Abstract: A turbine for an underwater power station includes a rotor drum having blades that for each revolution are moved in and out of the drum, where the two end-edges of each of the blades are arranged slidingly in a corresponding stabilizing, linear, radially-oriented grooves in a rotational plate that is oriented perpendicular to the rotational axle. This way, the ends of the blades are supported when exposed to water flow while being outside the drum.

Abstract: There is provided a system and method for producing liquefied natural gas (LNG). An exemplary method includes flowing a high-pressure stream of LNG through a first series of liquid turbines. The exemplary method also includes generating electricity by reducing the pressure of the high-pressure stream of LNG to form a low-pressure stream of LNG. The exemplary method additionally includes bypassing any one the liquid turbines that has a failure while continuing to produce electricity from the first series.

Abstract: A marine current turbine rotor comprises a hub and fixed and two or more pitchable blade sections configured to reduce bending moment loads on the pitch bearings and enable the use of non-standard, low-cost structural materials for the hub, blades, and pitch shaft. A submersible pitch drive mechanism or linkage in the hub rotates the pitch shaft to cause the pitchable blade section to move to a specified pitch position. The hub cavity is configured to be “wet” without the expense and maintenance requirement of seals to prevent water intrusion, utilizing water-lubricated pitch bearings.
