- each of the coupling units 106 is made up of a set of gears.
- the set of gears includes a main gear 306 coupled to a hub 304 of the spinner unit 102 for rotation along with the spinner unit 102 and a plurality of pinion gears, such as pinion gears 308-1 and 308-2 (collectively referred to as pinion gear 308).
- the pinion gears 308 can be pivotally fixed on a housing 318 of the corresponding electric power generator 104 around the main gear 306 such that when the main gear 306 rotates along with the spinner unit 102, the pinion gears 308 also rotate about their respective pivot axis.
- the spinner unit 102 can have the hub 304 that is mounted on the pillar 140 through the set of bearings 402, 404, 406 (refer to FIGs. 4A -4C), and a plurality of blades 302.
- the blades 302 can be cup shaped having a concave side and a convex side.
- the cup shape of the blades 302 can be configured such that force exerted by the stream of the corresponding fluid on concave side of the blades is more than force exerted by the same stream on convex side of the blades to make the spinner unit rotate in a preferred direction irrespective of direction of wind or water stream.
- the stream of fluid may be directed to the concave side of the blades 302 preventing the stream from impinging on the convex side of the blade 302. Such an arrangement can help in improving power harnessing efficiency of the spinner unit 102.
- the system 100 can incorporate means to recycle a small amount of energy to keep the spinning unit rotating at a low speed even when there is no external source, i.e. wind or water stream.
- FIG. 3C shows an exploded view of the electric power generators 104 showing pinion gears 308 coupled to the electric power generators.
- each of the pinion gears 308 can be fixed to one end of a shaft 316 that rotates freely relative to the housing 318.
- Other end of the shaft 316 can be coupled to a rotor 314 of an electric power generator of the set of electric power generators 104 so that the rotor 314 rotates along with the pinion gear 308.
- the rotor 314 can be located within a stator 312 of the corresponding electric power generator.
- the stator 312 can include coils and the rotor 314 can have magnets. Therefore, when the rotor 314 rotates along with the pinion gear 308 electric power is generated by the coils of the stator 312, which is harnessed through cable 310.
- FIGs. 5A and 5B illustrate exemplary views showing arrangement of a number of vertical pillars to create an array of multiple spinner units in in different planes to harness wind energy.
- FIG. 5A shows a central pillar with a ladder and walkways for the purpose of repair.

- the pivoted outlet door 802 may also be biased by a tension rope 810 towards the closed position as shown in FIG. 8D.
- Two side triangular plates 808 can be provided on two opposite vertical sides of the outlet door 802 that slide along the side walls of the sea wave governor chamber 120 to prevent water from escaping through side gaps during movement of the outlet door 802.
- the outlet door 802 includes a plurality of vertically oriented slits 804 with progressively reducing slope as shown in FIG. 8B.
- the progressively reducing slope of the slits 804 can be configured to direct water from sea waves to a desired location on the spinner unit 102 such that the blades can turn in one direction only.
- the sea wave governor chamber 120 can further include a horizontally oriented awning like plate 804, as shown in FIG. 8C and 8E, fixed to the outlet door 802 along an upper side of the outlet door 802.
- the awning like plate 804 directs water downwards towards the corresponding spinning wheel 102.
- the at least one sea wave governor chamber may include an inlet door 812, as shown in FIG. 8E, that opens to allow sea water to enter the sea wave governor chamber 120 under influence of the sea waves, and closes to prevent the sea water from going back when the sea waves recede.
- FIG. 9 shows an alternate sea wave governor chamber 902 that includes a duct 904 on an outlet side to direct water from sea waves to a desired location on the spinner unit 102, such as concave side of the blades 302 of the spinner unit 102. This facilitates a smoother and substantially continuous water flow.
