This invention involves a hydroelectric turbine system that is capable of producing electricity while sustaining a majority of the fluid flow or hydraulic pressure within the pipe line or pipe network driving the system. The system's objective is to shave as little pressure as possible from an enclosed pipe system that requires pressure to operate and function properly. More particularly, this invention relates to a hydroelectric turbine generator system wherein the system is specially designed and configured with an unique impeller and fluted turbine housing that enable a generator device to produce a particular amount of electric current and voltage, while yet minimizing flow restriction and pressure loss to the fluid pressure driving the system. Application of this technology includes all fluid flow or fluid transfer systems that require sustained pressure to move fluids like water or other materials from one location or point to another, through pipes, pipe systems or networks, regardless of distance or pipe size diameters. This invention, for example will be ideally suited for powering electronic control or monitoring systems in landscapes, parks, roadway easements, golf courses or public water transfer systems or other remote sites that may require power.

This invention, for example will be ideally suited for powering electronic control or monitoring systems in landscapes, parks, roadway easements, golf courses or public water transfer systems or other remote sites that may require power. Utilization of this invention provides an ecological and reliable energy production source, usually on a small scale, in remote locations where incorporating other forms of power supply may be less practical, impractical or impossible.
