segment;
• the stator or stator circuit being positioned outside the conduit segment at the level of one end of the turbine which can be driven in rotation during the movement of the turbine, and comprises means for generating a magnetic flux in order to cooperate with said stator or stator circuit to produce the electric current.
