Abstract

A turbine assembly includes a turbine having a seat extending outward from a top face and a bottom face of the turbine, a shaft hole defined in a bottom face of the seat, multiple blades divergently extending outward and multiple tapered passages each defined between two adjacent blades. A shaft is securely mounted on top of the seat and has an upper portion configured to allow the upper portion of the shaft to be snugly extended into the shaft hole of an adjacent turbine so that each turbine assembly is able to combine a different turbine assembly via the extension of the upper portion of the shaft into the shaft hole of the adjacent turbine.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A turbine assembly comprising:
 a turbine having a seat extending outward from a top face and a bottom face of the turbine, a shaft hole defined in a bottom face of the seat, multiple blades divergently extending outward and multiple tapered passages each defined between two adjacent blades; and   a shaft securely mounted on a top face of the seat and having an upper portion configured to allow the upper portion of the shaft to be snugly extended into the shaft hole of an adjacent turbine so that each turbine assembly is able to combine a different turbine assembly via the extension of the upper portion of the shaft into the shaft hole of the adjacent turbine.   
   
   
       2 . The turbine assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the shaft is integrally formed on the seat. 
   
   
       3 . The turbine assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the seat has a positioning hole defined in the top face of the seat and the shaft has a lower portion extendable into the positioning hole. 
   
   
       4 . The turbine assembly as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the positioning hole has a configuration substantially the same as that of the shaft hole. 
   
   
       5 . The turbine assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the shaft is configured in such a way that after the upper portion of the shaft is inserted into the shaft hole of the adjacent turbine assembly, rotation of the shaft is able to drive the turbine to rotate simultaneously. 
   
   
       6 . The turbine assembly as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the shaft is configured in such a way that after the upper portion of the shaft is inserted into the shaft hole of the adjacent turbine assembly, rotation of the shaft is able to drive the turbine to rotate simultaneously. 
   
   
       7 . The turbine assembly as claimed in  claim 5  further comprising a bottom cap securely mounted at the bottom face of the turbine and a top cap securely mounted at the top face of the turbine, wherein the bottom cap has a dimension substantially the same as a dimension of the turbine, a water inlet defined through the bottom cap to communicate with the passages and align with the shaft hole of the turbine and a flange formed around the water inlet to concentrate water inflow into the water inlet, the water inlet has a dimension substantially larger than a dimension of the shaft hole and of the seat, the top cap is securely mounted at a top of the turbine and has a dimension substantially the same as the dimension of the turbine and a cutout defined at a free end of the top peripheral edge of the top cap to correspond to each of the passages. 
   
   
       8 . The turbine assembly as claimed in  claim 6  further comprising a bottom cap securely mounted at a bottom face of the turbine and a top cap securely mounted at a top face of the turbine, wherein the bottom cap has a dimension substantially the same as a dimension of the turbine, a water inlet defined through the bottom cap to communicate with the passages and align with the shaft hole of the turbine and a flange formed around the water inlet to concentrate water inflow into the water inlet, the water inlet has a dimension substantially larger than a dimension of the shaft hole and of the seat, the top cap is securely mounted at a top of the turbine and has a dimension substantially the same as the dimension of the turbine and a cutout defined at a free end of the top peripheral edge of the top cap to correspond to each of the passages.
