Abstract:
Fluid distribution systems comprising a wireless, self-recharging fluid distribution system and method for their use. In a preferred example, the fluid distribution system is an automated or semi-automated on-command hot water system, wherein the wireless, self-recharging fluid distribution system comprises a fluid turbine and a battery, for converting fluid flow into electricity to recharge the battery. In certain examples, the wireless, self-recharging fluid distribution system also comprises a sensor component, such as a sensor selected from the group consisting of a pressure sensor, a moisture sensor, a sound-receiving sensor, a temperature sensor, a flow sensor, and a chemical sensor. In some examples such fluid distribution systems may be of particular use in environments having limited access to electricity, such as vessels, mobile homes, trailers, and “of the grid” structures having no access to dependable electricity supply.

Claim (Index 26):
A wireless, self-recharging fluid distribution system component comprising\n a) a fluid line segment having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, b) an automated valve component disposed within said fluid line segment and structured to be actuated wirelessly to open and close a fluid connection between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet, and c) a sensor component; wherein said wireless, self-recharging fluid distribution system component comprises\n d) a generator component turbine disposed within said fluid line segment and being structured to rotate when water flows therethrough; \n e) a rechargeable battery component electrically connected to and charged by said generator component turbine and electrically connected to and powering said automated valve component; \n said wireless, self-recharging fluid distribution system component comprising a wireless receiver/transmitter enabled to wirelessly transmit sensor data to a controller component, and to open or close the automated valve component in response to commands wirelessly received from the controller component; said wireless, self-recharging fluid distribution system component consisting of a single automated valve component.
