Abstract
There is provided a power generation and distribution system for use in combination with a utility conduit having fluid passing therethrough. The power generation and distribution system includes a rotation element disposable within the utility conduit. The rotation element rotates in response to fluid passing within the utility conduit. A power generator is in mechanical communication with the rotation element, and generates power in response to rotation of the rotation element. This system also includes a power distributor in electrical communication with the power generator and electrically connectable to a power outlet to distribute power thereto.
