Hybrid generator

This invention describes a power generator that uses flowing fluid, like water or wind, to spin a rotor inside a housing, generating electricity. A key feature is that the rotor has a main blade and a second blade that can be easily attached or removed, allowing it to be adapted for different conditions. The generator also includes a separate compartment for a battery and an inverter to store and convert the generated electricity.

Why it matters: The modular blade design and integrated power storage could benefit from advances in 3D printing for custom parts and more efficient, compact power electronics since 2016.

Status: ExpiredProtection ended and was never renewed
How hard to build: ModerateCustom housing, rotor, blades, electrical integration.
