Claim Text:
1. A generator system with a generator fluidly connected between a first preexisting pipe with a first preexisting pipe inner diameter and a second preexisting pipe with a second preexisting pipe inner diameter for flowing a fluid, the generator comprising: a. a first preexisting pipe flange with a first plurality of fasteners, the first preexisting pipe flange engaging the first preexisting pipe without forming any holes in the first preexisting pipe; b. a second preexisting pipe flange with a second plurality of fasteners, the second preexisting pipe flange engaging the second preexisting pipe without forming any holes in the second preexisting pipe; c. a non-magnetic section of pipe having a non-magnetic section of pipe inner diameter; d. a first generator flange engaging simultaneously the non-magnetic section of pipe and the first preexisting pipe flange without forming any holes in the non-magnetic section of pipe; e. a second generator flange engaging simultaneously the non-magnetic section of pipe and the second preexisting pipe flange without forming any holes in the non-magnetic section of pipe; f. a plurality of coils circumferentially secured on the non-magnetic section of pipe for generating current; g. a rotating drum mounted within the non-magnetic section of pipe, the rotating drum comprising a plurality of angled blades, the rotating drum longitudinally extending within the non-magnetic section of pipe; h. a plurality of rare earth magnets circumferentially secured to the rotating drum, the plurality of rare earth magnets configured to energize the plurality of coils; i. a first bearing positioned in the non-magnetic section of pipe at a downstream location to the rotating drum, wherein the first bearing is either an angular contact bearing or a radial bearing with a thrust bearing; j. a second bearing positioned in the non-magnetic section of pipe at an upstream location to the rotating drum; k. a pair of annular rings mounted to the non-magnetic section of pipe, the pair of angular rings configured for containing the at least one first bearing and the rotating drum within the non-magnetic section of pipe, each annular ring is configured with an aerodynamic shape to optimize gas flow through the generator; and l. a junction box electrically connected to the plurality of coils for receiving energy produced by the plurality of coils and transmitting the current; and
