Abstract
Briefly stated, in accordance with the present subject matter, a generator system is provided. The assembly includes a turbine to be driven by exhaust air and a casing surrounding the turbine. The exhaust air issues from an exhaust structure. The turbine and the casing are each supported independently of the exhaust structure by a support structure. A generator is mechanically coupled to the turbine. The support structure is proportioned to mount the generator system in a selected juxtaposition with a preselected exhaust structure. A generator provides power to an output conductor. Power conditioning apparatus may be included in the system or may be located remotely.
