Claim:
1. A turbine for generating electricity from a pressurized fluid, the turbine comprising: a generally cylindrical housing defining a generally cylindrical hollow interior, and a housing opening in the side thereof; a nozzle having a nozzle inlet configured to receive a pressurized fluid stored in a tank, and a nozzle outlet in communication with the housing opening; a rotor assembly situated for rotation inside the generally cylindrical hollow interior of the generally cylindrical housing, the rotor assembly having: a first annular coil housing having a plurality of coils arranged radially about the first annular coil housing, and axially adjacent the magnet poles of the ends of the rods at the first end cap, each coil having two terminals that extend from the first annular coil housing through and to the exterior of the generally cylindrical housing; a second annular coil housing having a plurality of coils arranged radially about the second annular coil housing, and axially adjacent the magnet poles of the ends of the rods at the second end cap, each coil having two terminals that extend from the first annular coil housing through and to the exterior of the generally cylindrical housing; a first bearing situated in an end of the interior of the housing and having a central bore sized to receive and rotatably retain the central hub of the first end cap; and a second bearing situated in an opposite end of the interior of the housing and having a central bore sized to receive and rotatably retain the central hub of the second end cap; whereby as the rotor assembly is rotated by pressurized fluid received into and then out from the nozzle, the magnet poles at the ends of the first and second end caps rotate relative to the fixed plurality of coils of the first and second annular coil housings respectively, such that the movement of the magnets over the plurality of coils of the first and second annular coil housings induce a flow of electricity in the plurality of coils.
