Zusammenfassung: | The APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR HARNESSING THE ENERGY OF FLUID FLOW TO GENERATE ELECTRICITY OR PUMP FLUID include a device which, when placed in fluid-flow, harnesses the kinetic energy of the flow to generate electricity or to perform useful mechanical work such as pumping. For example, the undulating mechanical action of traveling waves along flexible fins may be harnessed by summing the varying speeds and torques along the fins into a unified circulatory system for power take-off or fluid extraction. The device may include two fins, a chassis, and bellows/pistons/rotary vanes and the like which are connected via a circulatory system of tubes or conduits. |
