Abstract
The generator comprises at least one source of pressurized gas and a closed hydraulic circuit containing a solution comprising an electrically conducting vehicle liquid in which a charge of micro- or nanoparticles of a metal material is dispersed. The circuit has The generator also comprises magnetic field generating devices, associated with a length of the hydraulic circuit lying between the inlet port and the restriction in cross section in order to generate an induction flux (10) at right angles to the direction of flow of the solution in that length of circuit, and The arrangement is such that, when in operation, an electric current whose strength depends on the flow velocity of the solution in that length of the hydraulic circuit, the strength of the associated magnetic field and the electrical resistance between the electrodes flows between the electrodes.
