CONVERTER OF FLUID MEDIUM ENERGY (VERSIONS) Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC F03D5/04 F03B17/06 

FIELD: engines and pumps.

SUBSTANCE: converter of fluid medium energy is related to the field of renewable energy sources, namely to energy of river or gas and its conversion mainly to electric energy. Converter comprises frame and cinematically connected the first and second, third and fourth vanes, the first and second overrunning clutches installed on central shaft, power generator, magnets installed in vanes. Converter is equipped with conical pair of gears that interact with multiplier and power generator, the first, second, third and fourth central sprockets, which interact with each other by the first and second units of vane opening and closing, and also third and fourth overrunning clutches, the first, second, third and fourth chains. The first - fourth vanes are installed on frame with the possibility to make reciprocal motion in direction of medium flow and to interact via the first - fourth chains with appropriate central sprockets. Every vane comprises vertical stand and two folding halves, on upper end of every vane half there is a pair of bearings installed, which interact with units of opening and closing of vane. Magnet is installed on every half of vane, and stand of vane is fixed to chain. In the end of working stroke every half of vane via bearings is arranged as interacting with appropriate units of vane closing, and in the end of passive stroke folded halves of vane are arranged as interacting with appropriate units of vane opening.

EFFECT: design simplification and reduction of converter prime cost.
