ABSTRACT:
A fluid powered motor-generator apparatus includes a generator having a power output and a mechanically driven input. A generally streamlined motor body is rotatably mounted to drive the generator input and includes a plurality of radially extending generally V-shaped fins mounted on an outside surface thereof. The fins are mounted on brackets above an outer surface of the motor body and have a convex pointed side facing in the direction of rotation and a concave open side facing in a direction opposite to the direction of rotation. Thus, the action of a stream of fluid on the fins tends to rotate the motor body and drive the generator. If the motor-generator apparatus is mounted in water, the generator can be enclosed in another streamlined body which is anchored to the bed of the body of water. A third streamlined motor body can be attached to the bottom of the generator body with a plurality of radially extending fins oriented to cause it to rotate opposite to the direction of rotation of the first streamlined motor body.
