Patent ID: 7722313

Claim:
A device for converting kinetic energy contained in a fluid, into mechanical energy, coupled to an either gaseous or liquid fluid mass (Mf) outlet secondary conduit ( 1 ), characterized by being constituted by a fixed main conduit ( 3 ) receptor of said fluid mass and a movable conduit ( 4 ) coaxially fitted to said fixed conduit ( 3 ); this movable conduit ( 4 ) has attached to its free end an axial flow rotor ( 12 ) and associated to an outer supporting frame ( 17 ), including this assembly a flange ( 2 ) abutting with said fixed conduit ( 3 ), both conduits ( 3 , 4 ) are assembled by a fitting device comprising a lid ( 5 ), sealing washers ( 6 ), bearings ( 7 ) and retaining ring ( 8 ) acting on spacing sleeves ( 9 , 10 ) and a locking nut ( 11 ); the movable conduit ( 4 ) attached to the rotor rotates along its axis and coaxial to said fixed conduit ( 3 ) without a major axial displacement; within said rotor ( 12 ) is lodged a hub ( 13 ) and a deflector ( 14 ) capable of directing the fluid's flow toward passages within the hollow blades ( 15 ) and their corresponding exits at the end of each blade, constituting each one of said exit outlets an ejector means ( 16 ) for the fluid (S 1 ), thereby achieving the rotational movement of the rotor on its axis; attached to said rotor there is a driven shaft ( 20 ) with coupling means ( 21 ) to the shaft ( 22 ) of an electrical generator ( 23 ), said deflector ( 14 ) has a curved ascending profile capable of directing the fluid's flow towards the inner passage of the rotor's hollow blades, said supporting frame ( 17 ) is totally or partially absent and the driven shaft is profiled at its free end to receive a pulley wheel ( 24 ) therein fixed by means of a cotter ( 25 ) and retaining nuts ( 26 ).
