Abstract:
1. A hydro power turbine generator for generating electrical power from a naturally occurring water flow, said hydro power turbine positioned submerged in said water flow and characterized by an augmented water flow velocity through: a. a shrouded turbine casing comprised of a shroud affixed to a turbine casing to augment the water flow velocity within said hydro power turbine by compressing the water flow traversing said hydro power turbine with therefore said shroud acting as a compression shroud; b. a central cone and tube positioned and attached inside said shrouded turbine casing to further augment the water flow velocity within said hydro power turbine by further compressing the water flow traversing said hydro power turbine; c. an induced water flow vortex inside said hydro power turbine generated by a spiraling helix affixed to the interior surface of said shrouded turbine casing and a spiraling helix affixed to the exterior surface of said central cone and tube to augment the water flow velocity within said hydro power turbine; d. an electric generator rotor with an annular shape and turbine blades affixed to the interior side of said electric generator rotor and with said electric generator rotor set in motion by the augmented water flow velocity of said induced water flow vortex inside said hydro power turbine with said electric generator rotor affixed to said hydro power turbine casing at the diametrically opposite end of where the shroud of said shrouded turbine casing is positioned; e. an electric generator stator affixed to said hydro power turbine casing and overlapping said electric generator rotor to generate electric power.
