Abstract
A fluid pressure driven generator which includes a generator housing and a rotor positioned within the generator housing. The rotor will have an internal offset gear which is engaged by a spur gear on a power shaft. A high fluid pressure inlet will be formed in the housing and connected to a source of high pressure fluid. The housing will also have low pressure outlet which will feed a source of low pressure fluid.
Claims21
