SELSAM DOUGLAS SPRIGGS.
A fluid current motor for exrtacting energy, in the form of shaft rotation capable of driving a load (6)
from a fluid flow relative to a surface (1), comprising: A resiliently flexible tower/ drive shaft (10)
having a stiffness, having a basal end (7) and a distal end (9) said tower/drive shaft (10) projecting
substantially proximate said basal end (7), substantially away from said surface (1);
A cantilevered bearing means (5) which rotatably supports said tower/drive shaft (10), in a contilevered
manner, substantially from said basal end (7); a multiplicity of fluid reactive rotors (13,44), coaxially
attached at spaced intervals to a section of said tower/drive shaft (10);
Wherein: Said tower/drive shaft (10) is caused by said fluid flow to become sufficiently properly
oriented to said fluid flow that said rotors (13) are caused by said fluid flow torotate, there by causing
the tower/drive shaft (10) to rotate, along its entire length, so that useful power in the form of shaft (10)
rotation is drawn there from, proximate said basal end (7).
