GENERATOR FOR FLUID-DRIVEN PRODUCTION OF ELECTRIC ENERGY AND A METHOD OF MAKING THE GENERATOR
First Claim
1. A generator comprising a stator provided with at least one coil connected to at least one electric circuit, and also a rotor provided with at least one permanent magnet, wherein said stator is formed as a turbine housing having at least one internal cavity;
- wherein at least one independent rotor body is arranged in said cavity, and the rotor body is without a fixed mechanical support in the turbine housing;
wherein the turbine housing comprises at least one supply channel and at least one discharge channel connected to said cavity for throughput of a generator-driving fluid;
wherein the cavity is of a circular shape along at least one path of rotation therein;
wherein the rotor body is of a rotary-symmetrical shape for allowing rotation of the rotor body along the at least one path of rotation in the cavity; and
wherein the turbine housing is provided with at least one coil at the periphery of the cavity, wherein the rotor body is provided with at least one permanent magnet at the periphery of the rotor body;
wherein said fluid may be conducted onwards to the cavity in order to rotate the rotor body in the cavity for production of electric energy from the coil.

Abstract
A generator (20) for in situ fluid-driven production of electric energy and also a method of making the generator (20), which comprises a stator and a rotor. The stator is formed as a turbine housing (1) having at least one internal cavity (2) within which at least one independent rotor body (3) is arranged without a fixed mechanical support in the turbine housing (1). The turbine housing (1) comprises at least one supply channel (8) and at least one discharge channel (9) connected to the cavity (2) for throughput of a generator-driving fluid (13). The cavity (2) is of a circular shape along at least one path of rotation therein, whereas the rotor body (3) is of a rotary-symmetrical shape for allowing rotation thereof along said path of rotation. The turbine housing (1) is provided with at least one coil (5) at the periphery of the cavity (2), whereas the rotor body (3) is provided with at least one permanent magnet (4) at the periphery of the rotor body (3).
