Claim Text:
1. An electrical generation system comprising: a wind turbine comprising a rotating shaft; a fluidic pump mechanically coupled to the rotating shaft; a pressure vessel; a fluidicly-powered electric generator; a first valve fluidicly coupled between the fluidic pump and the pressure vessel; a second valve fluidicly coupled between the pressure vessel and the fluidicly-powered electric generator; and a return flow path from the fluidicly-powered electric generator to the fluidic pump; wherein rotational motion from the wind turbine causes the fluidic pump to pressurize a fluid, and the pressurized fluid moves through the pressure vessel and energizes the fluidicly-powered electric generator, thereby generating electricity.
