Abstract

The invention consists of developing an environmentally friendly new energy converter using light weight material. The energy converter shall be fully submersed in running undercurrents waters and have high overall efficiency ratio. The energy converter consists of, among other things, eliminating the in-line electric generator and substitute it with peripheral electro-magnetic coupling device, attached to the runner tip from inside and surrounding the energy converter housing from outside. The energy converter electric brushless circuits and winding must be totally sealed from water, using new sealing techniques and shall be also electrically isolated as well. The energy converter allows extracting energies from undercurrents with large frequency and voltage ranges.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a power generation system and to a component for simultaneous energy conversion while submerged in water and for extracting energy from subsurface water flow and converting it into electricity. Background technique [0002] Energy extraction and conversion underwater is well known: eg US Patent Nos. 6,168,373; 6,139,255; and WO-02-27151. However, the existing technologies are not satisfactory in terms of economy, environmental noise and sustainable energy extraction. [0003] Thus, it is desirable to achieve advances that allow economical, noise-friendly and sustainable energy extraction. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0004] It is an object of the present invention to provide a submerged turbine comprising: a flow device having an inlet, an outlet, an inner surface and an outer surface; a rotor assembly adapted to convert kinetic energy from the water flow into rotational energy, the rotor assembly including an impeller...
