Abstract

A device for use in liquid or gas pipelines comprising a turbine wheel mounted on a body with the blades of the turbine wheel being set at an acute angle with respect to the direction of fluid flow. At least one row of supporting rollers are connected to the turbine wheel with the axles of these rollers set at an angle .beta. with respect to the direction of movement of the device in the fluid flow, and another row of supporting rollers are mounted on the body, with all supporting rollers having freedom to move radially with respect to the axis of the pipeline.

Dependent claims

A device for pipeline transportation of loads by the flow of fluid comprising:

a body;
a turbine wheel mounted on said body;
blades of said turbine wheel set at an acute angle to the direction of the fluid flow;
supporting rollers arranged at least in two rows and capable of moving radially with respect to the pipeline axis;
said supporting rollers of at least one row mechanically linked with said turbine wheel;
said supporting rollers of the other row mounted on said body;
axles of said supporting rollers connected with said turbine wheel and set at an angle to the direction of the fluid flow, the value of said angle depending on the direction of movement of the device in the fluid flow.
