Abstract

This invention utilizes a renewable fluid that is circulated through out this invention. The fluid is pumped into the inlets of the turbine where the jet-powered nozzles are positioned. The jet-powered nozzles produce a high velocity stream of fluid that is thrust against the vanes or fins of the turbine wheel thereby causing the turbine wheel to rotate. The rotation of the turbine generates torque in the drive shaft, which powers the generator to generate electricity.
