Abstract
Fluid distribution systems comprising a wireless, self-recharging fluid distribution system and method for their use. In a preferred example, the fluid distribution system is an automated or semi-automated on-command hot water system, wherein the wireless, self-recharging fluid distribution system comprises a fluid turbine and a battery, for converting fluid flow into electricity to recharge the battery. In certain examples, the wireless, self-recharging fluid distribution system also comprises a sensor component, such as a sensor selected from the group consisting of a pressure sensor, a moisture sensor, a sound-receiving sensor, a temperature sensor, a flow sensor, and a chemical sensor. In some examples such fluid distribution systems may be of particular use in environments having limited access to electricity, such as vessels, mobile homes, trailers, and 'of the grid'structures having no access to dependable electricity supply.
