Patent ID: 8129855

Claim:
A portable turbine system comprising: a hub with a plurality of paddles; a housing; an axle holding the hub in the housing; an input channel connected to the housing; an output channel connected to the housing; a gear structure, with a plurality of gears, with at least one gear fixed to at least a portion of the hub; a generator connected to a last gear of the gear structure; and a plurality of electrical components on a substrate electrically connected to an output of the generator; wherein as a fluid enters the input channel and exits the output channel, the fluid turns the paddles, which turns the hub, and the gears to enable the generator to generate electricity, which is used by the electrical components to perform a function, wherein the housing includes a side surface and a second surface, wherein the plurality of gears of the gear structure extend towards an end of the side surface, with the last gear extended towards the end of the side surface being connected to the generator, wherein the substrate is coupled to the second surface, and wherein the generator extends towards the housing and the generator's outputs are configured to be connected to the plurality of electrical components on the substrate.
