Turbine driven with a fluid medium

A method of continuous production of electric energy from flowing water, wherein said production of electric energy is achieved by the use of a turbine comprising number of shaped foils (5) of a suitable length, width and thickness, each foil (5) being attached with the upper part of its shaft (6) to a rotating, discoid, supporting structure (3) which is connected to the main shaft (2) of the turbine, and the longitudinal shaft (6) of each said foil (5) being mainly parallel with the main shaft (2), each foil (5) is equipped with a separate step motor (8) and respective first encoder (16);

• and the main shaft (2) is equipped with a second encoder (18) and circuit breaker (19);
• by the use of an external device (22) the speed of the water (11) is measured, the signals obtained from said encoders (16,18) and said measuring device (22) are sent to a computer (23) wherein the signals are processed by the use of a particular computer programme and the output signals are sent to each of said step motors (8) which will pivot its connected foil (5) around its longitudinal shaft (6), independently of all the other foils (5), so that the main surface of said foil (5) will be in a desired angle of attack relative to the direction of the flowing water (11), thus obtaining a maximum exerted force onto each said foil (5), which will bring the main shaft (2) of the turbine to rotate and the generator to generate electric energy.
