AERATOR WITH LED
First Claim
1. An aerator with a light emitting diode (LED) comprising:
- a case having an inlet at one end and a spout at another end, the case further having a generator with a rotator facing the inlet, the generator configured to power an LED;
a water fairing member disposed in the case through the inlet, the water fairing member having an annular slot facing the inlet of the case, a plurality of inlet apertures disposed at a bottom of the annular slot;
the water fairing member further having a containment space facing the generator, the containment space covering the rotator of the generator;
the containment space having a plurality of outlet apertures, the inlet apertures facing a center of the water fairing member and helically connected to the outlet apertures, the inlet apertures tapering towards the outlet apertures to cause interaction with the rotator to drive the generator; and
a throttle ring disposed in the annular slot of the water fairing member, the throttle ring being adjacent to an inner edge of the annular slot.
