Abstract

The present invention provides a simple and effective passive turbine unit that uses the flow of water or air to rotate a main runner and produce continuous and intermittent electricity from streams, rivers, tidal water and high wind areas. The turbine unit may be installed as an individual unit or in combination with other turbine units. In an alternative configuration the turbine units may be stacked on top of one another. The turbine units are capable of working in a bi-directional flow of water or air, and are scalable to meet the needs of a user. The turbine unit is particularly suited for use within undeveloped areas that do not have access to electricity but do have access to streams, rivers, tidal waters, or high wind areas.
