Title

(EN) RECIRCULATING HYDROPOWER SYSTEM

(FR) SYSTÈME HYDROÉLECTRIQUE À RECIRCULATION

Abstract

(EN) The present invention provides a system for generating electricity comprising a drum having an inlet and an outlet, a lower frustro-conical portion, and preferably an upper frustro-conical portion; a pump in operative connection with the inlet for supplying a fluid to the drum at a desired velocity; and a turbine located within the drum adjacent the outlet, and in operative connection to a generator; wherein the fluid supplied by the pump to the drum is subjected to centrifugal force before passing through the outlet and returning to the pump.

(FR) La présente invention concerne un système de production d'électricité comprenant un tambour présentant une entrée et une sortie, une partie tronconique inférieure, et de préférence une partie tronconique supérieure ; une pompe en liaison fonctionnelle avec l'entrée pour fournir un fluide au tambour à une vitesse souhaitée ; et une turbine située à l'intérieur du tambour adjacente à la sortie, et en liaison fonctionnelle avec un générateur. Le fluide fourni par la pompe au tambour est soumis à une force centrifuge avant de passer à travers la sortie et de revenir à la pompe.
