Micro Magnetic Driven Bidirectional Turbine for Hydropower Generation

Water supply pipelines monitoring systems are composed of sensors and meters, which need power supply through batteries, which need to be replaced frequently.

The application of magnetic coupling inthe developed turbine for avoiding leakage and water pollution make the turbine more reliable. This turbine is helpful to continuous monitoring of leakage and water quality, which can reduce environmental influence caused by waste batteries.

As most water monitoring sensors or meters are powered by chemical batteries, the monitoring system would die once the batteries ran out. Application of the proposed technology can not only make water monitoring more reliable and continuous, but also reduce the high cost and huge labor demand for batteries replacement.
