Title:
水圧ホイール
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2006507448
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
The invention concerns a turbine comprising: a rotary mobile part called rotor ( 1 ) consisting of a set of blades ( 2 ) variable in number, the assembly rotating about a horizontal axis ( 6 ), one or more stationary parts ( 4 ), acting as barrier for retaining the water level; a water intake channel ( 15 ) and a water discharge channel ( 16 ). The invention is characterized in that the shape of the cylindrical ring of the mobile part ( 1 ), which enables, in the volume left free by its movement, provision of the water retaining element ( 4 ) wherein are installed the mechanical elements constituting the speed-increasing and brake units. Such a design enables kinetic energy and water-level potential energy to be used in the intake channel ( 15 ). Said water wheel is designed for use of water energy of rivers and tides to transform mechanical energy which may or may not be transformed into electricity.
