Abstract
An integrated turbine generator/motor () which consists of a housing () having a cylindrical body () and an eyebolt retaining plate () attached to the top surface of the cylindrical body (). A ring gear () is rotatably disposed adjacent to the eyebolt retaining plate () and a plurality of turbine blades () are joined to turbine blade brackets () that are attached onto a peripheral edge of the ring gear (). A plurality of pinion gears () rotatably interface with the ring gear () and a plurality of planetary gears () are connected beneath and are rotated by the pinion gears (). When the generator/motor () functions as a generator () it includes a driven shaft () with a sun gear () attached, with the generator disposed within the housing. The sun gear () is rotated by the planetary gears () which create electrical energy from the generator by rotation of the ring gear (). When the generator/motor is used as a motor electrical energy is supplied to the motor which can power a watercraft () or a motor vehicle ().
