ABSTRACT:
Hydraulic air compressor and turbine apparatus includes a hydraulic air compressor having an air intake disposed above the water intake for entraining air in falling water, and the output of the hydraulic air compressor is used as a compressed air source for a turbine. The turbine apparatus includes a regenerator for heating the incoming compressed air output from the hydraulic air compressor. The hydraulic air compressor may include a pump for providing a flow of water for entraining and compressing air to provide a closed cycle system, and it may include an air pump or fan to increase the amount of air entrained in a given flow of water. Several different structures for negating a loss of water velocity are also disclosed, and several different turbine systems are disclosed.
