Abstract
An energy generating system for transforming energy of fluid flow into electric energy, the system, at least in operation, comprising: a flow-changing member having a peripheral rim and mounted in a fluid path having a path surface, so as to be at least partially surrounded by said path surface, said flow-changing member being displaceable between a first position, in which at least a portion of the rim is spaced from a corresponding portion of the path surface to a first extent and a second position, in which said portion of the rim is spaced from said portion of the fluid path surface to a second extent greater than said first extent, so that increase of total volumetric flow rate of said fluid above a predetermined threshold to an increased volumetric flow rate is configured to induce displacement of said flow-changing member from said first position toward said second position, thereby causing the volumetric flow rate of said fluid at said spacing to be above said increased volumetric flow rate; and a turbine mounted in fluid communication with said fluid path at a location other than said spacing, whereby said displacement causes the volumetric flow rate of said fluid at said turbine to be below said increased volumetric flow rate.
