US Patent:

8496429, Jul 30, 2013

Filed:

Dec 23, 2009

Appl. No.:

13/141724

Inventors:

Dominick Daniel Martino - Levittown PA, US

International Classification:

F03D 7/00

US Classification:

415 44, 416 93 R, 416197 A

Abstract:

A prime mover that is powered by the energy of a fluid is provided. Such a prime mover may include a first fairing, a second fairing spaced apart from the first fairing to define a gap therebetween and a blade assembly mounted on a shaft that extends between the first and second fairings. The first and second fairings each have a curved peripheral edge for guiding a fluid into the gap at an increased velocity. When the fluid flows into the gap it contacts the blade assembly to thereby rotate the blade assembly about an axis that is defined by the shaft. The rotation of the blade assembly may be used to generate power in a power generator. The prime mover may be mounted on a cell phone tower and used to generate electricity for powering components of the tower and/or for providing electricity to the power grid.
