The invention takes energy from the periphery of a hydro electric turbine blade to produce electricity by mechanically driving a plurality of generators without the use of a hydraulic system.
Claims10
A turbine which has a plurality of electric generators attached to its housing and said plurality of electric generators get rotational energy from the periphery of at least one turbine blade, which rotates within and is held in place by said turbine housing and at least one electric generator having a devise mechanically attached to the shaft of said at least one electric generator which said device gets its rotational energy from being pressed against the rim of a turbine blade and said turbine having an open area through the center of its blade which reduces the weight and drag of said blade.
