Abstract:
A fluid fluid or water meter system includes a fluid supply and a receiving center.  20, 30  connected via a supply line  21.  Further, a fluid metering member  40  is coupled to the supply line  21,  and includes a fluid regulating member  41  to regulate the fluid therethrough, and a data transceiver  42,  coupled to the fluid regulating member  41  to regulate the supply of fluid. A self-power generating source is also provided for the continuous charging of the fluid metering member. Various self-generating sources, such as, a thermoelectric generator, a water battery, a power turbine, and radio spectrum may be used for said purpose. The system can be provided with rechargeable battery for charging the battery and storing power. Moreover, a network operation center  60  is further developed to include information technology and information technology.  40.  Further in an optional embodiment, including the smart system, including an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) module  2030  for self-training. The self-taught smart system identifies individual events (eg, flushing, showering, washing machine cycles, etc.), and limiting the flow of the total volume.

Claim (Index 17):
The fluid meter method of  claim 16 , wherein self-powering comprises:\n thermoelectrically charging the fluid metering devices via a thermoelectric generator power source, the thermoelectric generator power source comprising: a through pipe having couplers at both opposite end portions, the through pipe enable a flow of fluid therethrough, the fluid being cold; a thermal transfer block having a through recess to accommodate the through pipe and sense the temperature of the fluid; a heat-sink element adapted to sense ambient air temperature from surrounding, the ambient air temperature being hotter; a Peltier device disposed around the thermal transfer block and covered via the heat-sink element to be in direct contact therewith to sense and convert the temperature differential across the heat sink element and the through pipe, and resulting heat flow therethrough, into a voltage; and a printed-circuit board (PCB) disposed around the thermal transfer block and electrically coupled to the Peltier device to supply the voltage to the fluid metering member for continuous operation, wherein the PCB comprises: a self-oscillating step up transformer and an initial regulator for channelizing the voltage; and an optional voltage step-up to generate a resultant voltage up to the right level depending upon the requirement based on the channelized voltage.
