Submersible Turbine-Generator Unit For Ocean And Tidal Currents
Submersible Turbine-Generator Unit For Ocean And Tidal Currents
US Patent:
7902687, Mar 8, 2011
Filed:
Oct 19, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/975581
Inventors:
Christopher R. Sauer - Tampa FL, US
Charles D. Syverson - North Mankato MN, US
Patrick McGinnis - Jenkintown PA, US

Assignee:
Ocean Renewable Power Company, LLC - Portland ME
International Classification:
F03B 7/00
US Classification:
290 54, 415 7
Abstract:
A submersible turbine-generator unit includes two or more turbines mounted on a common shaft with a generator therebetween. Each such turbine is capable of providing relatively low-speed, unidirectional rotation under a reversible ultra low head pressure and/or low velocity fluid flow. A plurality of airfoil-shaped turbine blades mount parallel to the common shaft and transversely to the direction of fluid flow for rotation in a plane parallel to the fluid flow. The turbines convert energy in the waterway currents into mechanical energy that will transfer through the turbine shaft to a cylindrical permanent magnet generator which will convert mechanical energy in the form of RPM and torque into electricity. Electricity from the variable speed electric generator is controlled, synchronized, conditioned and transformed into utility-grade electricity using a power electronics system in each module.

Filed:
Nov 19, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/985971

Assignee:
Ocean Renewable Power Company, LLC - Portland ME
International Classification:
F03B 3/12
US Classification:
415 72, 416176
Abstract:
A turbine includes a plurality of blades that rotate in a single direction when exposed to fluid flow, wherein the plurality of blades are joined to the central shaft by a plurality of radial spokes disposed substantially perpendicular to the central shaft such that the rotating plurality of blades causes the shaft to rotate. The plurality of blades has a uniform airfoil-shaped cross section, where the airfoil cross section presents a non-zero angle of attack to the current. The plurality of blades wind in a spiral trajectory, rotating around the central shaft and having a variable radius along the length of the central shaft such that a distance measured from the plurality of blades to the center shaft is greater near the center of the turbine than at either end.

International Classification:
B26D 3/00, B23P 15/02
US Classification:
83 54, 298897
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a method of manufacturing a turbine blade. The method comprises selecting a pipe having a specific inner diameter, length and wall thickness, cutting the pipe along a spiral trajectory to produce a coil, securing the coil, and shaping the coil to create a uniform hydrofoil cross section along the length of the coil.
