Portable turbine

This device is a turbine constructed with interchangeable blades and a stainless metal frame. It is placed in a water flow, where the movement of the water activates the turbine to generate power. It is effective in shallow and low-velocity waters.

The device is a turbine built on a stainless metal frame, together with interchangeable blades, which is placed in a water flow to operate it. The water will move the turbine and start producing energy, it is designed to be effective in shallow and low-speed waters. The river current allows the rotary movement of the turbines, which activates the generator. The resulting energy is converted into electricity thanks to the built-in smart converter. This converted energy is then sent to the batteries through an electric cable, the batteries are recharged 24 hours a day and, from there, an inverter transforms the direct current into alternating current to power electrical devices such as the systematization of an irrigation system or the electricity needed to maintain a greenhouse.
