Abstract
A kinetic energy recovery device of liquid and gas has a gas guide member and a liquid guide member both being stood, and a vane wheel installed at communicating portion between the gas guide member and the liquid guide member, and at rising of gas in the gas guide member and flowing-down of liquid in the liquid guide member, the vane wheel is supplied with the rotating force and therefore rotated. A generator connected to a rotary shaft of the vane wheel is rotated, and both kinetic energies of the gas and the liquid act simultaneously and the power generation is performed and the energy is recovered. The vane wheel is installed to each of the gas guide member and the liquid guide member, and the rotary shafts of respective vane wheels are interlocked and rotated simultaneously, thereby the generator may be rotated by both kinetic energies of the gas and the liquid.
