A power generator for use in a bore, the power generator comprising at least one drivable member; and at least one generation apparatus; the generation apparatus comprising at least one generator magnet for producing a magnetic field; and at least one electrically conductive member located or locatable within the magnetic field; wherein the drivable member is drivable by fluid flowing in the bore so as to produce relative motion of the at least one magnet and the at least one electrically conductive member in order to induce a current in the at least one electrically conductive member.

Apparatus for power generation

A turbine for use in extracting energy from fluid flowing along a fluid channel defines a portion of the fluid channel and includes a flow pathway in communication with the fluid channel. A moveable element, such as a rotor, is disposed around the fluid channel and is moveable under the action of fluid flowing along the flow pathway so as to extract energy therefrom. The turbine may be associated with other apparatus in the fluid system, and may be capable of storing extracted energy for later use.
